If it were me, I'd probably fabricate a block off plate for the radio (and paint it something like black so it looks like a radio delete plate) and hide the stereo. The original radio is really cool, but it always bothers me to see devices that aren't functional, installed. Another option would be to do a digital/modern conversion to that radio, or if you're looking for more modern functionality, either a hidden bluetooth amp, or the even smaller bluetooth receiver that is even easier to hide up in the dash, wired into your factory radio.
I agree 100%!! The radio doesn't work and needs reconditioning. I don't want to lose it again. I have a modern conversion for this radio (retro something like that), but I hated the look of it in place of the factory radio. The new one is bluetooth, usb etc., have to hide it! Thanks Mike
