Default 2009 XL OEM FM/AM Radio.

My Radio (w/o a CD player) has its Own Station display (like a after market would). Above my Bezal twords near Dashboard there is a Pocket that Holds My Business cards and Iphone. Is this Where the CD/radio display would be if i had a XLT with CD? So anotherwords I cant Swop to a XLT CD player even if it plugs in and fits because the Display is non existent except in a Higher Modesl Dash package??? Any help out there appreciated as Ive run into Only others that are confused also on this subject when Ive tried to buy a OEM CD player.
Heres a Pic. Theres nothing abouve Bezel except a little Pocket for small items.

In my opinion (I'm sure others will agree) the stock stereo on trims higher than xl are crap. And not much better than what you have now. I'd just get a nice double din aftermarket

Yup, I guess thats what Im gonna do. Its to bad at the same time because my 2001 Harley had a Great Sound system after I put subs into it. The stock Deck
& 6 cd player sounded just fine.

Correct

You pretty much summrd it up.

When I had my 2010 XL the stock radio was swapped with an aftermarket double DIN stereo --- took me aboiut a 1/2 hour .

At the time I did inquire as to what's involved installing the OEM unit with display. It was complicated and cost prohibitive to consider.

In other words ... it was cheaper , easier , and a better result installing the aftermarket unit.
