No problems at all to remove and replace the stereo system with any aftermarket units avaliable. You should go to a couple of real auto stereo shops and see what is available and see the quality of work they do.

The only issue is that no aftermarket head unit will work with the MOST bus amplifier. So he will also need a new amplifier and have them wired to the existing speakers....sounds simple, but it may begin to get costly....but it is very possible.
