REPAIRS
In Dash 6 Disc Changer
Some of the problems that we have
repaired are:
- Not switching to CD Changer when you press
the CD button
- Won't eject, load, or play CD's - what
to do to get my cd's out?
- Loud clicking each time you start the
vehicle
- Loads then says error and ejects the cd
- I used a cd with a label or sticker on it
(from library, church, or other) now jammed
- Coins and other stuff put in cd changer
- Error Codes
- Skipping or Pausing of CD being played
- Other problems (E-mail us with specifics)
Easy steps for the repair.
-
You have many options with something that isn't working
properly. The first step is to understand why you would want to repair instead
of replace the unit. See "Why is repairing a good
option"
-
Verify where the problem is and what needs to be repaired.
Many times this is obvious (like on cd players that skip) but sometimes not
so clear like sound that comes and goes (is it speaker, the amp, or stereo).
Email
a tech if you need help with figuring out where the problem is.
-
Review our estimate info here.
-
Remove it or have someone remove it for you.
-
Print off the Send in form to enclose with the
changer (all info needed is on the form, address, email, etc.)
-
Wrap it good with some bubble-wrap to protect.
-
All the carriers deliver here (UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc.) Allow under 1 week for
the repair, we'll contact you if need a few days longer for parts ordering.
-
Note: We will return everything that is sent in whether it's
cd's or brackets, all will be kept together.
Here are general removal tips, specific tips are linked from the vehicles model
page when available.
OEM Stereos do not require removing the knobs or faceplates as
they did decades ago. They generally come out to the front as a complete stereo.
The brackets that hold them in are usually just hidden by the dash trim that
surrounds it. These panels generally have a couple well hidden screws holding
them and then they usually will unsnap off, carefully. Once the stereo is out
away from the dash you will see the connectors have a tab type lock to squeeze
and release to unplug them.
CRV Stereo Removal Tips
2002-2006
Remove two trim screws from below trip lip under two center vents near airbag
off light. Carefully pop trim piece off. There are six or eight retaining clips
which should fairly easily release if you start from the lip where the two
screws were removed. Unplug airbag off light.

Honda CRV 03
These are pretty easy to remove. Under the stereo are 2 screws
that hold the plastic dash piece that goes around the stereo. Once removed, then
the dash portion will just snap off. Then you will see the 4 screws that hold
the stereo brackets in.
(1999 CRV CD)
Honda CRV 98
Does it’s trim piece just snap off? NO
It doesn’t even just snap off after you remove
silver 5/16” bolts – one from each side. You need to pry & push it out
from the rear of the radio in order to not smash up the edge of the dash around
the trim piece.
The glove box and the compartment below the radio
have to come out in order to see & get to the side silver screws.
When it comes forward, you
can disconnect the AC controls (2 plugs) so it will all come out and you
can remove the radio from this assembly by taking out the 2 bolts on each side
that hold it in the bracket.
Standard Transmission
The cloth that comes up on the shifter will unsnap off the
shifter handle. Squeeze it at the bottom edge of the shifter handle and it will
pull down and off the shifter handle. Then the piece that holds the shifter
cloth will need to come up and off, start by removing the plastic push pins
towards the front on each side and there are 4 screws that hold it down (2 on
each side and 2 on front edge under drawer that pulls open. Looking under there,
there is 4 more screws that hold the drawer in from under it. Also by the key,
that unsnaps there and there a screw at the bottom of the panel – left side of
the stereo.
The glove box has to come down, it’s catches inside
on edge will pop out and allow this. Then with that whole assembly loosened, it
will come out of the way, you have to unplug the 2 connectors in there. Then the
2 silver bolts on sides of stereo. And push out the stereo from below and
behind.

Comments: Thanks so much for doing such a
great job on the repair of the CD portion of my in dash 2003 Honda CRV 6 Changer
and for packing up the CDs that were stuck in it so nicely.

