Adding Cassette to 2002 EX

I'm a first time Honda owner who just purchased a 2002 Civic EX that I'm quickly falling in love with. My car has an in-dash CD player, which is a nice feature. However, I'd like to add cassette functionality as well. Can anyone recommend a unit that I could add to my car, perhaps to go in the storage slot area beneath the CD player, that would have a cassette deck that could be controlled through the main system?

Thanks for any recommendations!

May I suggest you replace the whole head unit with an all-in-one solution like this gorgeous Clarion Head Unit that plays CDs, Cassettes and MP3 files?

That's not a bad price either, $119. I think the dealer charges around $400.

If you want to keep the stock look, I would buy a new honda tape player for the top, and the stock cd player addon for the bottom (just a slot to put a cd in and the H logo). It looks really clean. Then you could sell your old cd deck here.
