Where to find replacement CD Player?

[creeg]

I just got an Ipod adaptor for my stock stereo when the changer died, put in a cubby hole where the changer used to be, and have never looked back.

Got an old Ipod for under $100 and just leave it in the car all the time.

I talked to Merlin today and in passing while ordering the trooper cubby.. He suggested calling Fujitsu Ten at 1-800-237-5413... He said they have replacement/exchange players availible for a fee.. since I tore mine apart with tin snips.. I dont think they will want to exchange but someone might use this info.. good luck

Found this today.. for those that are interested

I replaced my stock system with a Pioneer AVIC-N4 and installed a cobra CB where the stock cd player used to be. The radio and CD Player both were working great when I removed them. I was going to hold onto them but, if someone else really wants/needs either or both...make me an offer.

P.S.-- I removed the mounting brackets from the stock CD Player to use on my CB radio in order to mount it into the dash...so the CD Player would need your mounting brackets in order to remount into your dash. (easy job)

I did replace both the cassette & the CD player.

On the upper slot i place in a kenwood cassette player w/remote & on the lower slot i place an digital EQ full DIN 10 bands,looks very,very cool.
I also runned a full speakers wiring without touching the factory,the harness were left intact by just using a metra adaptor.Two 12" subwoofer (600watts each) & four 300watts three-way speakers each one was the complement along with an 6 CD changer unit,a 3.00 farads cap & two 550 watts four channel amps ALL ARE KENWOOD BRAND0

Years pass along when last i did this sort of job,usually for friends & folks.

I was kind of lazzy when i started,because it takes a lot of time doing all this,specially the wiring.but i split the job by doing a bit every weekend

I just installed a Kenwood KVT-512 7" flip-up DVD with iPod (in the glove compartment) interface tonight.

Install was straight forward using the Metra 70-7712 adapter. I had bought a lesser adapter off eBay that was supposed to work on a VCROSS, but a few contact pins were off. I was worried the whole time I was wiring, even after getting the Metra harness, as the stock vehicle harness does not have the universal wire colors for speakers +, -, etc., but this harness nicely fit the bill.

I am impressed with how a little extra amperage makes the stock speakers sound so much better.

No cutting of dash hole; used the mounts from the factory head unit; can't use the Kenwood beauty ring as our radio sit behind the dash hole, but I will cut a rubber membrane to fit over the outside of the radio before I put the dash on next time to mask the 2-3mm void all around.

The XM interface is due in next week, so it will all come out again for that, and I'll save my pennies for the navigation unit in a few months. After that, 6 1/2" rear speakers as they sound the most anemic in my VX.

my changer died months ago so I think this might be a stupid question but I'm going to ask it anyways... (it being more than one ofcourse)
Q1... Is it hard to get your CDs into the cd player down by the shifter?
Q2... Could I put the cubby in the tape decks place instead of the changers (like where u put ur screen) until I figure out what I wanna do if its easy to put CDs in the player by the shifter?
Q3... (Off the original topic) is it true I don't need to go high end on my bass?my friend told me I only need high end stuff for the highs and mids.
Q4... (Still off topic) are our stock speakers good for an upgraded head unit if I'm not applying an amp to them?

Thanx in advance. I'm sure I'll be getting my questions answered.

Of course all querstion will be answered.

1: Is not really hard to have the cd's into the changer,jusy make sure whenever you are about to load your changer the cd's are straigh level,otherwise an accident could happen.

2:About the cubby i believe you can do that,but you got to keep in mind the changer wouldn't work without the cassette player.
3: all depends on your opinion about music,if you like the boom,boom window blasting you should go for it,of course the aereodinamic interior design of the VX makes the sound very acoustic,if you aren't into the boom,boom then you can do two things
1: Upgrade the rear speakers for an four-way ones & no sub at all

2: Upgrade all speakers two-way,better wattage & one 8" sub 300/350 watts

But all this is up to your likeness.

I did replace all the stock speakers,i add three-way 300 watts each all around,two 12' subs 600 watts each,cassette player w/remote,an 6 CD changer,an 10 band digital EQ & 3 farads cap,believe me it sounds great.


4: About if the stock speakers can work with a upgraded head unit oh yea they do,just add one that would not overround the top wattage output
That means if your stock speakers can handle up to 180 watts you shouldn't add a head unit that spit over 170 watts if you do you can assume those speakers can go booom at any time.Specially if you play your music for long periods of time
