I have an '06 TB w/ Bose 6 CD changer, radio works fine,
CD changer-not so good.
My local GM dealer quotes me $129 to reprogram with
no guarantee that will fix the problem. Well I'm not
inclined to dump $129 chasing rainbows for them to
say 'Sorry, still doesn't work'.
Anyways, my main question is stated in the title:
Do I need the 'donor' vehicles VIN# if I buy a
reconditioned stereo from e-bay?? I'm getting differing
opinions from various sources!!
My GM dealer says I need it, various resellers on e-bay
say I don't, some provide it & some don't------WTF!?!
I know I'll hafta get the replacement reprogrammed, but
I don't mind spending the $129 if I know the CD player
is going to work. (e-bay stereo has 90 day warranty)
