Albert27 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 CD player has been giving me 'CD error' message and spitting out cd's the last couple months. Everything else is good Aux, phone, radio...... Was going to try one of those lens cleaner cd's before I buy an aftermarket CD player from the fraud that is Hal. If anyone's had a problem with theirs or any helpful suggestions, throw them my way! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert27 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Cleaning CD hasn't worked. Can anyone give me any idea on how to get at the CD player? Does the whole interface come off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micro Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 If as per your profile, you have the mk 2.5. Using a soft plastic tool (time to get a set of fascia spudgers), or a screwdriver wrapped in a soft cloth, pop the center fascia off. You should be met by 4 screws holding the radio in, and on removing you should have 2 wires (aerial and quad lock). Just remember to put the aerial cable back on before you put the radio back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert27 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Update: So I've finally got round to getting the whole CD unit out. Getting to the laser to clean it manually seems to be a really tricky job. I've got the unit in bits but still can't get at the laser as the cd slot just won't come away from the rest of it. I've got at all the torx screws but there is one unreachable one holding the cd slot in. Anyone got any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?
