The replacement head units for cars of "our" vintage have a mode
switch, but unfortunately it does not affect CD operation (later
years do). The oem CD controller box has a slider-switch that selects
between two rf modulation frequencies --88.3/88.7 Someone recently
reported that their CD no-sound problem was caused simply by that
switch accidentally being in a "neutral" position.

Is that the way it comes from the factory? After 12 years or so, that
may no longer be the case. I happen to use preset #4 for CD.
