I cannot for the life if me get my CD player to work. The Disc option is "blue", which means I cannot access it on the nav screen. I've pulled the radio / audio fuse with the truck on as well as off. I know folks on this board say it worked for them, but I am at a loss. Any other recommendations here?... I love the Lade, but want my &@$* CD player to work!!
Maybe do a battery disconnect, Do you leave nav disc in fulltime, maybe remove it? For some reason mine didnt like nav disc being left in when my lense was foggy and would do the 6 disc lock out thing (4x). It hasnt done it since I've cleaned it but I haven't left disc in either.
Thanks for responding 2muchspl! I was thinking about a battery disconnect. But I would think a fuse removal would be along the same lines. And yes, nav disc is out and has been out. I haven't had any reason to use it since I have updated the software. Not that I play a whole lot of CDs, but the wife likes it, and well, that's all that matters, right?... Ha!
I can understand how the issue you are experiencing with your CD player would be frustrating. It looks like you are requesting assistance from the forum and possibly plan on fixing it yourself. Should you require additional assistance, feel free to PM me and we can discuss your concerns further.
From everything I've researched, this is a permanent failure of your DVD Changer, due to internal fault.
When the Nav Radio boots up, it does a self-check of every major function in the deck, including a disc cycle check. The most common error is that it got turned off while trying to cycle a disc and now is stuck in that function, even if you managed to get all the discs out of it.
Mine is doing that, I was going to disassemble the unit but haven't gotten around to it due to a slew of other issues I'm fixing. I haven't seen any "easy" fixes to this at all. Most people who wanted to keep the ability to play DVD's simply bought an aftermarket unit. These were cool "back in the day", but the idea of buying Nav "CD's" just to keep a database up to date is about 10 years old, and most people want to stream music from their phone or a USB stick anyway.
Not to mention the cheapest "known good" replacements off eBay are still $750-800+. Let us know if you find anything different.
Punmax, have you figured out an after-market replacement to play movies? I was planning on using the car-in-motion DVD/Phone defeat plug-in BLU GM-29 to bypass the car-in-park sensor to play DVD's for my family to watch on road trips (not that 13 MPG is a great road trip vehicle), and wanted movie playback function on the screen and over speakers restored.
If you just wanted to listen to music, for about $5 bucks and about 20 minutes of your time, you could buy a 1/16" input adapter and wire it into the L/R wires of your XM wire harness, and also tap off your cigarette lighter's +12V wire (using a step-down resistor to drop it to 5V) and ground into a USB connector, run a female input wire along with the USB wire up into your arm rest glove box lower portion, then have power and audio for your (any manufacturer) of phone or iPod.
Meaning to do a write-up on our cars for it.
