You should be able to get a reasonable CD & MP3 Pioneer, Kenwood, Clarion, JVC etc headunit for around that money.

Or for a little more, something like this from eBay:

My work colleague just updaetd his headunit in my current model Golf to a Pioneer AVIC F900BT ... but it's a bit above your $200 mark you are looking at.

double din in size ... does everything for you ... would probably make coffee for you if you could get the right adaptor. :P
