When I put a CD in my factory CD player, it spits it back out with an "Err" message displayed.

Where can I take this to get it fixed?

Or is this a common problem?

Any help appreciated.

Sounds like a reader error.

Here are some questions for you:
* was the disk scratched or dirty?
* does this happen with all discs (store bought-- diff. brands vs burned -- diff. brands)?
* does this always happen or only when its cold/hot (outside, radio, cd - temps)?

Try a cd player cleaning kit. If you still get this error, I dont know where you can get it fixed. If the car is still under warranty, get it replaced.

I'm on my third Monsoon headunit now (display keeps dieing <sp?>).

I had the same thing happen and had it reflashed at the dealer under warranty. It worked again for a while and then the error came back. I decided just to buy a new sony stereo which I love. The OE ones are way too temporamental. Skips at times, acts crazy on hot days and has trouble reading cds when its cold.

Ehh,I still have my stocker stereo though.

It doesn't like your music selection and is trying to tell you something. Oh and BTW the correct spelling is DYING, but you were damn close. Sounds like a problem with your reader though, dusty/dirty, try compressed air too if it's available.

I wasnt sure because isn't the present tense of DYE, DYING?


EDIT:
I just looked it up on Dictionary.com
DIE - DYING
DYE - DYEING

Exactly, different meanings and spelling but sounding the same. I think that's called a homonym...it's great having a 9 year old, you relearn all the crap you forgot from long ago.

Trying compressed air today.

Thanks, some of you

I meant the type in a can not just a shop hose. Just thought I would clarify, I don't think the cleaning disc would help too much since it needs to spin to work and if the reader isn't reading it will stop altogether.

Yeah thats what a homonym is. The present tense of those two is spelt almost identicall too.

Sorry for the side track z98.
Hey how'd this train get derailed anyway.....
O thats right, mySStery_machine put a penny on the tracks.
(And I'm by the side of the tracks giving him pennies.)

I've got some, being a computer dork with 10+ computers at home, in various stages of repair (disrepair? <- have fun with that one).

VIP1

Same here. Mostly old stuff.

Disrepair is correct, how did the air work?
