2005 VUE CD Player

The CD player in my 2005 VUE doesn't work. Radio is otherwise fine. Would you:

1) Take it to a Saturn dealer to repair?

2) Go to a car stereo place and get the whole thing replaced?

3) Just live with it, since my last car only had cassette anyway?

4) Other

Note, I'm not an audiophile, but I do have a lot of music on CD and was hoping to use it when I do longer drives.

I'd go for option #2 and get exactly what you want.

Ditto "PerfectReign". The Saturn dealer does not have the technical expertise to "repair" the radio. They will just drop in a new radio and charge you $900. So your choice #2 makes the most sense....unless you have time to search some auto scrap yards for a wrecked Vue.

BTW does your Vue have a lot of body squeeks and rattles?

I'd go with 4.

Get a MP3 player and a control interface like this

I'm no fan of Ipods so what ever works with the MP3 player you choose. CD's are pretty much obsolete now. Only good for making fresh rips.

There are aftermarket connectors which allow On* to work with aftermarket radios.

I have one on my Avalanche for my Kenwood unit.

Here's almost the same model Kenwood in a Vue. I plan to put on in my wife's Vue sometime this year.

A bit of a rattle up front, no squeaks.

Thanks everyone for the input!
