Worked on my 2010 Dodge grand caravan. My am/fm and the cd player were not working for years, all I could do was play pandora from my cell phone thru the audio plug in port of the radio and then that finally went a few months ago. I did exactly what you did, step for step (had my phone playing video while I did it) and it worked like a charm! Thanks for passing along the info, from a fellow DIY'er.... *I did not have a small hot air gun BUT I do have a high heat gun (about the size of a blow dryer for your hair). I used aluminum foil rolled up like a cone and put on end of my heat gun so I could pin point the heat. It works great, hope it helps somebody else... thanks again

Thank you so much man , you saved my father from a 300$ so called repair job from the local mechanic. Before i couldn’t play Cd’s & am/fm radio but now with your help i fixed everything

Thank you so much Jordan. Worked like a charm !! Dealership said it was antenna...$467. I knew it wasn't. Detailed instructions were spot on.

Just fixed the wife’s radio thanks for posting. I’d bought her a new Android style replacement and she didn’t like it. Most of These newer style Android style replacements don’t have volume knobs just touch sensitive volume controls. Also I couldn’t get the aftermarket Android radio to dim enough for night use. Tried everything… too bright whole inside of car lit up. So I fixed her old one and put it back in. She’s super happy. Thanks again.

This worked for me, I made a little heat shield out of tin foil to protect the other nearby components and only expose the pins of the chip. Found a cheap hot air station on Amazon and set it to about 450 degf for about 8-10 seconds on each side while holding pressure. Working great now, thanks!

Thank you so much for this! Been plagued with faulty radio sound for a while now and google searches have had me pulling speakers and my headliner and fuses and all sorts of odd things... Thought I would give this a shot. Didn't have a heat gun so I used a butane torch lighter and waved it along each side for a few seconds from a couple inches away while pressing down on the chip as you did... Worked like a charm!!! Now to put my headliner and speakers and fuses and dash back together... You Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar! Thanks again!

This is a great video. Instead of using the hot air device in the video, I used my Weller P2K portable butane soldering iron. It also includes two hollow tips...a short one (approx 3/8") and a long one (approx 3/4"). Do NOT use the short one as it's a torch. The long one can be used on heatshrink and worked well for this repair...try melting some solder first to get used to it...it's a great device if you're thing about purchasing something to perform this repair.

I figured that the wood wouldn't bend, and might last longer. It's been almost a year, so I can't remember the exact dimensions. Just try whatever fits, as long as it puts pressure on the chip, and keeps the connection. And, yes, it's still working