| I want to let you know about an email that we
received here recently. It was from a customer of ours that was
asking a question about his current vehicle but in the email he mentioned
a repair that we had done for him previously. Here is his recent question
-
"1997","Jaguar","XL6L","4
Door","Factory Stereo ","The factory stereo has static
noise occasionally in the rear speakers. Volume control has no effect on
this noise when present. Do you work on these units? If so, please provide
an estimate. By the way, you guys fixed a Bose in another vehicle for me
some years back and it worked great ever since! Thanks.
Many times we don't get much feedback after a
customer receives their repaired unit back and they are happy. Another
thing that happens when a person is deciding whether to repair or replace
the unit is a person will ask us "How long after the repair before I
have problems again? or How long will the repair last? That is a hard
question for us to answer. I can be sure that it works after the repair
but I don't know for how long. Hopefully for a very long time and we will
warranty it for 1 year, and even be helpful to you after that.
Back to this recent email, I went back and looked at
the previous job that was done for this customer and saw that it was done
7 years ago. We aren't often privy of this kind of long-term feedback. Daryl Willman |
| WOW!!!
Thanks for being so quick. You are a very respectable business and that is hard
to find these days - especially over the internet. Please know that if we
ever need service for our other car's stereo, you will be the first we look to.
Sincerely, Maria Illinois 1994 BMW 740i 6 Disc Changer |
| "When
Willman's Electronics sent me a new changer for my 93 Acura Legend, it was
simple to install. I ordered it by phone and received it in about 5 days.
They set it all up so all I had to do was plug it in, then screw it down.
Took about 10 minutes. It is great! Works perfectly with my factory
stereo" Thanks!" Tom G. Dayton, Ohio |
| Everybody's had that "too good to be true" notion about offers,
deals and "come-ons," especially on the internet.
Well...Willman's is most assuredly NOT too good to be true; they are true
and they are good. I was impressed from start to finish when I entrusted
my 10-year-old factory-installed automobile CD Changer to their care to
diagnose and remedy, following 3 years of non-use because I couldn't find
anyone to repair it within reasonable cost, and with such ease and
dispatch. I found the answer in Willman's. I e-mailed and spoke personally
to Daryl Willman on several occasions, who made himself available for
consultation and step-by-step progress. The fixed-price estimate is rarely
seen these days, and pre-approval for over-runs provides customer control
at every stage. I will not hesitate to recommend Willman's to anyone
requiring expert analysis and service.
Thank you!! Chris Pensacola, FL 1992

First off I'd like to thank you and the great people at Willman's Electronics
for the superb customer service and help dealing with my problem. I was
greatly impressed that you spent the time to check out my unit and not charge
me labor, for which I would have expected to pay. Having pulled the unit and
now replacing it back in the car, I can say that it shouldn't take more that
half an hour to pull or replace the radio.
You were right that there was nothing wrong with the unit, the
problem was a 15 amp fuse in slot 22 of the fuse box next to the steering
column. I know I checked all the fuses once before, but somehow missed that one.
Again your great service is appreciated.
Regards, Will 95 Nissan Maxima Wisconsin

Thank you for the prompt email
reply and the great information. My stereo is on the way to you via UPS. I will
give you the tracking number if you need it. Please let me know when it arrives
and what you find out about what is wrong with it. If you need any information
at all just email me and I will get back to you very quickly. By the way I had
emailed over a dozen other online repair shops and choose you because you
sounded the most honest of them all. Thanks, Mark
Thank you for the great service, the unit works
just like new. I really appreciate your excellent work and very reasonable rate.
You are top notch and if there is anyone that I know in need of your service I
will definitely recommend your service to him or her. Thanks, Mark |
I just wanted to thank you for
the great service. The quality and speed of your work is impressive.

Maxima Bose' Speaker Amp Rebuild

Received my rebuilt Bose speakers. Wow! What a difference. Can't
say enough about your service. It's great to finally have great sound in my auto
again. Didn't know how bad my speakers were until I installed the rebuilt ones.
Thanks Again!! Butch Franklin, TN |

Subject: 1990 Acura Legend Bose Speakers
Problem: All 4 amplifiers, which are attached to each speaker were bad.
The dealerships prices for 4 new ones was over $700.00. Willman's repaired mine
and the total repair and shipping time was less than 2 weeks.
Removal Tips: The web site instructions for removal and replacement are
right on. I got them back today at 5PM and at 7PM they were reinstalled and
sounding great.
Comments: All the reasons for repairing, as listed at this site, are right
on target for me. I don't want an after market system; after all I paid a
premium to get this one when I bought the car!

Vehicle: 1990 Honda Accord
Comments: Hi: I read the
instructions for replacing the Honda power antenna. Very helpful. In my case, it
was easy since I only had to turn the radio on and off to feed in the new
antenna. Thanks for the tip!

Comments: I was really concerned about sending my stereo away to
someone I found on the internet. I figured, though, that with all the detail on
their website, Willman's couldn't be a total fraud. I sent an email with a
question and got a response the next day. Willman's did everything they claimed they would,
and it was a pleasant experience all the way! My stereo is re-installed and
working great. I'm giving Willman's name and URL to my local dealer to pass
on. DuWayne Longmont,
