I sold my TA, and the new owner takes delivery next week. THe volume **** hasn't worked in quite a while, and now the cd player has failed.

I'm not gonna sell the car with a busted stereo, so I need to replace it real quick. What is the best option to to this? BTW, it has the steering wheel controls, and I need those to keep working, no matter what I do.

1) stock used stereo. I found one used stereo on ebay for $75, and the rest were about $200.

2) aftermarket CD player. This could potentially be a cheaper option, but I need some sort of conversion kit for the steering wheel controls. Is there a kit for that? Could I get a decent CD player, install kit, and steering wheel control kit for $200?

 

yes they make a steering wheel control interface. I doubt you will be able to get one and a decent radio and parts for under $200. They can be a pain to program too.

 

Was it Monsoon or not? I have one OEM CD Player with burnt backlight (no monsoon, no bose, came from '96) and tape monsoon deck from '97 which I really don't need at all

 

it should still work reguardless as long as they have the plug for steering wheel controls

 

It's a monsoon CD player from a 99. I'm gonna shop around, but I might hit you up for that CD deck if I can' t find anything.
