Replacement Faceplates - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

chiefslappajo · 02-10-2004, 09:18 PM

One of my friends recently got her car broken into, and the bastards took the faceplate to her Sony Xplod mp3 player

. The entire stereo is still there, just not the faceplate. Its not a current model, so Sony doesn't sell replacements. Anybody have any suggestions or websites that specialize in this sort of thing? (I've tried E-bay, and google wasn't very helpful). Thanks for any help, guys, I'm trying my best.

Buy a new deck. Mobile electronics companies make it about as expensive to buy a whole new deck as it would be for a replacement faceplate.

agreed....not worth it unless you found someone who got their deck stolen but not the faceplate.

Its mroe and more difficult to find faceplates. Lots of companies wont even sell them since you might be the person who steole the deck without the faceplate.

Gotta look online. There has to be some place that sells faceplates for older models.

I've looked everywhere, E-bay, google searches and TFP, I don't know where else to go.

No kidding? Bummer. I thought for sure.....

OK, i guess the secret it out then: I'm full of shit.

I think you're probably right, juju. If people are stealing them, they have to be unloading them somewhere, I just can't find any.

You can buy them direct from the manufacturer, but shipping will kill you
