"Err" message when trying to play CDs

Not sure what's up with this, actually been doing it since I bought the car. I've been trying to figure it out. Sounds like the changer is loading the CDs but won't play them. Anyone with any suggestions? Common issue? Time to just scrap it and get something new?

Has it ever played CD's? Make sure you're burning them in the correct file format. The Monsoon HU CD player WON'T play MP3 CD's.

Did you check the stickies? There should be info in there on the codes.

If you're talking about the optional external CD changer in the hatch area... are you sure you put the CDs in the trays correctly? They go in label side DOWN - opposite to what just about every other changer does.

Guess I should have done that! Reading is fundamental! lol
