Initializing error on cd - 2005 Ford Mustang

Take it out and throw it away and fit a new USB sd card type with no CD in it at all .cheap fix but worth it

Hi,

Interesting problem, perhaps you might try to do a reset of the system initially. Normally, this ought to revert everything back to factory default but of course all user settings, preferences and configurations would also be erased. Additionally, some models/units would also ask for an entry code before being operational, pls have this available if your unit requires one. An alternative method of reset is to remove power from the mains. But again, as a reset and a code might be required.

Could you possibly provide likewise the exact make and model of the Nav DVD-CD?

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

The mechanism has worn to the point that the tracking is no longer effective. So, you need to buy a new cd player or even a used one from a salvage yard to replace the old one.

OK I am no expert but I have has this exact same problem......TWICE. I just addressed it again this afternoon by disconnecting the battery. Once reconnected the radio "initialized" and I was able to eject all cd's and use the player again. I can only speculate as to the cause but it could be because at least 3 of the cd's contained MP3's burned from my ITunes library. I will stick to audio cd's and see if it happens again!

did you try a disc cleaner?

Toyota's only solutiion was to purchase a new radio or $800.00, so;
I sold the truck

Have you tried lots of different CD's?? If so and still same I suspect CD player faulty.

Turn key switch on and off, Remove Fuse's 7 and 31, turn Key on and off , Then put back the fuse's and it should work again!

Try to reset? Make sure CDs are compatible, try a diff CD. Check the magazine. What else... Call tech support!

you can try pulling the fuses for the cd then replace them. as the cd is cycling on start up, hold the load and eject buttons, and then hit the unit, in hopes to release the jam.
