Default So Cal Radio Repair

I have a 01 IS300 and it seems like a common problem on these cars is for the radio to take a dump. Not really interested in getting an aftermarket radio as i don't like the way it looks in the center console, so just looking for a place to repair the OEM radio. Was wondering if anyone knew of a place that does this or if anyone with a 1st gen IS300 has gone to a place to repair their OEM radio that they would recommend.

Thanks!

its much cheaper to just replace with a used unit. Im sure if you called a few junkyards you can easily find your radio.

Yeah, getting a used one is probably cheaper than getting it repaired.

no warranty on getting a used one though and couldn't find any one's with functioning CD players that weren't asking for mucho money.

If i could find one for <$100 i'd get that, just thought about doing radio repair because it comes with a warranty in case that ish breaks again
