Wondering if anyone knew what could be wrong with my CD player('92 ssei)... it clicks when I put a cd in and try to take it out. Doesn't play the cds. Is it broke or a simple fix? :?

that is the transport mechanism beginning to fail.

Buddy at a stereo shop told me on my 95. Options are spend a 100+ to send out and fix or get a new HU (that plays cd and mp3'*)

Might as well just spend a little more and get an aftermarket one in that case.

I had the same problem with mine.. Just get an aftermarket unit. It'* not worth the money to replace the factory unit.

What 1993 means is it is easy. Consider your mounting kit... there'* a few posts recently showing standard black to backlit.

Wasy....lol

I normally start pulling that trim off from where it meets the gauges, either side of the steering wheel. I found that it was the easiest place to get a good grip. Then pull around the trim pannel going clockwise.
