skeith Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) This is the cd player that came with the car, so it is in the dash. Problem is that the disc just doesn't seem to load. It goes in but never plays. Is going to a dealer (Toyota) for repair smart? I generally avoid that since they are so expensive and just use a mechanic down the street. The car is 12 years old Who does replacement? Best Buy I think does it. Anyone have any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jim Alfredson Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Check Crutchfield.com They are a bit pricey, but they include instructions, the wiring harness, faceplates, etc. to put an aftermarket stereo in almost any car. You can specify what car you have on the website and you'll know exactly what new stereos fit in your opening. Either that or hit the junkyards and try to find the same stereo and just swap it.

sjarrell Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Buy Kevin Breshnahan's cd/mp3 disc changer w/ fm transmitter, if he still has it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Buy Kevin Breshnahan's cd/mp3 disc changer w/ fm transmitter, if he still has it... Sorry, I sold it a few weeks ago. If it's a Toyota, chances are it's a standard head unit. If it's a separate CD "deck" attached to the Toyota head unit, try the local junk yards. One of those would be easy to swap. The whole head unit take a bit more effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 When my car's CD player blew out, I bought a new one with a Sirius receiver. Believe it or not, I have never used the CD player. Rarely the radio. 99% Sirius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole head unit take a bit more effort. No I don't think it is separate - if I understand you correctly. It is inside the dashboard along with the tape deck and radio (which work fine) fairly close together - so it may be just one unit. That's harder to replace? would have thought if it is one piece it may be easier to find the whole thing than just a cd player... by the way, thanks to everyone for your suggestions!!
