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???

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.
