Doc Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I have a 93 cutlass with cd and streering controls and the player is not working. Any ideas on how to fix it or how to put in a aftermarket and still use the streering controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88red4cyl Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 If you're wanting to keep the factory stereo, I know that there are places around that repair them.. If I wasn't so tired I'd dig up the links for ya.. http://www.corvetteradios.com/ is the only one I can think of off the top of my head right now though..

White93z34 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 After much stonewalling I have come to the sad conclusion that anyone who knows anything about these CD players guards that knowledge like it is the "Ark of the Covenant". I know that there is at least one person here who knows a thing or two about getting them working, but he isn't talking So needless to say a little over a year ago I drooped some $250 on having http://www.corvetteradios.com rebuild my factory cd player, to date it still works perfect, so take that for what it is worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w00tah Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 To use an aftermarket unit with your steering wheel controls, you'd need an interface to allow the controls to work with the unit. You can find them on Crutchfield or whatnot. Just look up your model year and everything in their What Fits My Car, and find the interface in the CD Player installation section.

Hal H Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I also have a place I've used over the years (in California) quick turnaround too. Speed-O-Tach: http://www.sotelectronics.com/ I've spent around $125 - $150 (one of the times, 8 years ago, they had to replace the CD transport itself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfangd Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 damn as much as i like factory i dont think i would be willing to spend 250 for a 17 year old stereo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCRagtopguy Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 damn as much as i like factory i dont think i would be willing to spend 250 for a 17 year old stereo This is exactly why my cd player has never been repaired. Plus I love my wheel controls. I'd switch the unit out for a newer Delco one if I knew for sure one would interchange with the wheel controls.

You don't have to be stuck with factory headunits to still use your controls. Kef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
