DETAILS


Does your am/fm/cd6 radio have problems loading, ejecting and/or playing CDs?  Does it give CD error messages on the radio display?  Does it skip excessively?  If it exhibits any of these problems, fix it with this brand new CD6 mechanism from ReplacementRadios!!

This is a brand new 6 disc CD drive for select GM Delco radios. Even though it looks like the same drive used in various other applications (Ford, Nissan, Toyota, Audi, Hyundai, Honda, etc), this is the GM version and they are not usually interchangeable. You will need to pop the top case off your GM radio to verify yours has this drive because some of the radios were offered with a different, incompatible drive. If yours doesn't have two openings above the CD trays (kidney shaped, as pictured), it won't work for you. There was a version with one triangular shaped opening. (It is our item GM-E-8586C-1-2.) This is NOT compatible with that version! (Number stampings on top of the drive will vary, obviously.  Sometimes the size/shape of the green board varies a little too.  Both of these differences are acceptable.) There will be no returns accepted on this item for any reason other than functional defect.   Even then, only exchanges will be offered, not refunds, so please do your research BEFORE purchasing.

This drive might also appear identical to the mechanism used in the remote CD6 drive found in some vehicles.  (Mounted below the radio.)  However, we do not guarantee it for those applications either.  It is only intended for am/fm/cd6 radios that have a drive matching one of the picture in this ad.  Again, there will be no returns accepted for this item for any reason other than functional defect.   Even then, only exchanges will be offered, not refunds, so please do your research BEFORE purchasing.

There were several other versions of this drive in GM radios as well. They are not usually interchangeable. Yours MUST have a green board on the top (which you will transfer to this) and must have TWO kidney shaped openings on the top of the drive, just above the CD trays.  If your drive has one triangular opening above the trays, this isn't the right drive for you. (You need our item GM-E-8586C-1-2 instead.) If yours doesn't look virtually identical to the picture, it won't work for you. (Number stampings on top of the drive will vary, obviously. Sometimes the size/shape of the green board varies a little too. Both of these differences are acceptable.) Again, there will be no returns accepted for this item for any reason other than functional defect. Even then, only exchanges will be offered, not refunds, so please do your research BEFORE purchasing.

Installation is relatively easy but, if you're not mechanically inclined, you shouldn't be buying it.  Some basic install instructions appear in a special section below.  We provide these as a courtesy.  Please don't hold it against us if you find there are slight differences in your application.

There is a 6 month replacement warranty on this item. It covers functional defects only.



APPLICATIONS


Many 2002-2004 GM vehicles with am/fm/cd6 radios.  The most important thing is that your drive matches the picture shown here.  A few 2004 vehicles on the list were offered with different drives.  If your 2004 GM drive looks like this one, you can use it too.  Match your drive to the pictures because returns are not accepted if you've made a mistake.  ** Make sure to confirm this is the drive you have BEFORE ordering. Especially if you have a 2004 model vehicle. It is very easy to pop your top cover off. If yours doesn't look virtually identical to the picture, it won't work for you. (Number stampings on top of the drive will vary, obviously. Sometimes the size/shape of the green board varies a little too. Both of these differences are acceptable.)

In very rare instances, you may find that replacing the drive does not solve your problem.  Replacement of your radio might be your only option.  Please be aware that we have no control over this.  Nor do we have any way of predicting when this is going to happen.


Removal/Installation Instructions
Instructions are not included but installation is relatively easy.  However, if you're not mechanically inclined, you shouldn't be buying it.  Basically, you remove the face by prying it off.  Then you remove two 3/16 hex screws holding the drive in from the front and two more from the rear.  The drive can then be lifted out (carefully) and the ribbon cable pulled free of it.  If there is a bracket attached to the back of your drive and there isn't one on the drive you receive, you will need to swap it to the new one.

We provide these instructions as a courtesy.  Please don't hold it against us if you find there are slight differences in your application.

Do not attempt this repair with the radio still plugged in!  You must unplug it from the vehicle wiring harness and let it sit for at least 30 minutes prior to opening it up!
