Default Fix radio or replace

My radio on the 2010 limited has a cd stuck in it. I called iron cross and was told not fixable without sending in. So I still hoping to get the cd removed or I will need to upgrade. I would like a plug and play system. I started looking around and now am confused. Life was simple when everything works

Replace it. The chance for long term usage before another failure isn't worth the cost Iron Cross will charge vs just getting a Aquatic or aftermarket cd player with a interface module. Not knowing the remainder of the system I assume it is all stock.

easy to pick up a used one that a member is selling. Aftermarket with an install kit is about 300.00

I'd go with Iron Cross repair.
They tweek the radio with upgrades.


Might lose the intercom feature with after-market radios.

These are your plug and play replacement options:

As you can see the high end can get a little expensive. definitely cheaper with Iron cross but as Slye stated the stock radio will continue to have issues and eventually fail. for my money I would go aftermarket and call it good.
