Soo... the MKIIII in your car is a piece of junk... It hates burnt CD's and rarely ejects them...

My recommendation: Start upgrading the system in pieces. The swap to an MKIV DVD based system is super easy, just unplug the CD drive and replace it with a DVD one...

When you're ready, you can then easily upgrade the BM53 radio and radio up front to a widescreen.

One of the experts, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can use the MKIV with an older radio and non-widescreen, right? You just need a newer radio to recognize the widescreen...
