having problems with my radio- it works sometimes but doesn't other times (if you know what I mean) any suggestions for a replacement or a repair, maybe a better radio that will fit and still match the panel?? any suggestions welcomed. thanks

 

If a radio is all you are looking for, most Blaupunkt's are plug and play.
If panel matching is your thing, look into the marine head units, many are close to the silver panel color.

( And, yes, I know what you mean - I have a wife like that )

 

thanks for the info, I am looking into a replacement radio - this one that came with the car has a mind of its' own.

 

my son-in-law just happens to be this business of car electronics and when I ran it by him as to my radio woes, he suggested I remove it pack it up and and send it to him to bench test. Turns out nothing was wrong with the radio so he suggested I disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for a few minutes, re-install the radio then try it again. .... Bingo, this thing is now working perfectly again. Go figure !.

 

Worked for me too

 

Yea, but a new $85-$150 head unit would sound SO much better than that factory one.

I'm on Crossfire #3, Id never replaced the radio before, but this car's radio died on the way home. I put an $85 JVC head in there from BestBuy and was amazed at what I'd been missing. Also, I have all my music on a thumb drive that plugs into the head - I listen to what I like now.
