Title: CDC won't eject cartidge
Post by: danzigfan on 23 January 2013, 21:22:57

Hy guys, I have this problem coming around for a few months now. HU is CCR600 with cdc cartridge for 6 discs. For example....started the car, put full cartridge in and it does it's work nicely till I turn the car off. After that it plays only the cd played last, won't change it, displays CDC ERROR, won't play unless I turn HU on/off few times and usually it doesn't eject cartridge for all day.
I know it's old and slowly going out but is there anything I can do to make it last longer? Stripping cdc down, clean it and put some grease onto mechanism?

Generally very reliable system.

I vaguely recall a software update for the radio to overcome (it didn't entirely) communication errors between radio and cdc

Thank TB, so it's HU - CDC communication problem, nothing mechanical...

After you get CDC Error, is the CDC unresponsive until you restart the car?

No TB, I only need to turn HU on/off few times and it starts to play cd curently played before but it won't change cd untill I'm able to remove cartridge and put it back again

....maybe something's mechanicaly wrong inside. It works nice otherwise, no problem, no skipping, repeating songs, laser ok , I only play original cd-s, no home computed music

Sounds like dirty sensor switches to me and cannot determine where the elevator mech is sitting.

Clean switches and should be ok.

mine had the same fault.. I didnt bother.. new units with mp3 capability can play CDs (or USB sticks) with millions of songs.. who is going to insert CDs to boot.. not worth imo..

I know Cem, that's why I made aux input on it. But it's nice to see it working if it's already there. As the rest of the car  ;D

Just a little update on a cdc issue.
The problem was one of two arms that move laser unit, had snaped.
Therefore cd couldn'b be changed and cartridge was stuck. A 20 min of work and it was fixed, still playing as good as new.
