spitting CD on startup

[pr1mo]

hey all, cd player is spitting the cd out when i turn the ignition on, anyone have any clues?

reset switch or battery back-up not working. does the radio stations you have tuned in stay tuned? park the car in heat also? can be the overheat safety switch if is hot in the car while parked.

just a few ideas, dunno which it will be, good lick with it mike.

rofl @ my music taste

ill sus it out guys. havent played with the radio on it yet

[Cosmo Dude]

Told you :p

Store a radio station in the h/u and see if it's still there tomorrow. If not I'll check the battery connection.

hey rod, nah its not storing radio stations. when u turn on the ignition the player sais 'OFF' and spits the CD or turns off the radio. whatever is on at the time

cheers mike

Its your dirty wiring.
I told you that!!

Check your wiring, if that is ok make sure you have not blown a fuse (I had the same problem with the HU).

The radio should have 2 power wires, a contstant 12v and a ignition accessories trigger.

Sounds like it doesnt have the constant. Has it always done this ?

If its recent check the stereo fuse. If its always done it check the wiring.

nah this is a newwie we put in the ute on sat

easiest option would've been to get urself an adaptor harness from car model to stereo brand.

available everywhere. plug & play

They exist?

I knew you could get wiring harness for the car model that would normally plug into a stock HU and you can just use the wires to connect up to the HU harness.

Didn't know you could get one to plug straight into the HU though..

[Dogo]

you can get two different types.

one is harder to find - this is a direct adaptor harness from car to HU eg Mazda to Sony

The other uses an ISO standard. You need 2 harnesses, one for car->ISO, one from ISO-> HU

A few companies, including Aerpro make them. They're available pretty much anywhere.

ahh.. now that is cool

I knew about the car > ISO ones just not the others.

hmm pr1mo r u sure u connected the correct wiering.. also make sure all wires are insulated.. if 1 is exposed and touches the metal sourounding it can short it or make it do stuff like spit cd out.. then again it mit eb your music choice :p
