Pennies in the CD Player -- Don't have twins...
Several months ago one of my 2-yr-olds
put some change in the CD player. I caught her after the 2nd or 3rd coin I think -- it only takes a few seconds of attending to the other one and stuff happens... Anyway, it now either does nothing or shows Err on the screen. Radio works of course. Given that there was a little smoke/short when she first did it, do you think it's worth taking the radio out? Any guestimates on how long it takes to do it? Thanks!

It only takes about 3 minutes to remove the stock head unit after you've done it a few times. First time it might take you 10 or 15 to find all the screws holding it and the center console in/together.

I've got a 3 year old and pennies in my home stereo, & rocks in my VCR & my acoustic guitar.
He also open a dozen eggs & a bottle of parmesan cheese into a pitcher of koolaid yesterday. And last week he covered the house in flour.
You gotta love it.

Thanks, I'll check out one of those places for sure. It was a stereo place that told me everything had to be rewired, either the guy I talked to was new or they were trying to hose me....either way thanks for the heads up.

I recommend you try and just slide the pennies out of the cd player before you get a new one. Just take it out and tip it so that gravity might take care of the pennies if your lucky.
Although you should probably just replace the stock h/u, it'll add 5 years to your life. True story.

Haha im guessing smoke and a short = dead HU. If its a Bose that sucks because replacment is much more in depth and requires a special harness so you can still use your bose speakers. Taking the whole unit out will take about an hour perhaps a little less if you dont run into snags Oh and when your taking it out, the ashtray needs to be OUT in order to remove it... i fought it for a while until i figured that one out.
If you dont have a Bose, run to bestbuy and have them install it for free + harnesses and plate.
