CD Changer - It's always something...

Today my CD changer displayed a message that the magazine was empty.... not so, there are 6 cd's in the magazine. I removed and re-loaded several times, no success. Any ideas?

SL 55 and a GT 3000 vr4 Here's my car: http://home.online.no/~ludvs/index.cfm
Maybe the cd's is facing the wrong direction, try flipping them over.

I did that with a pioneer a long time ago when i put them in the magazine.

Also they have to be wav cd's to work, no mp3's.

I found a solution on another site. They called it the "Fonzie" technique. A couple of sharp taps after loading the magazine and I could hear the system finding them and now all is working normally. Sounds crazy, but it worked.

Why use CD's when you can use the AUX cable with your phone...

I'm using the aux jack for Sirius satellite radio. I guess I'm just one of those people that need everything to work properly, even if I'm not using it all the time. Thanks for your reply.
