Default 04 Accord 6 disc in dash Radio

So I am not a car person...let me start there. But I just took my car to the Honda dealer because I couldn't see anythig on the radio screen anymore, but it was still working (similar to other posts). Anyway, I am not about to spend $765 to replace it. Any suggestions on where else to get a factory replacement system? Can I buy a new non-factory radio from a store and install that instead? If so, will the steering wheel controls still work?

Did a warranty not come with your car?

Unless you've blown by 36,000 miles in under a year and a half, your car is still under warranty. If that dealer won't fix it (have no idea why they would charge you unless as I said you have far too many miles), take it to another Honda dealer, and get on the phone to American Honda customer service.

A TSB is a technical service bulletin. 200 miles doesn't mean shit, you can easily get your radio replaced. I got an O2 sensor replaced for free like 10k miles after my warranty expired. Be more persistent, call Honda customer service or go to another dealer.

Ditto, 200mi over is nothing. Go to the dealer.
