Car Cd stereo

yogalady

Hi everyone.

My car was broken into yesterday outside my house at 4pm! Was so upset. They took front of my cd player.It won't work on its own. It of no use to them. rang carcom today and they said it will cost 80 euro to get new one. 80 euro I don't have! Does anyone know where i might pick up a second hand one at reasonable price

Thanks everyone

Real sorry to hear that. Hope you are feeling better now! May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the genitals of the dciks that did that.

Did you purchase the stereo yourself or was it pre installed? Do you know anyone who might be able take the remainder of the stereo out? The model number is prob on the back of it somewhere. Its unlikely you'd be able get the fascia cheap but you'd never know you might get lucky.

Hi Ms. Muffins - Very sorry to hear about that - try not to let the Fúckers get ya down......

First off I'd rule out replacing the front face of that Stereo - Argos have this Sony Stereo (Link) for that quoted €80 + another €15.



The advantage of this is having at least 12 months warranty and also is not a bad product, will play MP3s off a CDR/CDRW and has front Aux-in for your iPod.

- Finally given that the existing Stereo is a Sony you should almost 99.9999% be able to get a friend to pop out the old stereo and plug in the new one in the exact same manner, the little key-tools for removing the actual main unit are included with those Stereos as far as I remember.

P.S. I know you mentioned cash is tight by the way - but just wanted to give you another option

Call in old favours from everyone you know!

Might be worth taking a walk along the likely route the theives would have taken after leaving your car. There is a chance they would have just thrown it over a wall once they realised it was of no use to them. Often when wallets get nicked they are found a short distance away minus the cash and important cards.

Hi all

Just wanted to thank everyone for all the kind words and advice. It is all much appreciated! Happened in Ballinacurra/ greenfields area. That argos one looks really good. thxs 4 looking into that for me. Went out to Auto breakers today and they sold me n old one for 20euro.Said I could return it if it doesn't work. Just need to get someone to istall it. Would anyone be able to recommend somebody who would do it at a reasonble price?

Once again thxs everyone for all the help!

My car got nicked on monday night out in dooradoyle. They nicked the satnav, the powerpack and the torch i had in the boot. They took some dodgy cd's and some books too. They left the radio untouched for some reason. I got it back from Bob Sweeneys yesterday. I reported it stolen to Roxboro at 9.45pm, and at 11.20pm I got a call from the guards to say they had it back. It is driving grand. I couldn't believe that I got it back intact. I was sure it was going to be burnt out. I was in a rush and didn't put the steering wheel lock on. Lesson learned.

Lidl had a car stereo last week I think, think the one with mp3 / bluetooth was about 80. There was also a more basic one fairly recently for about 60. No harm checking those places.

Failing that, you could try halfords.

Here's a link to some of their cheapest ones.

Cheapest new one is just 50.

I've bought a cheap Car stereo in the past, shíte quality build, shíte quality sound and the CDs used to skip like a Boxer in training if you hit a ripple in the road...... Those Sony's from Argos are great value and maybe someone has found them cheaper online or elsewhere?
