The 1998 concourse truck stereo and speakers are in bad shape soundwise and I just don't want to mess with changing it and door speakers out. Previous owners installed a stereo/cd player in the back with 4 great aftermarket speakers. Problem is Its not Bluetooth capable and doesn't have a remote. I simply want to be able to play Pandora off my cell phone by way of Bluetooth and/or use a remote for the radio and cd player while I am driving using the 4 great speakers in the back. Any suggestions on a inexpensive stereo that I could mount in the back to serve my purpose?? Walmart? E-Bay?? We are very rural and don't have any stereo shops around here.

Does the current stereo have an aux input? You can get little Bluetooth receivers that plug into the aux port and are typically powered by a USB cord, so they don't draw much.

See this thread for the unit I installed in place of the old VCR. It has worked out great. It was $224 off Amazon a few years ago.

The real advantage to this unit is that it plugs into my flatscreen for playing DVD's. It is Pandora capable as well.
