2005 VUE CD Player
The CD player in my 2005 VUE doesn't work. Radio is otherwise fine. Would
you: 1) Take it to a Saturn dealer to repair? 2) Go to a car stereo place and get the whole thing replaced? 3) Just live with it, since my last car only had cassette anyway? 4) Other Note, I'm not an audiophile, but I do have a lot of music on CD and was hoping to use it when I do longer drives. |

I'd go for option #2 and get exactly what you want. -- www.perfectreign.com || www.filesite.org powered by the lizard: www.opensuse.org |

2005 VUE CD Player
Ditto "PerfectReign". The Saturn dealer does not have the technical
expertise to "repair" the radio. They will just drop in a new radio and charge you $900. So your choice #2 makes the most sense....unless you have time to search some auto scrap yards for a wrecked Vue. BTW does your Vue have a lot of body squeeks and rattles?

Presumably it's past the 3/36 warranty. If you're not an audiophile you can often find a free or low-cost replacement from someone who is an audiophile and already removed the original. Post it up on your local Freecycle group, and check craigslist and eBay. Crutchfield has a very good web site for narrowing down the acceptable units by features. I'd probably opt for the Pioneer DEH-P7000BT. Just remember that if you have On-Star, it won't work (at least it won't be fully functional) with a non-factory radio. There are some workarounds to get back the voice prompts. |

There are aftermarket connectors which allow On* to work with aftermarket radios. I have one on my Avalanche for my Kenwood unit. http://www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com....php?album=292 http://www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com...106&fullsize=1 Here's almost the same model Kenwood in a Vue. I plan to put on in my wife's Vue sometime this year. http://www.saturnfans.com/photos/sho...hp?photo=43705 -- www.perfectreign.com || www.filesite.org powered by the lizard: www.opensuse.org |
