On the bright side, Lucy got her new filter and plugs and she's purring like a kitten. Her new lights arrive tomorrow.
consider it progress!

i thought so but thanks for checking! It's the sh*++iest of sh*++y head units.... It's going to have to go. I'd like to find an upgraded OEM unit of that body style.

They are programmed to the body modules and will not work in another car. The phone, alarm, MB's version of onstar all run through it. Aftermarket is your best bet.

Usually those things are just bad solder (as per consumer electronics). If I was closer I'd fix it for you. If you want to resurrect it, get hubby to take it to work and give some techo a carton of beer to have a look at it.

Scares me to think about the RDX and the radio/nav system in it. If it were to die $$$$ I'm sure.

I need to find a radio for the boxster that has the rear channel in it. I have the deck box but not the radio to push it.

I recently got a BLAUPUNKT! 420 to put in the '44.

I like that word BLAUPUNKT!, you have to yell it out with a German accent.

Marilyn has her original cassette radio, I like the look of it, but it needs an overhaul, the volume is very screechy when you are adjusting the thing, the crunching and screeching almost deafens you, but eventually you get a setting that is okay, and just leave it there. I am sure that Jeff could fix it!!

I have to look to see if it has a rear input, but I don't think it has.

I got one of these to replace the single DIN radio in the Rover.



Has all the modern usb and bluetooth connectivity/streaming stuff and surround sound.

Looking to do the car pc thing in the 928 after converting the console to fit a double DIN unit.
