As the title says someone broke into my car mid-last week. They broke out both passenger side windows and unsuccesfully tried to steal my stereo. So right now I'm getting the windows fixed and I have a broken dash and head unit.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my dash back into shape? They pried on it pretty good and the whole center concole looks bent. The main trim peice is cracked in a few places with a peice missing across the bottom and then the pocket below the cd player and its door are completely smashed. As for the cd player, I have/had(depending on how you look at it) a Kenwood KDC-519, and I would like to find a service manual for it. I'm pretty good with electronics and think I may be able to at least get it to where it can use the radio. Anyone know where I could find a service manual. I found a few sites where I could buy one but just seeing if anyone knew of a free or cheaper place to get them. Thanks for any help you guys can offer. |

Low life basturds
 The windows will be easily to replace. The quarter panel window will be abit of a pain and could be tricky and messy. Try looking out in the buying/selling section for anyone parting out their car. It seem pretty badly damaged from the description you gave. For the CD player it might not be worth the time to fix, see if you can get another one. They are pretty cheap nowaday. Definiately look into an alarm system. Good luck

Yeah Im looking to get a alarm now that this has happened. I'm going to look into getting a new cd player but Ive been out of it for so long I dont even know what the new standards are.

I've had good experiences with a lot of Alpine head units. They have models to fit your budget. www.crutchfield.com has a lot of good information. Their prices aren't always the cheapest, but their service and installation help rock.

The standard now is for the CD player to read mp3s.
I've got one in my car. I dont change CDs as much as I uses too. -------------------- 98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |
