jcollum Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Just bought an 01 IS300. It came with the stock stereo. Well I found out that the CD player doesn't work. Apparently no one (including the car inspector) checked it! The guy I bought it from says he never used it, only had the car for 4 months. Anyway, I'm considering just buying a stock stereo to replace it. Why? Because no one breaks in to steal a stock stereo. And I hate having to mess with removing a faceplate. I guess in an ideal world I'd have a car stereo with a USB input and just use my phone as a jukebox. But I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to make my car more attractive to thieves. My last car (90 Acura) had 3 stereos stolen out of it. If I want to buy a stock stereo where's a good place to start? Used would be great. I've heard that car stereos these days are much less likely to get stolen (read it on slate), is that accurate? If I do buy a new one, do I have to buy a double DIN?
