Question
My system is OME AM/FM cassette single CD BOSE audio......the CD player will no longer accept a disc or eject.....I wish to replace the unit so I have a working CD player w/ AM/FM......are there easy less expensive aftermarket brands that will fit the existing wiring clips, or must I purchase an original or remanufactured unit that would be around $375.00?......I prefer a unit that will fit the same spot and wiring with no new modifications.......I have successfully removed the old unit without any problems......thank you ....Mike
