I have an 04 TL (no navi) and the CD player suddenly stopped playing discs... radio still works fine.

The dealership told me that it would have to be replaced, and since I'm on extended warranty (acura plus) audio is not covered. price would be $1,200 for the new unit. So the sercive advisor suggested that I should just get an aftermarket one and suggested a place in Ottawa that does good, clean work.

I dont know how the dealer came to the conclusion that it must be changed since they didnt actually take the unit out...

After searching on this board, I noticed that most people do not recommend changing the headunit on the TL... but this is the piece that I was told needs to be replaced.

Its too bad the the trim has those 2 half moon cut outs for the volume/dial nobs, but I'm sure there's something that can be done to make an aftermarket unit look pretty good, right?

Any suggestions? I liked the pics I saw on here of an Alpine IVA-W200, but would a single DIN also look good ? something cheaper maybe... I don't really care about 5.1 since I only listen to CD's, but I want the stock sub to still be active.
