I thought about trying that. I do have an Iphone although it's an old one. I'm planning on upgrading it soon since in my new Jeep it has Apple Carplay. I talked to a few people I know about the plug in adapter for the cassette and they said it works but not very good. Even the one that plugs into the aux plug they said wasn't very high quality. That's why I was initially looking for the radio
For $20 you will not get a Bose or Harmon and Carver sounding system but if you listen to pop or rock and like the volume up it sounds great. I used this for 6 plus years and in 2 rangers. The only issue I ever had was occasionally after a call I would need to do a hard reset so others could hear me on my phone. Its $20, a very reasonable experiment.
Pioneer has a head unit for apple play and Pumpkin is a good unit for android.
I think whether you go with a 6ish or 7inch screen size you will still need to modify the bezel by either filling the sides or trimming with a dremel.
More people are going with apple or android tablets and I've seen a couple nice installs. They make your radio opening a cubby and have a arm come out and attach to the back of the tablet. It's pretty slick, but you mentioned you intend to use CDs....
