    They're a pain to take apart with little to no payoff if you are scrapping them.

    Tater-
    I just scrapped a Sunfire not to long ago. In it was a JVC CD Player. Probably a 10 year old model. I sold it for $20 bucks, which was far better than the $1 or so I'd get if it went into the trunk for weight. Aftermarket ones will sell on CL. OEM's.. Not sure yet. I have a BMW radio up there on CL right now and after a week- no nibbles. So If it doesn't sell, it'll become scrap car fodder as well! Good Luck.

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    I used to pick up a fair few car radios and everyone had a pretty nice Alu heat sink at the back. Four or five easy screws to remove

    I picked up a CarCraft magazine from 1974 in a box of random mags at a garage sale. The only reason I kept it was because of the ad for Craig's latest 'n greatest hi-tech 8-track player. MSRP of only $459! In 1974 dollars! Was a "holee cow!" moment for me.

    oem radios do well in resale if there in good shape, look up the part numbers in ebay completed listings to see what they are worth, if you dont want to ebay them sell them to a salvage yard

    Looking at the cd players in a purely escrap light there isn't much aside from the heatsinks and a little bit of copper wire. Some laser diodes are gold plated, but a little hard to get. The stereos with the quick removable face plates do have gold connectors from faceplate to body.

    Even a bottom line pioneer from 1997 ? Doubt anyone would pay much if any when you can buy a new one for under 100$

    Tater: I got an update for you. On that BMW 325E Radio-- from 1987- TAPE Deck.. I have on CL.. Guy says "Your a bit high on price" Offered me $30 on my $75 Ask.. Figure $30 is better than a kick in the slats.. Supposed to be picking it up Tues Night. Sold on CL.. if it helps you any.
