The cd player portion of my am/fm-cassette-cd radio recently started spitting out every cd inserted into it. It shows "disc-in", and I can hear it spin probably 4-5 times without actually starting to play, and then ejects the disc. Even a cleaning disc gets spit out. I took the entire unit out of the dash, and a complete cleaning with compressed air has no effect (without a complete disassembly of the cd player). Has anyone had a similar problem, and is it an easy fix? Or, anyone know a good place to find just the cd portion replacement? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Marketplace is a good place to start for just the CD section if its the 2 din separate radio that has am/FM/Cass on top and CD on bottom, etc.

 

Ebay has always been good for the 6 disc in dash takeout units from WRX's and such. These look and sound awesome!

Unless you can pick up just the CD player for cheap, the 6 Disc changer is the way to go. I put one in my 97 OB. Plugs right in. Works great. (Note, I'm not sure if the newer ones still plug right in. Others could tell you.)

To check out 'The Marketplace' move down the page to the 'Forum Jump' window and click on the check mark. Then select it from the list.

 

DIN is a standard for the size of the component. 2 DIN means double the height.
