There are no GM/Delco head units that play MP3s and will fit in your car without modification - no matter what they tell you on ebay.

Monsoon and plain old Delco head units are exactly the same except for the little Monsoon label on the front.

Camaro and Firebird head units are interchangeable but they look different (especially lighting) and have somewhat different features.

Look in the cubby hole on the left side of the hatch area (next to the t-top storage area). That's where the optional factory CD changer was mounted.

If you have a cassette head unit, there are several auxiliary input adapters that will plug into the CD changer port on the back of the HU. The GM9-AUX is the most popular.

If you have a single CD head unit then you are out of luck. You'll have to change your HU to either a cassette (any year) or a newer CD (2000+) to be able to use any of the adapters.
