My pop in the original owner of his ’95 and the CD has been broken for years. I’d love to find a used stock stereo/CD player for Christmas and swap it in for him. Are there salvage yards you’ve used or do you have any ideas how to go about getting one. I’m not interested in an aftermarket one as he has over 200k on the car, he’s over 70 and just wants to listen to his CDs.

Thanks in advance for your input.
Marty

Wayne, I sent you a PM.

I bought a cd-radio from a 2001 Odyssey and installed it in my '96.
I had to buy a wire/plug kit for it, but it fit and works perfectly. The plug kit cost me $10 at advance auto.

This is the exact radio I bought: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-9...735654?pt=Car_Audio_Video&hash=item1c17d23226

I’m not opposed to getting one from a later model esp if it’s plug and play (with an adapter), but what do I do with all the space in the dash. Using your method won’t I have a huge gap?

Here is a pic of his current config.

There's a cubby-hole thingy you can put under the radio. It's large enough to hold sunglasses, notes, etc.


Just like this one:
380292599824 <<Go to ebay and enter that item number

Was your Odyssey in some sort of flood?? The radio and dash don't look too happy in your photo!

Thanks so much for the helpful input I'll check these out and see how to get the plug adapter. Hint hint.

As far as the car goes... the combo of it having 230k on the dial and it being owned by a mad scientist make for a leathal combo. I was showing you the best of the pics. Look at the one below and wonder why the player's broken.

They wonder why I had to marry the first girl that would return my calls.

Cheers,

Do you have a link and a picture of it?

Be careful... Before buying the one that's currently installed in my 96, I bought a radio from a Civic (forget what year) and it would not fit, at all!

Yes, that one will fit.

The radio I purchased before (that didn't fit) looked like this:

I know this is an old thread, but I'm looking to get an OE cd/tape /stereo player to slip into my original dash with the pocket under tape/stereo. Is it a dumb idea to want OE? I was hoping it hold up better? I also like having tape player, anyone else still using theirs? Anyone ever buy from this seller? oem factory original car audio radio stereo dvd player navigation

Also does a single or a six player cd have less problems? Common sense would tell me single is better, but I'm not the brightest on electronics.

At least for me, the OE unit lacks a certain level of... functionality. Frankly put, I'm a millennial, and even CDs are rather archaic. Assuming my stuff from Crutchfield arrives on time, I'm actually replacing the entire OE sound system this holiday weekend. I was torn between JVC and Pioneer, but given its a beater, I went with the cheaper choice all around (JVC), with a digital only head unit, 6.5" front and rear speakers (assuming they fit as Crutchfield says they will) and tweeters - which will go where there were none.
If you want the OE unit, which in my case is cassette and radio only with the pocket and a missing fader knob, it's yours for the cost of shipping.

jslin, thanks, but thats what I have now & want to get a cd player, & hopefully a working tape player.

I still have my original working EX Cassette head unit and CD player. Not free but not the ridiculous prices on ebay. PM me if interested. I also have adapters for AUX in and iPod.
