2003 Lincoln LS




By bruceh on Oct 18, 2007

" "
I' having issues with my 2003 Lincoln LS 6 CD changer. It abruptly stopped working today. I get a cd error.

I cannot eject the disk, play a disk, or shuffle. I get a "cd error" message.

I am wondering if it is possible to reboot the cd. My experience with software influences me to take such action..

Thoughts?

- just the cd player.

stereo works great.

i'm moved to believe it is with the mechanical changing part of the cd changer. If it is software, I expect to hear some sort of movement noise to output that the cd player is trying to read the disk.

There a technique to unjam or reset the system? I am wondering if I can reset the code of the system and see if the cd player has self check diagnostic capabilities during start up that just might dislodge this pesky behavior.

Replacing is the easy fix, but why can't I make stuff I have now work instead of getting a new one?

-   I have the same problem with my 2004 Lincoln Aviator, and the number of discs in my player reads all 6 CDs in the changer. So when I try to press CD AUX button, it kept reading NO CD, and when I press the EJECT button, it kept reading CD ERROR. What's going on?-   Guest

i think you will most likely have to replace the factory unit. That problem is very common with cd changers. it's a mechanical issue. is it the cd changer on the stereo itself?

I have just purchased a USA Spec F100i 6 disc changer. There is a lable on the bottom stating "manual eject" - How do you manually eject the magazine.? Also, does the unit normally have to be connected to remove the magazine? I purchased the unit used and wanted to make sure the magazine was functioning properly before paying someone to install. Thanks, Jeff

" DISC ERROR " it does not recognize any of he 6 cd's and is not recognizing my dvd player also when you go in the mode on the player and choose from Disc / Sat/ Ves --Ves being where the sound from the dvd player comes , it does not even switch to Ves, it goes to Disc and when I press the mode button again it goes to Sat and when I press the third time it should go to Ves but it switches to Disc mode, completely skipping VES mode.
I can take my Cd's out and insert Cd's but my radio plays well. my nav system works fine.

202 lincoln ls disc wil not eject

Comment by wlessard, posted on May 27, 2008

I have an 02 Lincoln LS with the Alpine 6 CD changer. Occasionally the CD Error would come up but eventually I could get the CD out. No longer.
I'm trying to figure out how to get into the thing. Does anyone know how?

The same exact thing happened to me with my LS and now I can't get the burned cd's out. They wont eject.

I had the same problem with the Alpine 6 Disc changer a 2002 LS. Dealer said it was caused by using "burned" discs (CDR's as opposed to commercially recorded). I'm skeptical because I've been using CDR's in the unit for six yeasr without a problem. Also, I can't see why the recording format should have any effect on the unit's mechanical ejection system. Since extended warranty applied, I had the unit replaced.
