Car Radio recommendation

[RRSS128]

My car radio volumn control button has gone haywire, instead of turning down, it increase the volumn.

Thinking of replacing as the car is 6yo. Any recommendations for a reasonable shop selling and installing for around $500?

You can check with any audio shop. Make sure they have replaceable units without need to cut or customize etc.

Its a dial, when I turn towards low volume it gets louder instead.

Radio is 6yo liao, not sure if its better to replace. Now COE so high, don't think will change car, so maybe just change a new unit imstead of repair.

Replace is fine, but HU is not straightforward these days, given the amount of electronics and wiring. Some have dedicated size/designs, so you want to replace also need to be sure the new one can fit & they have ways to close up the missing parts/areas etc. Change car is easy way out.

I believe is at least 2-din. Nowadays cars all 2-din. The only worry is the size fit and the car design able to easily take back a 2-din unit.

No leh, sometimes turn volume goes up suddenly, sometimes no volume. Very frustrating.

Have time, drive to JB. Replace whole HU to Andriod type. Won't cost you more than SGD$300, for the basic model.
SG workshop price almost all cut throat. Don't be the carrot.

Just drive to audio shop in SG. Meet you budget, let them fix it. Above your budget, move on to another audio shop. Don't need headache. Just pay only.

See how much above budget also, no point drive east to west if it's $20 more only. Sometimes pennywise, pound foolish. Time = money. Chop chop do and forget it.
