CD player (changer) problems

mug3 · #1 03-16-2009, 01:28 PM

I have a 2006 X5 with Nav and Sat radio. Yesterday after loading several newly burned CD's, I tested the new CD's and they all played fine. Later that day I went to my car and tried to play one of my new CD's while on an errand but when pressing the mode button it toggled between my tape player and radio...no CD option and no Sat option (Sat is from prior owner...antenna removed, thoguh option always appeared).

Any thoughts or suggestions?

disconnecting the changer then connecting again would solve the problem

Tried disconnecting the changer but there is still no CD player showing up when I toggle through sources via my mode button.

Thoughts?

I have nav with DSP but the DSP coax wasn't connected. The 3 and 6 pin connectors were connected to the CD player. There was no coax line between the DSP unit and the CD player.

Is that because I have Sirius (or at least the prior owner did)? Seems like the the CD player would still have power to eject the cartridge but the unit appears powerless when connected.

The 3-pin plug into the Sirius receiver is disconnected.

That was it. I disconnected the 3 and 6 pin plugs to the Sirius receiver and connected them directly to the CD changer and it worked perfectly.

Thanks!
