Does your stock head unit have a tape deck?  If so, use a tape adapter.
There are also FM radio adapters; they work too, but I find them annoying
on long trips because I keep having to switch frequencies to find one
that's clear.

The best 'stealth' setup I ever saw was on an old Chevy with a metal dash.
The owner recessed the aftermarket head unit into the dash a little, then
attached magnets to the back of the stock blank plate so he could stick it
over the opening!
