Check all the plugs/sockets on the back of the head unit - the CD changer is, (I think) the blue section of the 3-part non-ISO connector.
See if it behaves differently with the CD changer unplugged.

unplug the player and press cd button and nothing.
replugged in and the changer is trying toload a disc. sometimes it loads disc one and tries to play for a sec or two. a simple dismantle and clean? hopefully

Worth a try.
I would think it would be easy/cheap to get a replacement cd changer - a few of us have a connects2 instead, (which is always another option and gives you much easier access to loads of music without losing the original head unit).

Re: clarion head unit. 6 cd changer. cd wontplay
that sounds interesting. any info on that please.
id rather not fit a single din as so ugly blanking plate. looked at head units it local ice place but if i can get this working that would be great because it needes at least 2 nnew speakers aswell as they rattle. pretty cheap stuff.

Not sure if it will work with your head unit, but worth asking the question maybe?

Hi Annie - if you post up the model number of the CD changer, I will have a look at my spare ones to see if they match, you are welcome to one.
I also have 4 speakers from my GLX available too, if you are interested ( I put the JBL from my executive donor into my GLX )
