My advice is, if you must have a CD changer, just pick up a replacement unit on eBay. They run about $250 to $300 there.
Alternately, take advantage of the situation and dump the CD changer in favor of an iPod installation using the Ice Link Plus interface from Dension. You won't regret it.

Dealer is asking for $750 to replace it (they don't do repair).  My extended warranty coverage covers only up to $250 in repair. Warranty folks is telling me to bring it elsewhere so they could remove the unit, send it off to get repaired.
So, If I do this REPAIR at a 'qualified' stereo repair shop, is there any NAV/Monitor/Display/DSP issues that I should be aware of that may come up that could further 'cause more headaches/problems???? Just wondering if I should just bite the big one and get a replacement changer at the dealer instead to be on the safe side. 
Any insight and help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!! |
