Radio Help

[ShoTymGT]

I'm new to this board and need your help.

I purchased my GT used from a Volkswagen dealership. The Mach 460 radio works fine but the CD player keeps giving me a CD error. I recently changed the battery, after I did that the radio worked for about an hour, then I got the CD error again. So I went on Ebay and purchased another Mach 460 replacement. It was only $80 so I figured what the hell. Anyway, I just installed it (thanks for the help on my previous thread regarding installation) and it is giving me a CD error. I'm thinking what are the chances of two decks having the same problem. I plugged everything up correctly. Now if the battery is removed on my wifes Honda I have to enter a code for the radio to work when the battery is reconnected. Is this the problem I'm having??? Has anybody had a CD error with their Mach 460 and if so what was it and how did you fix it???

mine sounds like its eating the disc and then it comes back and says bad disc which the discs are brand new. But ford is replacing it for me underwarranty work. this just happened recently and ive never had a problem since new.

Join the club - this is a frequent error. I just fought with mine again last night. Finally turned it off, drove to where I was going, then it worked ok - go figure. I haven't seen any quick fixes (or ANY fixes for that matter, other than replacing the head unit.) But I like the system otherwise and I'm not big into stereo crap anyway...I'd rather go fast...but I do want this thing to work...on a regular basis!!!

^^ Thats the quickest fix there is. My did the same thing and I replaced it with a Pioneer 6800 and it rocks! iPod, Sirius and a working CD player what more could you want.

Only downside is i think single din radios look like butt in a 1.5 din slot.

I don't feel like spending $1000 on a 1.5 din unit...so factory radio it is.


Actually, i can't complain. I haven't has a single prob with my Mach 460. It even ejects CD's when i want.
