i have a working hu850 if you need one

The hu 850 is a good sounding system, why not plug in a yatour so you can play mp3 or similar audio files, and all of the steering controls work as before, you should have an amp unit under the drivers seat, i guess if you were going to 'upgrade' anything maybe you could just upgrade the amp and speakers, no idea if anyone has tried this approach .. i think you can get a sub that fits in the spare wheel well

Sorry to steal the thread with another question....
I have a faulty HU850 and would rather keep it than upgrade, is there anyone in the UK who refurbs them? CD Unit is not working.
I noticed a company in Texas does them but obvious issues with time and cost etc.

cheers chaps.

Don't want to buy another one and risk the same happening to it again central services refurb the whole to stop the hissing and popping and no sounds it's due to the solder round the chip disappears
