Yesterday i turned of my stereo in my truck and it wouldn't play the CD I just got an ERROR so i ejected it and tried again and it tried to play but then said ERROR again. It keeps doing this with every CD i put in it. Sometimes it works fine and sometimes it wont play.

The head unit came with the truck when I bought it and I think its pretty old. Im guessing its time for a new one.

Is there anything I can do to fix this or should i just go ahead and buy a new one?

I was looking in my Crutchfield catalog and saw a Kenwood KDC-138 for $79.99 and looks pretty good. Does Kenwood make good head units? Anything else I should look into for under $90?
