hey everyone,
1st post and everything, hopefully will be around alot more often from now on.
just got my self an 850 t-5, 96' one small problem is with the cd changer, ive had a read about and seen a few post where people are mentioning codes etc... the problem i have is when i press the cd button on my radio, nothing happens...nothing at all...no error code..no message saying no disc or disc not readable etc...this happens with or without cd's loaded. power light on changer in the boot is on. just wondering if any one has any ideas.....
(top spec radio btw)

Thanks in advance


Sean

welcome to the forum. congrats on the 850. stupid question, is it plugged in? check to see that it hadn't worked itself loose because of any items in the trunk. you never know, it might be as simple as that.

Also check that it is plugged into the rear of the head unit. Sometimes it is the simplest things.

ok, thanks for the feedback.
at least it doesnt sound like anything to technical..lol
ill check it when i get back to the uk, im in brasil for another week at least.
hopefully it could be something that simple.


would no message at all show up if the changer is not connected or would there be an error message on the radio???


BTW..details of the common abs module failure on here, sound exactly like the problem im having with tracs/abs...i think someone has removed the warning lights :s so i am going to attempt the fix myself at some point in the near future so no doubt you will hear about my experiences here.

Thanks for the adivce.

is there anyway i could persuade someone to disconnect thier changer and press the cd button just to see if you get a msg on the display or not


lol i know its cheeky to ask, i just cant stop thinking about it, and i can try it out on my car for another week or so



cheers

Hello, I just read your post and needed a smoke anyway. My CD player has been disconnected since i bought the car in July. I have never tried to push the CD button on the head unit until now. The response was nothing, radio continued to play, no error message, nothing at all. The cigarette was good though!
