911 Posted 16February, 2023 Report Share Posted 16February, 2023 Hi all, My radio has started to play up. Wondering if anyone has the same one they'd be willing to part with? Figure it's easier that getting an entire new unit, as I barely use it. The top of my radio states the model is a MCC-2358P Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 17February, 2023 Report Share Posted 17February, 2023 Rare unit and rather expensive these days .. There is a company in Melbourne that can service / refurbish yours if you choose to go down that path .. They bought out Eurovox and all of their inventory back in the day ..

911 Posted 20February, 2023 Author Report Share Posted 20February, 2023 How much are we talking for used one or refurb? I was quoted $800 to replace with a continental unit, I think it was. Thought. I could get a standard one cheaper and justcchsne itvover myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 20February, 2023 Report Share Posted 20February, 2023 $800 for a Continental sounds over the top - more like 1/3 - 1/2 of that to buy a unit if you want to install yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond911 Posted 20February, 2023 Report Share Posted 20February, 2023 I had my 2358 refurbished by Vas the Eurovox technician. Can’t recall how much it cost. he was selling refurbished 2358 units for about $2000 I seem to recall. Not many around though. Refurbishing may be your best bet 911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continental is an easy DIY install, but not sure of the plug configuration compared to your existing unit. On later cars (eg 996) you need to swap the 3 and 7 pins so the ignition sense works correctly 911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've messsaged him, so will see what he says. Do you know if these run an amplifier or just the unit themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffar Posted 13March, 2023 Report Share Posted 13March, 2023 Likely to be swollen capacitors or failed transistors. Not difficult to fix by a techician as has been mentioned above on a radio that age. Keeps the original unit in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the amp didn’t require refurb, just the head unit. I recall the Eurovox amp looked something like that. I probably have the model number at home. Will see if I can dig it up.

I don't believe I have the 7 pin cannon plug though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 15March, 2023 Report Share Posted 15March, 2023 Not all units need the amplifier to run .. Have a look at the wires coming out of the back of it ... if it has a plug that houses all of the wiring, then yes, need the amplifier ..If the power, earth, speakers, etc are separate out of the back, then no amplifier needed .. Cheers .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers .... It has a 7 pin plug, so it would require the amp. The photo I've attached earlier was the cruise control module and not the amp. I can't locate the amp unfortunately, unless I'm completely missing it. I also noticed this hose that was disconnected under the dash, does anyone know at its for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a MO-480 but I believe the MO-420 was used more often by the late 80's. This may well be the same amp but can't be sure: VK GROUP 3 COMMODORE EUROVOX AMP HDT BROCK | eBay 911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
