PistonHeadsJun 9, 2010 - I don't know much about the OEM sat navs, other than that they cost no less than ... would need to be re-positioned and CD player becomes redundant. ... on forums, they do the job, just about and sometimes not too well at all.

This also happened to my 2002 WRX. I took the CD player out of the console and found a tiny spring (which I could not find) was not in its location, which would actuate the "play CD" switch inside. After a few hours I decided to reassemble the player and use it as a non-CD unit. The radio and cassette player still work, so I purchased a cassette MP3 player adapter so I can plug in my cell phone and play songlists.

absolutely no idea ,do you have anything else plugged in that could cause the sound cut off although you say the radio works?or has a plug come loose in the back of the radio ,you could try one of them radio fitting centres as you never know some young lad comes out presses a button and it all works as you had the mute on or something but the radio works ,is it a built in cd player or a remote unit ? in my time a 8 track was the in thing these modern things are welll beyond your ancient dinasaur here .

check your fuses first. You may have blown one.

Hi! I am experiencing the same thing! Have you find any solution? Thank you!

sounds like a bad radio that shouldnt happen bttery has no effect on changer opperation if the radio powers up the changer should work as long as its a factory radio w an internal six disc changer.

dont replace this only needs reset look for reset button?

had to replace player twice, luckily it was under warranty. FACTORY PLAYER JAMS EASILY !!! What I have learned is to put cd player in radio mode before ejecting instead skipping form disc to disc.
