I am also afraid the the stereo might be too powerfull and blow the speakers.
If you really are worried about installing the radio, get a Blaupunkt aftermarket headunit.. their unit is direct plug and play with our harness, and you only need an antenna adapter.. couldn't be any easier, and +1 buy from crutchfield, they'll send you the radio removal keys and antenna adapater for free.
BTW, you didn't say how much you'd be willing to spend but anything from bestbuy will be near price in this with install (don't let them install it anyways, i've seen bad bad bad bad things from those installers even on stuff as simple as headunits..)

Has a front panel aux port as well, you didn't specifiy if you wanted to run the cable from the back to the front, so I figured if you're leary about hooking up a headunit you wouldn't want to take apart pieces to run the cable as well.. sot he front port fits nicely.
