Where to find replacement CD Player?

[mrlegoman]

Finally got tired of the CD player not giving me my discs back. So I took it apart....
I seriously doubt it's going back together.....
Did a few searches on ebay and google. Does anyone have suggestion on where to find a replacement cd player? Or is it worth it to just change out the entire radio and build a block-off plate for the cd changer opening?

i have a cd changer for sale if you want it... 100 shipped, worked perfectly when i removed it

or you can just get an aftermarket cd player and put any number of things in the additional slot... i put an aftermarket cd/dvd player in the cd changer slot and a screen in the slot where the tape player was... seen aftermarket cd players in the top slot and cubby hole in the cd changer slot.. i thinkk someone has a speaker mounted in one of the slots too

I replaced it with a decent Kenwood from Crutchfield. The ability to play a single MP3 CD was more valuable to me than switching around redbook CDs. I've got a gaping hole in the lower console right now, that I intend to have filled with a cubbie as soon as I get a chance to pull all the plastic apart.

I'm still holding onto my original deck. I honestly don't know why. Is there really that high of value in having the original parts in it when you sell it, even if they're not working right?

funny, all the problems are the same!
mine died a while back, tried to have it fixed by a professional engineer and he couldnt figure it out! good luck with that.

The stock stereo is pretty weak so I would just replace everything. Over the summer I got a killer deal from Best Buy (Alpine deck, $40 gift card, iPod adapter, and free installation) for just about $200. This setup didn't cost me too much but now I have a CD player, higher wattage radio, and a place to connect my iPod without having to use a wireless transmitter. Just a thought.

Trust us---the factory POS is not worth saving nor is searching for a replacement. Go grab a new unit then take a small amount of joy in crushing the original system with the closest thing you have to a Louisville Slugger
