Sounds like its time to upgrade the system. I have a pioneer head unit (am/fm/cass) and am now waiting on a good deal on pioneers in dash cd player to add to it. They also make an in dash 6 disc changer. All fit nicely into the factory holes! Most other manufacturers will be a big improvement over the factory. And if you are half way mechanical, its a do it yourself project that can be done in a day.:cool!: Plus you'll probably be happier with the quality...:naughty:

If you search club.vmag, the reset procedure for the changer is posted there but usually once this happens, it is a matter of time before the unit will need to be replaced. I have a new stock changer that I would let go for $275 if you are interested.

Swap out the stock head unit for anything with mp3 capabilities and you won't need a CD changer. With mp3 you can fit hundreds of tracks on a single CD, you'll run out of time, gas, daylight, road, before you run out of music. I put a Trooper pocket in place of my CD changer to hold a case of 24 CD's full of mp3's. I average 200 full length tracks per CD, which is above and beyond what the stock changer can hold at 20 tracks or less per CD x 6. I have yet to listen to 200 tracks in one sitting, but i have over 5000 tracks ready to roll just in case. Go mp3
