Stock cd worth fixing?

I'm getting a pe0 error on the cd (misaligned laser). It will cost around 150 to repair which is more than the price of an aftermarket. Is it worthwhile to keep the cd/security... stock for resale value?

just go look at a pioneer or alpline dvd player cd combo for like 1400 bucks......that'll put ya in perspective.....just keep your stock, b/c youll buy a cheap-o CD player for 100 bucks, and pay someone 40-75 to install and now you got cut and spliced wires so the next time you gotta replace your broked CD player someone's gotta deal with the mess again

If you want a stock '97 Acura/Bose CD Player, I have one for sale. $50 + $10 shipping.

It comes with the security code card.

Let me know.

ummm for 150.00 you could get a real good cd player for that price, and what do u mean spliced wires?? you can buy a wire harness for less than 5 bucks, if your cd player does break you can easily go back to stock.

7 of the 11 wires going to my amp have been cut, presumably to make the aftermarket HU work. Now I don't know how to reconnect the cut wires.

If you want to still look stock, go with one of these:


Whatever you do, forget spending any money on the stock radio.
