My cd player when vehicle is started sometimes will be on with power but the cd will not activate it just sits there doing nothing.Also while the cd is playing it will skip and continue,or skip over and over,or it will stop playing for a short time then come back on.It also will just start scanning forward and or backward in a scramble type mode.The entire time the power is on and the unit is lit up.I have cleaned the player twice,moved the power source and adjusted the stereo angle.The problem has happened on 2 homemade cds and 1 factory cd.Can someone give me a solution please? Thanks!
It sounds as if you've covered about as much as you can do without pulling it out and taking to the repair shop. Something you should definitely do if all this skipping is taking place whilst the car is stationary. A lot of earlier car CD players wouldn't accept the burn it yourself type disks and perhaps the factory CD was damaged. Try a few more factory CDs before you do anything else. Just because a disk plays on the Computer or cd Player in the house doesn't mean it will behave itself in the car. If you've has the unit for a while you could have the smear of grease they put on the worm drive gummed up with dust and this is stopping the disk carriage from moving freely. Or perhaps the heads are out of alignment due to constant vibration from rough roads. Either of these problems would mean a removal and either a clean or the repair shop. BMW
