CDM (radio tuner)...Really!??? Love these cars, but the little things are hard to keep after.

I hear this job will make the steering column rebuild sound like fun. tempted to spend a grand and go aftermarket. btw the amps and tape player still work great so the unit still has sound.

Upgrade just say no to the 80s technology. This is pretty normal C4 stuff don't forget that radio is over 20 years old. GC

Sounds like you gave your head unit a "donkey punch". Hahaha! Every Z owner I know has something not working on there head unit. Cd works but tape deck doesn't. Cd doesn't work but tape works. None of them work but the radio woks ect. Luckily everything works perfectly in mine.

Perfect excuse to ditch the Bose!

If originality doesn't matter to you then Id go for it. But I have to admit that having a cassette deck and cd player all in one is very cool and nostalgic. Of course it does help if it all works.

Oh quit rubbing it in. We get it that your deck is perfect.

Ah! There you are. I knew you'd come crawling out of that machine shop/mancave of yours to say hi.

mike100 · 03-26-2012

well, I turned it on and the radio still comes in in spats and spurts, but the tuner is stuffed I'm pretty sure.

I like the original deck...plus nobody will smash your window out over it. Probably gonna start spending 30-40 minutes a night on it before dark for a few days until I can get it out.

You need to stop inhaling the Berileum copper dust. You know that it will bring out your drag queen tendencies Carter. Its not safe to be in a machine shop cutting chips in a skirt and high heals. Lol!
