94 Civic radio/cassette: no display

    Has anyone experienced a loss of the display on these radios and figured
    out which connection(s) are cracked on the circuit board? I've no
    problem opening the sucker up to resolder whatever's cracked. It's rare
    that the display comes on and it makes it difficult to tune... and as
    soon as I disconnect it I'll be without a radio until I can get the code
    back in, which could be difficult without the display as well.

    I'm not glued to this OEM radio/cassette--the one in my 85 Pontiac was
    better. Can anyone recommend a decent brand/model replacement that will
    fit the space--is the space standard? I don't want to have to rip up the
    dash to get something else in.

    Thanks.

    The opening is a standard DIN opening. I have had both a Blaupunkt and a
    Harman/Kardon in my '94 Civic. See http://www.installdr.com/ for removal
    and installation instructions. The only problem you may run into is that
    the after-market rear supports don't always fit. The Blaupunkt was
    installed by a stereo dealer, and they skipped the rear support
    altogether. The Harman/Kardon was installed by myself, and I got a piece
    of galvanized steel from the lumber section of Home Depot that I bent
    into a Z shape for rear support.
