any good sources out there?

 

Ebay? Either that or it's time for a aftermarket upgrade.

 

there's one on ebay, waiting on a photo.
i love the 6CD changer in the console and the look of the OEM....or maybe i'm just resistent to change.

 

Ordered this one, seems like a good source for many parts

I've been having the same problem on the radio for my 2001 F150 off & on for a couple of years, much worse in cold weather, but when the radio would no longer recognize valid CD's I decided to 'retire' the OEM radio and go with a new aftermarket version. I will save the defective OEM radio for when I trade it in.

 

Second one started having issues. Instead of spending what is now hundred dollars at a salvage yard, I bought this. Pops right in and I'm able to use my iPhone via Bluetooth for music and also the wired microphone was a clean install for using hands-free phone.

After a few days with this, I wish I never waited. Bluetooth connection to my iPhone to play music, don't need CDs! Phone works great even on the highway.
