'93 Cobra CD option

[CO9B3RA]

Does anyone know where a person can find a working '93 CD? Am wanting to
add this option to my #629 which, at present, has the AM/FM cassete.
I'll try anything but ebay. Thanks!

Sorry but the 2 I have bought come off Ebay

Speaking of CD players, does anyone know why mine makes a loud clicking noise when i first put a cd in it.

Basically the CD players are junk. I've had several and they all do something funny, two of mine if there isn't a cd in the slot it will ocasionally search for a cd, and switch back from radio to cd, if there is a cd in it it is fine.

Yeah, that's what all of the '93 CD players I have had did too. I always kept a not so important CD in the slot so it would not shuffle back and forth.

A few months ago on ebay I saw a couple of perfect '93CD players bring $500 each. I came very close to pulling mine out of my two low mileage cobras and putting them up on ebay.

I've been hunting ebay for a while for one as well. So Brandon/Lee - got any used ones you want to get rid of?

Daryl - yeah, I saw those OEM NOS CD's going for big money as well. I want a used one, myself. Just like the factory unit, and play an occasional CD...

Richard, I found a couple at the local salvage yard here they aren't out of a Cobra but they will work for our application, they just don't have the bracket on the bottom for the little storage hole under the radio, but you can make it work with some double sided tape. I think they had 2 or so let me know if you want me to get one for you. Later

What year Mustang are you finding the CD player? Other than the bracket,
this is just a plug-in, electrically speaking? Maybe, with the right year, I could find something here in Az. :coolman:

i happened to save one out of a 95 ford truck, the trim around the faceplate is a little thicker but everything else is the same. My car had cd player that had issues so i took the face off of it and put it on the good one....

If you are not worried about the bracket for the cubby hole then you can get one out of a 93 Mustang (of course), 93-97 Probe, 93-96 F150 PU, 93-96 Taurus, 93-97 Contour, 93-97 Ranger/Explorer and the Mercury/Lincoln products of the same vintage. They all have the same face plate and the same hook up i.e. 1 long plug for power, 1 small metal plug that sends the signal to the amp. for the speakers, and 1 antenna plug.

yep. that's what I did. Bought one off ebay for $125 5 years ago. It lasted until August of 03. Then I upgraded everything and added a little bump in the trunk :thumbsup:

Removed the spare tire and built a custom fiberglass box to put one MTX 12" sub. I be jamming now :coolman:

Lee, can you post a pic of your trunk? I've been wanting to do the same thing.

Me wonders how that will get you around curves quicker? :lol:

Great!

I like to take road trips and you can't hear the stock radio very well with the windows down on the Interstate. Dang, I just forgot. I'm about to have a kid! Can (or should) a kid ride in the back seat with the windows down? My First Child owners manual is in the mail. :kaboom:

My buddy gave me the one out of his 98 svt contour, and its worked great for two years...the volume up/down is a bit worn, and it doesn't have a clock, but the only thing i had to do was take or top or bottom panel and swap it with the one from the cassette player to make it fit. hey, do guys know if the faceplate for sale on ebay occasionally would work on this??(speaking of worn buttons!!) thanks.

 

[93cobra#3326]

is it possible to replace the display glass on these?
mine does that stupid searching for the cd when not installed thing too

 

[cobra0393]

Can the CD players be repaired.

 

[Speedfreek]

Yes you can put a new faceplate on them. They are on Ebay every now and then.
