Not at all mate. Im useless at this sort of stuff

Yeah tried a lense cleaner(with the fluid stuff)

i thought i read somewhere on here that its a common fault and its possibly the laser pick up thing thats buggered. just dont know how and where to get it fixed. Ive got 2 cdc2 so i could always send one off to be checked and repaired i just dont know of anyone/where that could do it

1 port of call could be blaupunkt themselves :

dont have a clue about costs, but could be worth a phone call.
Even at £100 or so, mych cheaper than a full replacement system.

Probably a few of us here with cdc2's in the shed that could do with fixing.

Cheers Jimbob

I already sent them an email and heard nothing back so i might try phoning them. they may have a list of stockists thats near me who could repair it.

worth a shot i suppose

If the CD changer is the only issue have you thought about investigating why it is causing problems? Might be worth carefully taking it apart and cleaning it up, looking for any obvious problems. It'd be a shame to bin a system you're happy with for the sake of a dirty lens in a CD player. If you're not confident a decent tv/hi-fi repair shop might be able to help.

i will have to do a google search for somewhere near me unless anyone has any recommendations?

The Bose setup in post 98 Elites is one of the better factory systems (excluding the £5k - £10k options on german execs)

These cdc2's give an error if the actual disc playing part isn't at the home (bottom) position when you apply power to it.  Found out the hard way when I took one of mine apart.  You would need to remove all covers, and  then turn the big plastic drive cog  using a terminal driver or similar to get the carrige into the lower position.  The drive motor for carrige position is behind the pcb where the multi-plug connects.

i tokk the car out for about a 6 mile journey and it worked.switched engine off and went into a shop,come out,started car up again and it come up with the erroer again.

it seems to work when it wants to.

As you can imagine its very frustrating

[The Barge Captain]

Ahh - mine does that sometimes.  If you shut the ignition off when it's playing a cd, then start up again it comes up with an error.  If you press the button to take it to radio mode, then back to cd mode it resets itself and carries on from where you were.

[bear33]

mine unfortunately doesnt do that .ive tried lots of different things including turning the stereo off before switching off engine
