"CD ERROR" Not playing a CD.
 

Hello there,

I have been getting a "CD ERROR" come up on my HU-803 unit the past couple of months, its not like (from what I read) the other errors people have as I can still eject and switch CD's.

When the error comes up I find that eventually it will work if I keep flicking back and forth between the 4 discs until the required one works (they are home made and store bought both with problems).

Sometimes it will work perfectly all the time but say if I switch off the car and back on it will then come up with the error, not all the time though.

It may also happen when I turn the ignition on the CD works fine and then I start the car, when the radio comes back on I get "CD ERROR".

What can I do to fix this other that wasting my time flicking back and forth until it works?

Kind Regards,

Rob Holmes.

Mine does the same. It's a symptom of the unit being on it's way to failing.
No easy or cheap fix so you would be best looking out for a replacement, ideally from a car of similiar year and spec to hopefully avoid compatibility issues.

I find mine is worse in cold weather - I was planning to replace it with an aftermarket unit but now I'm thinking of selling the car so little point.

HTH, Craig.

Perhaps it doesn't like your choice in music. ;)

There is a thread here on replacing the unit with a up to date radio, it looked good too and you get shot a 10 year old dinosaur.

Find the thread bin the Volvo unit.

Had same on my S60, sorted it by keeping the on/off button pressed and turning the ignition to position 2 about three times. This was some time ago and hah never occurred again.
