'97 (1997) mustang Car Stereo Help?


Question Posted Tuesday February 26 2008, 12:54 am

ok i drive a '97 mustang. the console in my car basically looks like this [[ [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ]] where the cd unit & radio are separate. i got the radio/cassette thingy taken out and a new in-dash CD deck put in it's spot at Best Buy, but they left the car's actual cd player in at the bottom. i want to get that taken out and just have a little compartment put in so i can put my phone or CDs or whatever in there. does anyone know around how much this would cost and where i could get it done at? Best Buy charged me over $75 to get my cd player installed so im kind of afraid to go back there ha. any ideas ?

Hello there,

Any car audio shop should be able to do this. It is a very simple operation, an probably wouldn't have cost you a thing if you told the installer he could keep the factory CD player in question.

Now that that is done and over, I would simply call best buy and ask them why they didn't finish the job they started.

If you asked them to remove the factory sound system, then they only did half the job. A "half-DIN" (the size of that space) empt compartment would probably cost you between $15 and $25 plus installation if you went elsewhere.

I would show up and best buy, and tell them a guy you, know who used to own his own car audio business, wanted to know why they only did half the job?

If they say "why doesn't he do it?" tell them he now lives on the other side of the country.

This shouldn't be a big deal.

Side note: $75 for an install is not the least bit out of line if it was done professionally. I would have charged you twice that. ;-)
