Hi everyone:

I'm checking to see if anyone has had/is having a similar problem. I've got a 2000 996 C4 with the Navigation system (PCM1 I believe) and a 6 disc CD changer under the hood (CDC-3). It was working up until a week ago or so when I ejected the cartridge to load different CD's. Now when I put in the cartridge, it doesn't seem to lock in place, that is, it could slide out, if the door was not there. When I press the CD button on the radio, it says "No CD". It almost seems like it does not have power. I tried fiddling with the inner gear loading system to no avail. Everything seems OK on the inside. Also, the 3 connectors (power/audio) seem good too however did not check their voltage.

Anyone have this happen with theirs? Can anyone suggest options. This unit seems a little expensive to replace.eek.gif

Better than a 6 disc changer, is their a mod than could hook up to the cabling and play, say an iPod or something similar.

Thanks

Jimmy
