Standard boss stereo

[Blocko]

I'm having problems with the CD player on my GTs stereo. Anyone selling one in full working order.

 

Thanks

I have several, but you are aware that you will have to get it coded to your car? i.e. not plug and play.

 

Thanks

I wasn't aware I thought they'd just have a code. What's pairing cost, maybe I'll be better just going aftermarket

[GMballistic]

Definitely better off going for an aftermarket stereo Blocko.

If divorced properly from the donor vehicle then they will be plug and play, otherwise, as what the guys above have said.

Really?! I had no idea.

 

You won't believe how many of these I have thrown in the bin because they are un-sellable without codes

[techinstaller]

or if they are good non skipping cd units ,you could have dismantled the units and removed the cd multi unit and sold them for people to swap the faulty CD unit on their own car that bit is not coded

[techinstaller]

also the front panel completly removes from the rest of the unit and is not coded so if you have mint front panel and buttons ,thats another spare part for sale to replace worn ,tatty or faulty button stereo

Good call Tech - I didn't think about that

Is it easy to do? Thanks

[Jon T]

I've never done it, but you are welcome to the 21k miles one I have. The entire unit or the CD player part. Thanks

[Blocko]

I don't know how to get it coded but if I can find a how to I might try the cd part route. How much for each option? Thanks

[Jon T]

Complete £50

 

Separate part £35

 

Thanks

Will the complete one have been divorced properly and therefore plug and play?

[techinstaller]

Its not that hard to swap out the internal CD unit from the stereo chassis its sort of a complete unit that fits in from the top and has a few screws holding it and a wiring loom .

The front panel clips off as a complete unit as well from memory with no wires or looms involved ,I have actually swapped the newer Bose stereo front panel from a later facelift unit onto the original DE non face lift Bose stereo to get around the code problem when i fitted a full later facelift console and center panel as the corners of the front panel are a different shape and contour and i prefered to keep the car standard looking.

I say not difficult but skill set of the individual might be relervent as i strip vehicles interiors and electronics daily for installations etc

No, I'm not sure how he does it. I literally just un-plug it from the main wiring loom,
