Sony Head Unit needs service centre

[ajg31]

My Sony Hard Drive head unit is playing up again. Anyone know if there are such things as service centres anymore? Dont fancy spending 100's on new unit

Sony upgrade units (straight replacement - same connectors on eBay from £90 delivered).

AMG, sounds like a downgrade My headunit is the one with a built in 16 gig hard drive Small by todays standards but fine for what i want it for. It works flawlessly apart from its reluctance to read cd's 50% of the time! Always thought it would be the HDD failing first

Ah, apologies, didn't realise yours was a serious piece of kit already. Mine takes a USB stick so I can add up to 4Gb (with current stick technology) there but it also has an Aux-in that allows me to play music from my Nuvi 660 SatNav.

No worries. Might get a USB stick type myself as 4gig is easy to come by in flash drive, or use a nice 40-80-120 gig HDD. Pioneer do nice one, but £220. Will call a service centre today, but not too hopefull they can repair a 4yr old head unit!!! Looking at the 660 myself for the Le Mans trip, is it as good as the spec suggests?
