⚠️ Symptoms of a Faulty Head Unit

  • No power / intermittent power (internal fault, wiring, or poor ground)
  • Weak or noisy reception, only some bands working
  • Audio cutting out, distorted output, balance/fader issues
  • Cassette won’t load/eject, chews tape, or Auto Replay not functioning

💎 Why choose an original-brand used part vs cheap copies?

  • Correct fit & feel for classic dashboards—less trimming/adapting when matched correctly
  • Better long-term value than low-grade replicas
  • Save big vs buying new—used parts can often be substantially cheaper (sometimes up to ~70% depending on part/category)

  • Socket set (commonly 7–10mm)
  • Radio removal keys (if your car uses them)
  • Electrical tape / heat shrink
  • Crimp tool or soldering kit (if adapting wiring)
  • Multimeter (recommended for power/ground checks)

Step-by-step (typical)
