so my cd player pulled a check disk error, and i brought it to the dealer. They said they will replace it under warranty, but it will take 3 weeks. for the time, i would have no audio or climate control. im hesitating until a time when i dont need to use the car, but JW- did it take that long for them to replace it for anyone else? i thought it should just be a couple hour switch out.

 

I had this replaced 3 times~! and it takes them 3-5 weeks! ! ! They don't even give you a new one, they're always refurbs

 

When mine went on my 05. The Dealer ordered a replacement unit. When it came in, they replaced it in an hour or two. I had to wait a couple months to get my cds back that were jammed in the old unit though.

 

Have them order the new HU and take the car in when it arrives. You just won't be able to listen to CDs during that time.

 

they said that i couldnt do that my only choice was to send out the cd changer part, and then have no heat/music.

 

sucks.. but it happens. the cd changer craps out all the time.

 

Wow !!! I have never heard of them doing that. Certainly not treating the customer very well. Usually it is a one day deal.

 

update- i talked to consumer affairs for something else and mentioned it, and the dealer called me 5 days later and said the new HU was in and ready to be installed.

 

my luck. the new unit came in and was installed, and doesnt hold the EQ settings. so theyre changing it again while its in.

 

my dealer said that i had to pay 500 to replace my HU. how did you guys get your dealer to give you a refurb one?!!

 

covered under warranty

 

So my cd player crapped out on me as well. Im not under warranty. What do i doooooo?

:-(

 

go to the almighty aftermarket. much cheaper option

 

ya i was thinking of putting together a carputer. that would be a fun project if i had money

 

there's some double din car-puters that aren't that badly priced just a matter of finding them. Saw one at the Canadian International Auto Show yesterday, didn't look too bad. didn't play with it though.
