Radio on my trafic won't accept my Abba Gold cd, or Carpenters either !     Is this an easy fix ?

Does it work with other cd's?

If it does then it could be that the cd player doesn't recognise the format of the songs. The cd player in my car will recognise the usual cda (?) format but not WMA or mp3. The cd radio in my van (upgraded) recognises mp3's. The cd radio I took out didn't. As the upgrade is bluetooth, I can stream whatever is on my phone to the radio if I want to.

If it doesn't play anything, then there is the possibility that the unit is faulty. It will probably cost more to repair than a new compatible replacement.

Then there is also the possibility that the cd doesn't like Abba or the Carpenters.  ;D

When I try and push the said cd in, it just spits it back out !    I bought a device that you can take the unit out with, so might try and take it to bits, and re-assemble it, and have a few screws left over  ;D

To remove your radio/CD player,  get 4 cotton buds, pulls wool off 1 end of them all and push them into the 4 holes around the corners, radio will pop forward a cm and can pull out

As far as ya abba cd goes.......... You can't blame the van for spitting it back out,  ;D

What do you do when ya get a bad taste in ya mouth  ;D

If ya get stuck for ya radio code I can help with that coz I do a lot of work for renault.
