Hey there. Thanks for the info. I have a 2008 Chevy Cobalt with 99,000 miles and the previous owner poorly fitted an aftermarket Boss 820BRGB radio to where the bottom sticks out slightly from the weight. But it works fine and has bluetooth but I was thinking about buying a touch screen off Amazon. I'm glad I watched your video which helps me avoid those cheap knockoff radios. But I saw at the end you bought a Sony. Did you have the chance of installing it yet and will you have a video coming out soon about how you installed it? Also have you heard of the aerosol cans of protective rubber coating for motherboards? I wonder if that would help keep the components on the motherboard from overheating and potentially blowing out. Im pretty sure it would work better for vintage electronics like game systems and VCRs that aren't exposed to alot of heat. But I just learned about it recently.

Great video. It’s amazing that the “genuine” part is less than $5 and they still use a knockoff.

What kind of profit margin do you think they make on these. even one dollar is a major loss for them.

My guess: a cap blew. Edit: Okay so it wasn't a cap, but a transistor was my second choice. :) Edit 2: Aha! A cap WAS involved!

Did the cap eat the IC or the other way around. Who knows

How’s your cobalt from 2008 only got 80,000 miles that’s incredible
