Toyota Camry: In-Dash 6 CD Player

Has anyone replaced their stock unit with an after-market upgrade? The CD
player in the unit in my 2000 Camry has become very temperamental...
sometimes it works perfectly, other times you can hear a scrapping noise as
the disk spins inside. I'd like to replace it with another stock unit. The
Toyota part number is 86120-08130 (am/fm radio, tape player, 6 CD in-dash
unit... the radio without the pocket underneath). If you have a working unit
you've replaced, let me know what you'd ask for it.

Thanks,

Does the Toyota 'stock' unit you're planning on purchasing play MP3 CDs?
If you get a unit that does play MP3s you won't need the 6-CD changer .
I purchased a Kenwood MPV7019 unit for under $250 (installed) that plays
MP3s. I then burned one CD with 180 of my favorite songs. No need for
any changers, it never ever skips, looks great and sounds even better.

Just curious, what does Toyota want for the unit you're considering?
Also, if your original stock unit is crapping out after only a few years
why are you buying another from the same place? Toyota know cars, not
stereos. Good luck.
