Trying to remember - Is it a simple swap to add a 'symphony' stereo in to a car that doesn't have 1?

Default not exactly simple on a 98.5 but it can be done.

need to replace the whole center console, figure out the HVAC, buttons, etc. It's not a direct swap at all.

Default Hook up an MP3 player....easiest thing to do and the sound quality

will sound the same assuming the mp3 files are at least decent in quality. You can run some kind of iPod adapter to the cd changer cable in your trunk or it can plug into the back of the radio if you don't have the pre-wired cd changer cable (which is by your spare tire jack)
