The CD player and the CD changer don't work in my 2001 A6. I get the message CD ERR 1. Can you tell me what the error message means? I bought the car used, and never got any manuals. I also have a satellite radio which has been working fine up until the CD players failed. Now, the satellite radio comes on for about 10 seconds, then the error message comes on for 10 seconds, then it toggles back and forth like this for up to 30 minutes.

What are the problems exactly. You are being to generic.

My father inlaw just purchased a 2001 lincoln, with a six disc changer, Question is he loaded the unit ,and now he wants to eject the cd's and the changer won't open? any suggestions thanks

the cd eye isnt reading the disk

The cd changer internal mechanism is faulty, replace the cd changer itself.

Have a 2005 Freelander and the battery died. When I re-charged the battery, the CD changer had a CD ERR 1 message. Could not eject or load a CD and the radio worked. I turned off the radio and pulled off the cover on top of the CD changer. I removed the two screws that hold the frame around the CD changer. I turned the CD back on and the CD went through a test on each CD. I know this solution might not work for everyone, but it worked for me

dear friend- the error code means the lazer is not reading your cd,if it is a pirate cd it might be the problem,or the lens must be cleaned.

cd rack should pull out when you press the button down

HI,THE REASON YOU ARE GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE IS BECAUSE THE MECHANISM IS FAULTY,YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED,ANDY

Are you placeing cds face up or face down in the changer, some cd changers will only play with the cds face down.

Well I had a 1990 Xj6 with an aftermarket cd-changer in the trunk and it didn't work, so when I took it to an audio specialist he said that it needed to be replaced. But what he did say is that most manufactures use the same connection cables for their products, ex. Sony plugs will work on all Sony cd-changers. I now have a 1994 Jaguar XJ6 and I have the same error code. I know that Jaguar installed Alpine CHM-S620 cd-changers. So in theroy you could go to an audio store and get the same cd-changer and it should have the same plugs so you wont need to rewire anything. I havent done it yet because I just bought the 1994.
