WTF !!

Got a JVC unit I got a few years back .. took the stock radio out ... looking at the entire assembly .. and woohoo ... wires are different colors ... and yes I even got a harness adapter ... *shrugs* geeze just aint my day I guess

 

I went to Kragen ... got myself another harness adapter ./. GUESS WHAT ?? .. Both packages . .the one bought today.. and the one I bought a while back have the same part number./.. SOMEONE had put the wrong one into the package I had originally bought (which was before I had looked at the wiring) ... AAAAARRRGGHHH !!!

Anyway .. guys.. this is not the end .... played with the installing process.. .ended up REUSING the old brackets ... and still not even any nice flush mounting inside ... and well... this I guess I'll have to fix though... it's a matter of it sticking out too much.... can't mount it really... the CD player hits something in the back



And now .. to end this ....THE CD PLAYER WILL NOT.. I REPEAT.. WILL NOT .. PLAY ANY CD'S !!!!!!

Yes I tried regular CD's ... the CD/DVD combo's .. and MP3 CD's ... hell it even ejects the CLEANING CD !!!!!


It's a **********blip***censored**blip**** JVC deck !

Radio and everything works just fine.... but the CD player does NOT work



So .. I wasted a lot of time ... could have installed the steering wheel.. and finished my TBI .... GRRRRR !!!!

 

that Siera Uniform Charlie Kilo, sucks

i know those letters too

 

wouldn't it be easier just to say the actual letters? I never understood all those anti-abbreviations....

 

Whiskey Hotel Alpha Tango? Yankee Oscar Uniform ---- Delta Oscar November Tango ---- Uniform November Delta Echo Romeo Sierra Tango Alpha November Delta ---- India Tango???



lol.
if you say them out loud, you'll realize that each word has a unique sound to it... so if you're doing radio commucations, theres less chance for error.

and if you're thinking " Oscar Mike Golf Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!? did he type all that?!" .... no... back in my freshman year of high school, i made this page: text converter pages

works OK for little stuff... obviously it can become long, quick.

 

Guys *lol* back to original topic


Anyone had this happened with a JVC or any other CD player ?? Buying a new CD player is not in my plans right now

 

It needs to be fix, sorry...

 

How much would that cost though ? And where can I get it fixed ?

Wife here got the crazy idea it won't cost much at all *smirk*

 

if it costs more than $50... WHICH IT WILL ... it wouldn't be (read: ISN'T) worth getting fixed...

a several-year-old JVC deck is probably not worth it's weight in metal.

maybe cruise out to Wal-Mart and see what they have for under $100? that's my suggestion.

 

Called an authorized JVC repair place .. they said .. "90 or less" ... when I STARTED to tell them (read started because I got interupted right away) they said once again.,.,.. "90 dollars or less"



Can someone send a damn sledgehammer this way so I can beat some sense into my wife's head since she believes a place like that will be so wonderful and just maybe charge me 50


Geeze.. it's like this ... you give them the player... they repair .. and AFTER that they will charge you...

 

And .. wife has a Pioneer DEH-P6400 .. with the nice blue animations ... but she prefers to keep it in her non-running SAAB (which I won't fix right now since the alternator is 250-330 dollars)


So ... maybe I should buy an identical one *smirk* a DEH-P6400


What would you guys recommend ? I would really like to have the blue animated background lol .. it would go VERY well with my paint (teal metallic .. like.. aqua) . .and blue LED switches inside (pretty soon)


Also ... planning on getting one on Ebay ... any good sources you guys would recommend ?


My other option would be .. the mexican swap meets here

 

You lose the warranty if you buy it off ebay

I'm sure people will chime in how they hate them, but get the $40 4-yr replacement plan from Bestbuy... if you use your deck a lot, it will definitely come in handy... my decks only last about a year for some reason, even though I never touch them once they're installed... I don't even tweak the amps... just bad luck...

 

ok ... thanks for letting me know about the warranty
