CD player takes a dump....

[03kevo]

Anybody know how to remove the stock radio? The FM/AM radio works but the cd player just says "CD error". Is there a way to fix this?
Tousley wants almost $1200 for a new.

If i go double din set up, how hard is it to do the install?

Thanks in advance.

Very easy install. Just get a Metra install kit, with the 70-5519 harness to retain factory speakers and amps.

Pretty easy install for a double din. I have a kenwood double din in my 04, if you go that route, all of us can help you with the install. If you are looking for a plug and play, I have a mint mach 460 out of my 38k mile 04 for sale if you are interested. I think I even left a CD in there for you.

Mine comes and goes... Usually a good bump with the palm of my hand gets it going again.

Just get the PIE auxilary adapter that lets you play any mp3 player over it. That is what I have got. Have not put a cd in it in 3 years.

$1,200 for that oem pos?

cd error is a very common problem with the factory cd player

removing it is a piece of cake

It's easy to swap out. I got a cheap single din unit from Crutchfield and I swear it sounds better than the stock unit. No need to change out the amps or speakers either.

I think I'll try the pie auxiliary adapter I like that idea

its pretty easy, mine gave me the same error when i bought my car, i got the stuck kids bop cd (came in car when i bought it) out and still got cd error.

PIE FRD03-AUX/S is this the unit you guys have gotten for your cars?

Pm me. I'll send you my stock one. Just pay shipping and pay it foward.

Sounds like a great opportunity/excuse to upgrade from the factory system. :thumbsup:
