Where can I buy a new car stereo faceplate?

[Biggerhammer]

eBay has had them before- but not now. I posted in want it now.

Google finds 1.729 billion ads for the radio and none for the faceplate alone.

Alpine.com finds me a supplier that would sell them for a C note if they had any left.

Help! Commuting with no tunes sucks!

What happened to your original faceplate?

Ebay but faceplates are big bucks.

There is a site that sells just the faceplate. Forgot the name though. Good luck!

My Apline has a code between the face and the unit that need to match in order for it to work. Have you checked into seeing if this is the case for yours?

Last time I had to check into this, it was cheaper/easier to just buy a new unit.

ahurtt, I bought a car with no faceplate. The lady knocked $200 off the price for that, though, so no gripes here. I'd just like cheap tunes.

I'm starting to think that I'm going to have to go for a new stereo- which sucks 'cause I can pry $75 out of the budget for a faceplate but getting $150 for a whole unit is going to be harder.

Thank you all for the advice.

A headunit is useless without the original faceplate. They are designed this way to prevent people from stealing them.

Just buy a new deck.

um, faceplates tend to be well above $100. Just get a new deck, that way you won't have to worry about running into the possible problem with a security code between the base unit and the faceplate.
