So i got the stupid "CD ERROR" on the Mach CD-6. The changer was full at the time, so i pulled it out, took it apart and pulled all the discs out.
Well it still thinks that the discs are full.
I tried everything i could to get it to reset the memory.
A used changer was ordered, and i swapped it out with the old one. Well the new one still thinks it has discs in it too!
I've disconnected the battery, pulled the radio, and it still wont clear the memory out of the damn thing!!! How do i totally clear the F'er out and start from srcatch? Does it store all the settings somewhere else? I've disconnected the battery, and made sure all the voltage was out of the system, but it still keeps the radio presets and time!

 

Can we get a sticky on this subj since we address it once or twice a week? I have the perfect reply:

We at MF are sorry to tell you that no one on this forum, or any other forum can help you to fix the ford indash changer. You can pray to the mustang gods, allah, mohamad, or god himself to fix it but that is your best bet.

We will be happy to help you replace that radio with one that WILL last longer then its warrenty when you want to. Until then youwill have tokeep praying while you keep cussing at your changer.

Thankyou have please pull thhhhrrr, er havea nice day.......

 

I lol'd

 

yeah, **** you very much for the help

 

Lol. unfortunately he is right. Once your CD-6 starts acting up, it's really not much you can do. Where I work thats the most common problem. Sorry to tell you but ford just did not make a good reliable CD player. The best thing you could do is as said. Just get you a good reliable aftermarket CD player for your car. You won't be disappointed.

 

not trying to **** ya off but there honestly is NO way to fix this other then replacing it. You can keep buyin new ones if you want but you will only continue to prove my point. You might think as do most shops that you can't work with the mach systems and can't replace only one part and it is not true. Again, be MORE then happy to help you replace it, page 2 of my cardomain page is dedicated to replacing a deck in the mach system.

 

I also wasn't kidding about the sticky on this subj, it is titled and answered perfectly for the twice weekly questions we get on how to fix the 6 disk......

sticky please[:-]?
