Problems with CD Changer

Have any of you had problems with your cd changer? Mine has been acting up. Since it is less than 6 months old, that frightens me. One day, the magazine can be full with good cd's, and working fine. The next day, the cd's start skipping, not even playing, etc. I even had it cycle through the entire magazine to tell me NO CD 1-6 and MAGAZINE EMPTY. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Sounds like another trip to service

Not exactly the same problems, but in the past weeks, the changer has been 'skipping' much more often - sometimes in conjunction with bump in the road, sometimes without apparent cause.

I've tried to shake the changer during CD play, but cannot induce a skip this way.

I intend to have them check/change the player at the next service, as for the first 10 months of ownership, the player never skipped once - even on the bumpiest of roads.

CD Changer Acting up

yeah.... had similar issues when I got my C200K with the Audio 10. Initially thought it was the CD-Rs that I have in the changer - some days it would say "No CD".

I've since learnt that if I turn the ignition key a bit more slowly ie. position 1 > pause > position 2 > pause > crank-start, I'd have no problems at all. Don't ask me why though I'd venture that it's got to do with the "initialization" of the car's electronics (including the audio HU) - if there is such a thing
