I replaced my 04 OEM 6 CD changer with something newer because I wanted BT and a backup cam.
The OEM works fine. Some of the buttons are worn and once in awhile it does kick out a cd, which I just put back in and it plays fine. A thorough internal cleaning would probably cure that. I've only used a lens cleaning cd on it.
Are they worth trying to sell?
I get the impression they are bound to the vehicle they come in and you need a spendy tool to recode them?
Can I hook it to a 12V source and play music with it in my garage or will it refuse to work because it's no longer hooked to the vehicle it came in? (I don't really need that, I have a laptop out there with a 2.1 speaker system I use for music and manuals.)
