My CD changer stopped working. I turn the car on and it will read CD1-1 and then nothing will happen. About 15 seconds later it will switch to CD 2 and nothing will happen, then 15 seconds again it switches...so on and so forth all the way until CD 6. Then it just says CHECK DISK and I can't even switch CDs or anything. I tried it with burnt CDs as well as production CDs and nothing works. I know the CDs work, too. The CD player itself worked fine this morning then all of the sudden stopped.

Any suggestions or experience with this? I don't want to take it to the dealership because they will charge $60 just to look at it.

Thanks!

 

search.

 

Your CD player is toast most likely. I just had this problem 2-3 weeks ago with my 06 coupe. Tried to clean the laser, use non-burned CD's, and everything else I could think of to resolve the issue. Nothing worked. Took it to the dealership and they replaced it free of charge. My friend who has 07 G sedan also encountered this problem last week. Same outcome. Dealer had to replace his player as well.

 

Thanks for the reply. I don't know how much is left on my 4 yr/60,000 warranty. I am under 60k miles, but I have an 04 and it is now 08 so I don't know if I have any more months left on it. I don't have an Infiniti dealer in town but I called Nissan and he said he wasn't allowed to preform Infiniti warranty work so I have to take it to the Infiniti dealer about 2 hours away.

 

I'm honestly not sure how long electronic components like the CD player are covered under warranty, but I'm sure they'll confirm for you if you give them a call. Sucks your nearest Inifiniti dealer is 2 hours away! Good luck with the repair. Hopefully it won't cost you anything, but 2 hours each way in gas is no cheap bill these days!

 

By the way, my friend's infiniti dealer said the malfunction was caused by burnt CD's, which I was also using in my CD player when it freaked out, but who doesn't use burnt CD's these days? Looks like a manufacturing flaw with the reader.

 

Man that sucks about the burnt CDs. I gotta call them and see what they say about it. Hopefully its under, otherwise I might just get an 80 gig iPod since that will probably be about the same price as replacing it, if not less. Thanks for all the help.

 

UPDATE: Called Infiniti and gave them my VIN# and they told me that it was still covered under warranty. They went ahead and ordered a new one and should be in next week. Thanks 'Nasty' for your help.

 

Anytime man. Glad to hear that worked out well for yah with no costs involved. Enjoy the new player!

 

man.. my cd player died last nite too.
something about CD ERR F0
i am so sad.

 

^That sucks man...this is definitely the thread where CD players go to die. Good luck on getting it replaced for free. Seems like there's a pretty good chance since I haven't met anyone who had to pay yet.

 

you'll meet one soon..
i am out of warranty..
i probably play the cd player once a month MAX too.. dangit
