My CD changer is in the boot of my Passat.
It has developped a mind of its own when I want to skip a track.
If I start on CD 1 Track 1 and then press the "next" control, it goes to Track 8, and if I press it again it jumps to Track 17.
If I operate the "previous" control that works OK.
I have tried removing and re-inserting the CD magazine, I have switched OFF and ON, and I have switched to FM radio and back to CD without any effect.
It seems to have got into a "custom track selection" routine, but I can't see anything about this in either the Sony Manual, or the Passat In-Car Entertainment Manual.
Has anyone any ideas ?
Thanks for the feedback. In fact I found the solution myself. While advancing the tracks on the Passat's control panel I must have pushed the "SFL" button. According to the Passat Audio Manual this arranges for a random selection of the tracks from a CD to be played! I guess it pays to read all the manuals and not just the most obvious one.Thanks for the feedback. In fact I found the solution myself.

Find the "reset" button (this button usual is very small) find it in front of the control panel, if the control panel is removable find "reset" button after removed

It sounds like you have the cd on random or shuffle. Look to see if you have a button marked rdm or shuf or some variation of that. If so, try pressing that button to see if random/shuffle turns off.
Mine says that all the time and it doesn't skip like that.. try using some air duster in the back and cd tray.. mine actually quit playing cds at one point.. my friend said it was the "dust cover" or something like that by the eye..
There are two ways either the 90* or the 180*. If your having problems like skipping I'd suggest finding a place at the center of the car where there is less shock for the unit, like under your seat. I know changers have this 6 seconds or more memory so in case it skips, the first 6 sec ahead of the song is stored and play it to avoid the skip.
It fixed it's self,the next day the changer was working normal.the battery is weak and going to be replaced.so maybe the problem was low system voltage." IT'S A JEEP THING " ???
You might need to have it professionally cleaned / diagnosed. The problem might not be a dirty reader, but a misaligned tray. Many trays, over time, become misaligned. Some more than others. Depends on your use and abuse of the unit. The issues generally happen towards the end of the tracks.
