SOURCE: cd stack in cd player,screen shows err

My CD Player did the same. It showed an "ERR" message when trying to detect the beginning of a CD. I thought that the CD was dirty and wiped it down. Then I discovered that the player would detect the CD when the car was idle, but not when the car was in motion. Maybe the laser is THAT sensitive. Hope this works for you.

SOURCE: CD player in 05 chevy cavaliar shows ERR what can

you have a cd driver error and it needs to be repaired or replaced. repairing it is cheaper, and the cheapest solution, Our shop repairs these unit on a regular basis. If you replace it with another factory unit you will have to have it programed at the dealer for it to work. Aftermarket radio will require some skill o install. modules and accessories will need to be purchased. Not sure where you are but our shop is in Oshawa Ontario.

How do i replace radio cassette player with a cd player mazda 6 2002

Don't replace it. Go to Walmart and buy an adapter. It is usally at the check out somewhere and It cost about $5.00. It has a cassette that goes into the cassette player. Then you plug your ipod or whatever into the attached wire. Doesn't look cool but it works and it is inexpensive. The adapters with the cd player attached skip (we had one 20 years ago) so just buy the new kind of adapter for less and play all your up to date gadgets. Put your cd songs on your ipod or iphone. Our son uses one in his truck with his little ipod shuffle. No cd player needed.

Cd player doesn't work in 2006 hyundai sonata

There is a chance that you have a bad drive belt inside of the CD player. You probably need to have the unit removed and either sent in for repairs or find someone local to you that is competent in repairing it.

I have a RDS stereo and it won't play my cd's. It says player error

RESET YOUR PLAYER AT DEFAULT SETTINGS. SWITCH IT OFF. SWITCH IT ON AND INSERT CD. GIVE THE PLAYER TIME TO READ. DON'T PRESS ANY BUTTONS TILL IT COMPLETE IT'S READING. IT WILL PLAY THE CD.

ALSO CHECK CD'S ARE BRANDED AND NOT COPY FROM COMPUTER. FEW COMPUTER WRITE CD NOT HAVE AUTO PLAY OPTION.

IF PROBLEM NOT SOLVE PLEASE INTIMATE.
