When I bought my car, it came with an aftermarket head unit. However, it's acting up on me (I think because it was poorly installed), and I want to replace it. In any case, I want to go back to an original style head unit. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to get one? I went to GM parts direct, but they want over $600. Anyone have a cheaper alternative?

Thanks,
Frank

 

go to ebay...you can usually find one for a hundred bucks or so.....or you can look in the classified section on this forum.....there is usually someone sellin one....good luck

 

Or try the F-body recycle yards.

 

I've seen them dirt cheap on ebay, anywhere from 10-30 bucks at times.

 

Kept mine for just this reason

 

I noticed a couple on on the LS1.com for sale section last night.

 

Is it a CD unit or tape?

 

Ebay for sure.

 

I'd prefer a tape, but a CD would be ok too. I want a tape player because I use a tape adapter to play my Ipod through my stereo.

 

haha i could sell u my tape one! it is out of my 97 z28. little to no use. car has 24,000 miles and i always used the 12 disk in the trunk (which i will also be selling if u want it) 100 bucks, u pay shipping.

 

100 bucks shipped***

 

M5camaro did you get my PM?

 

I don't know if the one I got for my 95 works in the 97+ models, but I got mine for $1 plus $10 shipping on Ebay last fall....

Just the stock tape player/AM-FM, mind you.

I am debating getting a cover blank for that since the last owner really did a butcher job on the harness (what's left of it, that is) in my car. There were speaker wires running all over the car exposed...

You pay my cost, lob me a PM, and it's probably yours.

 

Check your local car audio shops. They might have one for cheap or may even give you one for free, it just depends. They might have one lying around that someone didn't want when they got a new headunit put in, it's worth a try.
