I've got the 6 disc CD/MP3 player and it was playing 5 discs randomly this weekend when it suddenly quit while changing discs and now all I get is the "Check CD" message. Unfortunately, I can't get it to eject any of the discs so is there a trick to resetting this thing or do I have to take it to the dealer?

Dealer. The in dash changers suxs azz. The aftermarket learned that years ago, but the big three thought they could do better.:rolleyes:

Is the factory unit really that bad? This things not even a year old yet. Is it just going to be one problem after another?

most of the ones i see are about three years old,and hang a disc.if the dealer can't/won't warranty it .remove the radio ,disassemble and you may be able to remove the hung disc.It is only a matter of time before it happens again,plan on replacing the unit.

x2, except I've seen several that started like your's, less than 1 year old. I can't say that the amount of use is a factor. Seen several that haven't had a problem after being used daily for 3 years. On the other hand, a lady I work with had hers eat cd's in her new Caddy and it was less than 1 month old. It ate a cd again at about the 3 month range. After getting it fixed again, she hasn't used the cd player again.

Like tommystunnes said, plan on replacement, it will do it again.:rolleyes:

I'm out of warranty, and can't get confirmed answers as to aftermarket compatability with Factory Rear Seat Entertainment because nobody seems to know <GRR>........so I am going to send my '05 head unit in to these guys for a rebuild:

I'm not old!:p: You just cannot get the quality of a cd/super cd/dvd from a download. Very few download sites (and I mean legal) have the music at a quality better than 128mb, which is less than cd quality. The quality of XM/Sirius is not much better than standard FM since they keep splitting bandwith to add more channels, so I turned it off and haven't looked back. HD radio is much better (beyond cd quality), but there are no stations broadcasting in digital in my area.:( Poor quality music really shows it's ugly face with the system in my truck (see garage) and I like to jam.:ro) My ipod just doesn't hold much music ripped with Apple Lossless format since they are such large files. Therefore, I buy cd's, rip them to my music server and burn what I want to hear.:cool: My wife has the ipod, but it's mostly loaded with music for the kids.:rolleyes:

Well I'm old enough to have owned an 8 track tape deck so CDs and MP3s are just fine with me. This is actually my first truck to have a CD player as opposed to a cassette deck. The last 2 trucks were simple AM/FM with cassette and through 15 years I never even used either cassette deck! Anyhow, I just thought I'd mention that I never got enough time to take this thing to the dealer but I got a little frustrated with it tonight and gave it 3 solid smacks with my fist on top of the dash right over the CD player and the son of a gun started working again. I'm sure that it will eventually fail again but at least I'll have my CDs back for the ride home tonight. Cue up the 'Nickelback' please.
