Hey guys! Sorry if this is in the wrong thread or if it already is a thread about this, but im desperate.

Lately my car radio has just started a life of its own. The CD player is trying to read a CD that it thinks is in the CD player, even though its empty. And when it does it disconnects my speakers. This happens very frequently (every 2-5 seconds). After it has tried to read the ''CD'', it stops for about 15-20 min. Anyone knows what the problem might be?

And at the same time as this issue popped up, my speakers started to make loud ''crackling'' noises, wich also happens every 2-5 seconds with a brief pause of about 5-10 sec. It sounds like its only coming from the front door speakers.

Any help is much appreciated!

hmmmm you have some comand issues..... no real way of telling what it could be without by passing components on the loop....

What kind of tool should i use to check that? Thank you so much for your help, havent been able to find anything about this problem anywhere else.

More help to this problem is more than welcome!

there's a jumper harness you plug into both fiber optic cables to by pass components. You most likely need a head unit though.... CD drive sounds to me like it's toast taking down the whole system.

So you think the whole CD drive is broken? In that case, can i just swap the whole radio/CD unit with a used ''new'' one?

not too sure. I haven't diagnosed the issue yet. It's possible but there may be another issue also. I
