Radio Repair

[fastmark1993]

i was happy with my stock systwm....then i added my subs off the stock deck. my only complaint is the stock tweeters sometimes have a hard time keeping upw/ the 3 12's.

i agree i did the exact same as you. prevents theft and keeps it stock. i didnt want a fancy head unit because its distracting when driving

I bought one for $35 on Ebay. They really aren't that hard to find.

There are exceptions. The new Jag system sounds killer. The Z8's had a very nice HK system and a couple years ago I was in a new Lexus with the Mark Levinsion system and it was really really nice.
Caddys 5.1 THX systems were decient too.

Lincoln LS some have the THX system

Mine is starting to mess up also. I would also like to have it repaired. I realize that there are better aftermarket units, but NONE of them truly fit the look of the dash as well as factory.

So my CD player stopped working on my OEM in dash CD player, am thinking about getting it fixed, has anyone ever had an OEM radio repaired? Google resulted in many companies, but they all look shady as hell...

There's a place in Tampa and they also have a place in Cleveland,,they're really big THEY FIX RADIOS & DASH INSTRUMENTS even real old dash stuff. Before I discovered this site I had the radio in my Mark fixed. They get radios and other stuff from all over the country,,dealers,,private stuff. The place in Tampa has about 75 employees. I couldn't believe it. They have radios EVERYWHERE stocked. At first the guy told me on the phone he had my radio but when I got there he had found out he didn't. He had a Mark V11 one. So they fixed mine. I waited while they fixed it. Very nice showroom and waiting area. Before they took my Mark back in the shop I had to go over everything with a guy and sign a statement that everything worked or didn't work. Wipers,,all blowers,,air cond,,lights,,horn,,turn signals,, etc etc etc. When I find the name of the place (I file everything--unless we left it in Fla.) I will Post it. The place was a CLASS place and it was out in the suburbs. I will check with Jamie also he may know,right off. Later MOJ'

I'm not that OCD ...

Well guys I have to defend Brandon on this one, if he's anything like me.

#1 aftermarket radios at an attraction for theft.

#2 the displays/faces don't match up to factory looks

#3 some of us really like the fact that everything is stock, and I would be more inclined to buy AND pay more monies for a vehicle that's stock rather than modified, including the audio system.



I have paid as much a $90 for a factory AM/FM/CASS for my 1985 F150 to have a factory radio to put back in, and i get more comments on my vehicle's interiors, that they look great stock than having an aftermarket head unit in there.

But hey that's just me, that's the cool thing about us, we are as much individuals as our vehicles.

Hmm when I sent my old 94 to the junkyard the OEM in dash CD went with it... I'll see if it's still there next time I'm out there, they have a 94 listed in their inventory still.

Needless to say I was not a fan of the stock setup. I am a fan of an in car PC with a Soundblaster X-Fi running through a Clarion amp/Infinity Kappa components and an Infinity amp and their Perfect 10 subs... but that's just me.
