The GM factory installed Pioneer 12-Disc CD Player in my
2001 C5 locked up and would not even eject the carrier.The GM dealer wanted way too much money to pull it, ship it off for repair and reinstall.
I pulled the unit that was no bid deal (4-screws) and sent it to
United Radio Service, Inc.
5705 Enterprise Pkwy E Syracuse, NY 13057(800) 448-0944 (315) 446-5570
by FedEx Ground. They received it this morning called for a Visa and it will be returned today. The guy said it failed all tests and they just swapped the case and it comes with 1-year warranty.
The repair/replacement price is $195 including return shipment.
Keep this in mind if yours craps out.
