I wouldn't go aftermarket in these cars, I'd stick with the factory radios if possible simply to avoid problems associated with the intregal nature of the headunit and everything else in the car. You'd instantly lose the radio information present in the instrument cluster, you may lose connectivity with your CD Changer in the trunk, and you have to be careful of any issues related to a Bose system if you have one.
Since you mention that your headunit only has a cassette player and no CD I have to assume that you're talking about the Concert I stereo, single DIN. The '99.5 cars moved to the double DIN Symphony I stereo. I'm not convinced that you can install a Concert II head unit in your car (has a single CD player) because the Concert II may require the CAN-BUS wiring loom and it's not something you can easily install.
