If memory serves me correct, the only differences were the euro model has:
- TV button with tuner instead of a blank button.
- Instead of words on the buttons, pictures are used.
- There is no auto daylight savings time adjustment.
- Supports RDS

What would I do? I'd just spend the $300 to get the CD drive fixed and call it a day. Mine get's stuck at times too. I'll be sure to PM you when mine fails. $300 beats replacing the whole unit.
I thought about adding the TV/DVD mod, but the fact that our nav screens are so small and not wide screen changed my mind. Also the TV reception will be full of static and not clear when in motion. This isn't cable or satellite TV we're talking about. Also, the tuner is not digital and analog signals will be going away soon, so DVD video would be best if you go that route.
