[s-cars] S6 Radio problem

[Lee Levitt]

I'd replace it with a Concert radio and a PhatBox. I picked up a *new*
Concert on Ebay for $150 and the PhatBox runs around $200 for the unit and
the proper cable.

The PhatBox replaces your CD changer and gives you 20GB of music storage
(300 or so CDs at your fingertips...)
