Subject: Re: clarion CD unit for 1991 900S


I have a 1991 9000 that likely has the same radio (equalizer only, no CD player in the lower DIN slot). When I bought the car in 1997, I started looking to replace the equalizer with a CD player. None were to be found at that time. Last year, the tape player in the radio broke. I contacted Clarion (www.clarion.com, but it used to be www.clarionmultimedia.com) who said that parts were no longer available and that it could not be repaired. A web site for an independent repair facility (http://www.carstereohelp.com) quoted a repair price between $125 - $165. So I bought a Blaupunkt MiniDisc player with an in-dash 5 CD changer. Total price: about $350 and I have exactly what I want. I think the Clarion CD unit alone was priced higher than that when I checked. Unfortunately, the Blaupunkt components I bought seem to be discontinued, but I'm sure you can put together a system with pieces from another brand. I recommend checking Crutchfield www.crutchfield.com. If you buy the radio from them, they will include a connector that will plug directly into the radio wiring harness so you don't have to cut any wires.
