dealership stole my cd player?

So my girl just got the nicest 99 lgt limited. such a sexy car. I test drove it, and the cd player worked. left a deposit. I picked it up a week later, and i am driving home from the dealership. I go turn on the cd player and its not working. Its all green and lit up. but its just bright green. doesnt say anything and none of the buttons work. it doesnt even turn off. it just stays on radiating green. anyone know what this is?

 

i know i could find a cheep headunit. i dont like the look of aftermarket. anyone know of another oem headunit that would fit besides the legacys?

Either they did a swap, or it's just that it did hung itself up.

 

I suggest that you go back to the dealership and require them to fix it.

It's a 10-year-old car CD player. They aren't the most reliable things out there.

 

Also, are you playing a bought or burned CD? The older stock setups don't like some burned CDs.

I have a stock legacy gt cassette radio deck from a 99. Its perfect for tape adapter and ipod if you want the stock look. Im only asking 25 shipped

i dont get the subject of this post

go back to the dealer and talk to them.

i have the stock tape deck and cd stack i could give you cheap. pm me

Pretty much any 1dim or 2dimm cd deck will plug in with ease from across the subaru line up till 05 as they changed the front bezel style which made the radio integrated for some of them such as the legacy, but ones such as the 06 STi might have a matching bezel its a 2 dimm style cd deck. which will probably work in your car.

THANKS WESTCOAST. i wasnt sure if it was a standard din size. it looked a little smaller then a 2 din.

I dont know much about audio. could it be a fuse or something? could it not be attached properly. its the panasonic, 2 din headunit with a built in cd player. not the 2 seperate 1 dins. when the dash lights are on the headunit lights up. it wont turn on though.

well it wont be a fuse as if the fuse for the radio was out, then it wouldnt light up at all as the fuse controls the power going to the cd deck. So that leaves you with the unit itself, I would find the fuse and replace it just for the heck of it as who noes it might be a bad fuse thats no letting it get full voltage. Iono if you have tried this but press the volume knob, this turns off the radio and turns it on as well and just might be the problem. Other than that they either switched the radio or something or it just happened to die when you got ahold of it.

Any pre-08 Forester, or older WRX radio/CD player will fit. The DIN size is the same. Only disadvantage, they are silver, and the Legacy is dark gray, so it sticks out like a sore thumb.

 

But, it works great.

stock cd deck will only play CD-R. this includes bought cds. and if you burn them right they will work. my cd player also dont work in the cold.

Thanks, guys. I apreciate the help. I searchded and I can seem to find out wattage for my speakers. I can get a single din sony for a good price but its only 17w per channel. Anyone know if that's taking full advantage of the speakers? Its a limited. Also, its only a single din and I got a 2 din hole in my dash. I know that the non limiteds come with a single din radio. What comes in the other din, some kind of cubby?

most stock speakers are only 15W/ea. so 17W is good. you dont want to over power them.

You can either get a stock cubby for the other din slot or you can get an aftermarket.

Anyone that was offering there stock radio's have a cubby they are looking to part with
