Default Where to buy a HU803

My Cd player has just died on me. At first I thought there was a CD stiuck in it but I have removed the unit and taken all CD's out. It goes through the motions of attempting to play a track despite there is no CD in the player. It then goes to a CD Error message. I can not load any disc's into it either. Does anyone know the best/cheapest place to buy a replacement head unit. It is for a 02 S60 and is a HU 803 4 disc changer unit.

Thanks for the reply, but I have just managed to get a used unit from VolVoks for £105!

Thanks anyway

Aaarrrggh... Just fitted the replacement unit and it had the same fault despite it having a factory refurbishment sticker on it. Is there any chance it could be a wiring fault rather than a unit issue? The radio works fine but the unit will not load a CD and still attempts to play despite being empty, then a CD error appears. I will be returning the unit and asking for another just in case the replacement was faulty as well!

danrach...These units are computer controlled. you must first get an update to the systems computer in order for it to properly work. The only place to get a software update is at your volvo dealer. Trust me. I worked there once...Let me know how it comes out. If that doesnt give you any luck, you might wanna try LKQ auto parts (google it, theyre all over the US), and try another radio, but to the last of my remeberance all volvo models after 2001 required a software update in order to properly operate. They did away with the radio code feature, they had before, they software update is strictly an anti theft feature.
