I mentioned this on the other Riviera forum and it was suggested I check here. Apparently the issue in finding one is that the '95 model uses a different dash than those that housed earlier radios. I did some quick checking around on eBay, etc. but most of what is being offered looks way too big for the available slot on mine. Always thought it'd be cool to add a CD player as well.

I think GM used to sell a single-din CD player that installed in the dash of the 95 above the ashtray.

You should have no trouble having say United Radio (NY) repair your radio/cassette. See https://www.unitedradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Consumer-repair-form.pdf.  United is a major player in logistics and electronics repair.  They are not small, you may want to poke around the web site.  Pricing is reasonable considering the quality.  It can't hurt to ask them about the CD player although I think your best bet for that is web search/eBay.  I think it's this unit with a different plastic nose piece maybe: https://www.ebay.com/itm/194740353626

GM also made a 1.5 DIN AM FM CD but I don't know if it was intended for install in the Riv.

I did a bit of further digging and found through the 1FactoryRadio website that the Riviera uses the same radio as a Corsica of the same year. They don't have any in stock at this point, but that's what it is. I'd seen this website referred to when someone was talking about adding bluetooth or an auxiliary jack to their radio, which can be done with '96 and later models.

...all they (1FactoryRadio) are doing is wiring abluetooth module into the radio - crack open the case and parallel it onto the aux input basically. See https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight//m/microchip-technology/bm70-bluetooth-low-energy-modules for available bluetooth chips.

So - if you pulled a junkyard radio and sent it to them for overhaul and modification they should be able to do this for you. Call them first he he.
