The only time I replaced a radio in my eight cars was when the stock one died in my first vehicle. I also bought new speakers, but discovered the old ones had come unplugged. The new stereo and original speakers worked well enough, but the CD player was an eBay special. It was quite possibly the least expensive one that I could find.

Guess how well that worked?

I do not believe that it remembered my radio presets if I turned off the engine. It appeared to have a graphic equalizer, but the whole thing went up and down with the volume, not specific ranges. CDs only skipped when the car moved.

Then someone stole it and my speakers. I thought it was hilarious. I am not sure how long I went without a radio, but the transmission went out, and I bought my first Accord.

I still have those replacement speakers in a box. Do you think they are worth anything?
