Factory 6 Disc Head Unit value?

[rustinh1]

How much do you guys think my factory changer would be worth? I'm looking at the AVIC-D3 from Pioneer and I have been since I picked the truck up in November. I think I'm ready to bite the bullet on it, but I was hoping I could recoup some of the cost from my stock head unit.

TIA,
Rusty

if you can get 50 or 100 bucks for it you should JUMP ON IT !

Theres a MILLION OE radios available if ebay werent enough,
consider EVERY car audio shop around has 'em stacked in the
corners collecting dust in their shops.

You think the 6 disc in dash changer is only worth 50 or 100 bucks? Wow, ok I'll probably just keep it for that much. If I ever trade it in, I don't want to give them the Navi head unit.

unfortunately yeah...i thought i was gonna sell mine too (also the 6disc)
until i saw all the listings on ebay.

hell the head unit is worth so LITTLE even crack head thieves who break
into our trucks dont want it 'em <ultimate proof its worthless>

I always keep my OEM unit so I don't have to find a new one when it comes time to sell the truck. If you put a few hundred $ or more into aftermarket you don't want to give that away when you sell/trade in your truck.

ok dont mean to beat the dead horse...

out of curiousity i checked crutchfield.com...
i discovered there were almost 80 available aftermarket
cd players that fit our truck...UNDER 199. bucks !

there were almost 40 choices UNDER 100 BUCKS !

Now that I'm home, I checked eBay as well.

I'm going with the Avic-D3 in order to maintain steering wheel controls, not to mention touchscreen navi, backup camera input, dvd player, etc.

But, I'll keep my OEM head unit to reinstall when it comes time to sell or trade this truck off.

Thanks everyone,
Rusty

you can use your steering wheel controls w/ ANY after market
head unit, the only REAL requirement is that the aftermarket unit
needs to have a IR Remote.

Rustin,doesn't the Ford 2008 CD changer units play MP3 discs? If they do they'd be tagging at $200+
