How badly do you want to keep the stock radio? The stock radio is pretty crappy and it might be worth your while to just upgrade to an aftermarket system. Another option you have is to try to buy a used one off another member that has upgraded theirs, they'll probably sell it to you for cheap. Don't forget to get the radio code also. Good luck.

 

On ebay they go for about $200-300.

 

Make sure you get a unit for the MOST optical BUS, or your amp won't work.

 

well mine is the nice navi stock radio, i like it, lets see what i find on ebay.

 

Just curious, but what's the problem you have? My Nav CD won't eject more than a 1/16", so I can't play CDs in my car after disconnecting the CD changer to install a Dension Gateway. I was thinking about having it fixed, but am afraid to see the bill. I'm fine with sticking to just the ipod for now. Let me know how your journey works out.

 

my cd ejecter gone.. i am stuck with same songs now :>

 

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Does it pop out at all? Mine popped out enough where you could see the disc. (Everyone else stop reading from this point as there's potential abuse involved.)

I was able, after more than a few tries, to insert a piece of painters tape into the slot with a thin card on top of it (so the order was: roof of cd slot -> card -> painters "blue" tape-> CD), push eject, and then manage to push the adhesive tape down just enough to grab the CD and pull it out. I then inserted the Nav CD which sits there permanently. I could have just used my CD changer, but I pulled that out and installed the Dension Gateway for my iPod instead. My only real issue is if I buy a new CD and want to listen to it right away. (I guess I could buy a portable CD player, if they still make them, and plug it in to the auxially port on the Dension.) Good luck.
