Hi all. I have just bought a 1999 CDX estate. The only problem I have is that I am unable to play cds. I have loaded the magazine correctly and put it in but nothing happens. The radio works fine. Any suggestions please.
-
Any error messages on the screen?
-
No thats what I cant understand.Once the loaded magazine is in it does nothing. When I select cd the word Magazine comes up on the led display.
-
Sounds like unit has failed, and needs servicing. The changer portion of this set do seem delicate.
-
Im glad that Im not on my own. Any suggestions? Is it a dealer job or is there a chance I can do it?
Thanks again.
-
I know a few people on here are more familar with the cd changer portion than me, hopefully they can cast some light on what goes wrong. Likely to be mechanical within the changer mechanism I would suspect.
-
Fairly common problem, but as Phiips and spares are no longer, not something we can repair I`m afraid.
:'(
-
Oh Bugger. Thanks for that.So unless anyone has one knocking about its looks like I`m ebay bound.
-
Could the switch at the back of the inside cd changer unit be knackered?
Might be worth stripping down and running on a bench if you are ok with electronic type of repairs? I certainly would if i had the problem.
Cheers

Mr DND, did you say the magazine/changer internals can be swapped from a stand-alone CDC2??? (or something like that!?!)
Andy. the changer is not recognising the magazine, the exact same message is shown on the screen if the magazine is not inserted and you try to operate. Maybe that will lead you nearer to the problem if you fancy taking it apart???

CDC3 (4 disk one) is more likely I'd guess...

NOT THE CDC2 !!!!!
If you can get your hands on a CDC3, its a very easy repair / swap
From your new in dash single Din CDC3, take off the plastic fascia assembly, remove the lid and take out the vertical PCB on the right hand side.
Replace the vertical PCB with the one from your old unit, as this contains the programming for use with the CCR2006 put the lid on from the old unit.
once board swapped, replace the entire unit, chassis and all and plug back in.
Should take you around half an hour and not really rocket science to do.

Surprised the Sony sounds OK through Bose - the levels are all wrong.
To clarify for those who may be interested, are you selling a ccrt700 or a ccr800 - there is no such thing as a crt800 ;)
-
Sorry I havnt replied sooner. Thanks for the above info and ideas. Now for the daft question What tools do I need to get it out?
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.
I never got this much help on the Rover forum STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Standard double din removal tools - just like normal ones, but bigger! Halfrauds flog 'em. Or 4 nails if you know how.
You will obviously need to reenter radio code when refitting...

it s a ccr800, my mistake, the sony sounds great, :y

Andy, use the 'double din radio removal keys' as mentioned and extract accordingly. Some here...

You could also sneak your fingers into the cassette deck for a little extra leverage to pull out. Careful though...you may be walking around after with cassette shaped fingers! ;D
Phill, your ccr 800 is a completely different shape and fitment to andy's 2006 in his facelift car, so don't really see the advantage :-?

Hn dave
cheers for that , not that familiar with head units for omega.

Thanks again guys orderd the pins so hopefully I`ll be getting some where soon. ;D
-
Pins arrived today so I had the unit out o have a look. Nothing jumped out at me and all seemed intact apat from the facia which has been broken pevious to me. That made me think that someone else has had a go. So I decided to put it back in. One doing so the unit sprang into life even without the code (?) scanned and saved radio stations and the cd now works!!!!!!!!!!!.So I`m waiting to see how long it lasts before it packs up again but so far so good.Thanks alot to all who have posted ideas etc.
Andy :o

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Aye, that sounds like a vauxhall!!!
....the 2006's are notoriously fragile though so the cash forked out for them removal keys may not be entirely wasted! Just be careful when inserting the cartridge and make doubly sure that all the CD's are inserted in the cartridge correctly :y
