Title: CD changer fault...?
Post by 10mpg on Jan 19^th, 2010, 9:45am

The cd changer in my ultima has a fault in that it wont recognise the CD it finds them and you can hear it whirring away but after 10 seconds or do it just come up with 'check CD' and moves on to the nest one which it doe exactly the same with..

It probably needs a new laser as optical pickups eventually fail. Chances are you'd find it easier and cheaper to get a secondhand changer than to have anyone repair the unit by fitting the correct laser assembly (if even available)
