Hello,
I have an E30-ish car, a BMW Z1. I'm seeking some options for restoring what used to work nicely. I bought the car without the factory radio, it came with some Sony Flashy radio that I simply didn't think went with the car.
So, I bought a KE-83, and added the CD changer in the trunk. For several years, all was well. One of the LED faded in the display, no biggie. The CD changer died, and recently I came across an old cassette mix, and wanted to play it for nostalgia, and of course, now, it won't load cassettes.
So.... I want to take a stab at repairing this before I abandon it and go with the bigger upgrade CM5908 with BT and all that. There is a part of me that prefers the Pioneer units look, and perhaps the flexibility to run a cassette for old times sake.
I'm sure someone has played with these. The repair kit on ebay with belt for cassette drive, as well as two O rings.... could those O rings be the reason this won't load a cassette? Or is there a more common problem?
Source for LED or bulb I need to fix the display?
Anyone send out the Pioneer Changer for repair and happy with service?
Any advice appreciated.
