    1. The audio unit (Audio H/U) - radio, where is it located and what is the cost of a new unit?
    2. Where can it be repaired besides the dealer - Best Buy?
    3. Where can a used replacement be purchased?
    4. Are the CD unit and radio seperate?

    the HU is the thing with the cd player. I dont think bestbuy can repair it. They could install a new one. If you are getting a new one put in you might as well upgrade to something better.

    If yours is broken then just install and aftermarket stereo in the little pocket below the factory stereo. :)

    So, leave the old radio and cd player in the car and install a new radio c/d player below in the pocket?

    Yup, like this:

    To clarify: The CD player and Radio are the same unit. It does not need to be removed from the car to install a new unit as long as you go with the stealth method. Any competent car audio shop can do this install.
