jart Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Howdy all, new to the board... I have a 2K Outback with the clarion in-dash cd changer that has started to skip, it cannot seem to hold a track, I would love to replace this with the same but the replacement cost is too high in my opinion. Anyone have an one for sale, or a place to get the current one repaired? What are some good third party options? I have a long commute and lack of a CD player is driving me crazy #^%$$&*#!

JT95 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Check out eBay. I just bought a remote mount Subaru CD changer from there and saw several in-dash Subaru ones last week. Now I just gotta locate exactly where these things were mounted from the factory... http://search.ebay.com/subaru-cd-changer_W0QQsokeywordredirectZ1QQfromZR8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jart Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 Thanks JT but I am looking for the changer only, I believe I have found a company here in Denver that will repair for $135 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 that fit right in and gave me space for a cd holder in the dash. I considered repairing the skipper but the cost was too near that of a new CD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT95 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 $135 isn't too bad, compared to the price of a brand new Subaru unit. Still, if you're not in a huge hurry, I'd watch eBay for a couple of weeks. I just bought a new, in the factory box, remote Subaru 6 CD changer for $12. Since they only hook up to a factory Subaru radio, not too many folks out there need one, so you can get one cheap if you wait around. I'm on a pretty tight budget, so that was the best bet for me. If $135 doesn't bother you, then that might be better so you get some sort of guarantee. I don't think anyone has an aftermarket changer that plugs into the factory Subaru. If you don't mind the time and effort investment, you can usually pick up a barely used in-dash 6 changer unit that should easily replace what you have and it would still be had for less than $100. If I couldn't find a replacement changer to plug into my radio, that was the route I was going to take. I'd rather have the CDs in the dash, but for $12 I'll be content to reach under the seat. Good luch whatever route you take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jart Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 Well the $ 135 was turning in to $250 and a 3 to 6 week turn around, guess I will just have to be patient and keep searching. A used one in town goes for for $200, bleh... Oh, by the way, the weather is great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
