I dont know if any of you will know anything about this. no one that i know has heard of it before. but almost every time i push the CD button in my 97' F-150 it will display "no cd" and every once in a blue moon it will actulay work. does anyone know what to do to make it work? Thanks

<smartass remark> have you tried putting a cd in it?</smartass remark>

are you putting in store bought cd's or burned cd's. ive seen numerous stock cd players that wont play or even read burned cds.

I had this error when I put the CD's in upside-down. Also it should give you the message if the CD cartridge doesn't engage fully. I do know this from a recent modification: un-plug the harness (on the front side of the changer) then re-insert it...this will basically reset the unit. It has power at all times, so unless the harness is disconnected, or the battery is disconnected it won't re-calibrate. Try this if you don't find anything else obvious...it just may work!
