I'm looking for the little buttons that you install in a lamp socket to
dim the bulb.
 
It is a flat device with an internal diode.  It fits inside the socket
and makes contact with the bulb and the socket electrode.
 
I have searched and can not find them.
 
Anyone have a good search term I can try.

Not since the (very) early 1970s in the US. Can you say: "Fire Hazard"?

You have several choices: don't get it fixed and live with it.
Send it to a car radio repair shop and pay big bux.
Get one from a junkyard and swap it.
Do as other posters have suggested and use memory stick or like.
Get a portable CD player and plug it in.

For an automtive CD player, yes. It's dead, move on. If you can get the
thing out of the dashboard and take it apart, you might have a chance, but
if it just died a sudden death, it's probably not work fussing with.
