Mike Moffa Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Like some of you know. I did install my Navigation system .. Everything worth perfectly.. But after reinstalling the radio.. a day after, I realised that I cant play my CD player anymore.. Its dead.. I dont even see the little little light on the radio screen , to show me the disk that are insert in it.. I press on the CD radio Button.. nothing happen.. AM-FM work without problem.. But no more cd.. cd charger, ... Eject, Load, .. nothing work.. all dead.. I check the connector in the back.. everything is plug in.. ?? any suggestion to look for ? a fuse just for the CD player ? thanks Mike Mike Moffa Founder / Admin Montreal Subaru Club http://www.montreal-subaru-club.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxerGT2.5 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Same happened to !S4. He didn't install Nav, but the CD player took a crap and wouldn't work? Beats me as to what the deal is. OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Moffa Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 I did't do nothing special.. I just remove the radio, to pass some wire behind it.. and I went to get my 12v accesories on one of the wire that was going to the radio .. nothing special. No amps add to the circuit.. just my 12v accesories.. !S4.. What he as done. the CD player just stop like that, or it was after a modification ?

Mike Moffa Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 I just found the post of !S4..

S4 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I didn't do any modifications, but what happened is I changed to disc two, and before it was even done changing I hit eject thinking it'd queue the command. I don't know if that was just a coincidence or what, but after hearing some clunking, nothing happened and it switched to radio. I could intermitently select CD after that and try ejecting the disc, I'd hear a few clunks, and then it'd switch back to FM. I think mine was a mechanical failure. Perhaps when you were moving the CD player, you shifted the discs around inside it and something got jammed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Note for anyone taking out the stereo: Remove all discs BEFORE removing the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Moffa Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Thanks for the infos.. at least, you had it under warranty. I probably did a mistake by moving the radio , without removing the disc.. but, I did move it really slowly, because, I did not want to scratch the face of the radio against the shifter rod. grrr.. dammit.. have to call the dealer I guess.

ScoobyLife Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Try taking the power off your radio (unplug the harness to reset it). Just a thought, you probably already tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 You didn't open the changer, as far as I'm concerened it should definately be covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Try taking the power off your radio (unplug the harness to reset it). Just a thought, you probably already tried it. Easier yet is pulling the fuse for the stereo. It's easy to find, I did it in the dark with just a flashlight. Once I pulled the fuse, I hit the power on button a couple times to make sure it was completely drained, then put the fuse back in. Didn't work for me, but it may in this instance.

Mike Moffa Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Yououoou.. good news.. I have decided to remove it for the last time..

I remove the radio (for the 6 time app).. but those time, I have decided to give the "ultime last ressort all arround fix solution" I hit the s** of bi***.. replug.. dont work.. Again.. replug.. bling bling.. CD goes on.. I heard all the system .. eject all the 6 CD. and everything works now.. Lucky day I guess. lol..

Xenonk Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I guess the CD player is very picky to vibrations and heat.. sometimes my CDs skip and starts to seek through the CD while I am driving.. it sucks but hey, I have a better stereo system in the car.. it's called 6000 rpms of pure engine sounds.

S4 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I often turn the radio off and just listen to the engine. Mmmmm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
