[MSCW list] CD Player Repair/Replacement

[jerrymenchhoff at jamesbimen.com]

I am trying to post to the mail list. If I am doing it wrong, I apologize but plead newbie status.

I have a 2006 Miata and the CD player seems to have failed. I successfully removed the radio/CD player from the car but don't know how to proceed from there. Is it possible to simply replace the CD components within the big medal box or do you have to replace the whole thing? In either case, any suggestions on where to get the components (aside from the dealer)? While I have everything torn apart, I am considering adding in satellite radio. Does anybody have any knowledge of what is required? Thanks in advance for any help.
