Ok Lou (fiestakingfisher) has just texted me to say her CD player was broken. I asked her if it was a copied CD & if the message she was getting was "ERR 3" & she said yes to both. I remember someone posting on here about the exact same thing & some people posting with the same problem and some solutions but I cant find the post. Luckily (*touch wood*) I havent had any problems with my copied CDs in my car. Apart from going to the dealership what were the other tips & hints given?

Well first off i would try another cd, a proper one to make sure its not the player itself and then also try the copied cd in another player to see if it is the cd. Is the disc scratch free?

She cant get the CD out & the "ERR 3" is the message she gets. I remember from the old post that some had the same problem & couldnt play copied CDs & others (like me) had no problem and happily played copied and "real" CDs together.

oh right, i've seen a few ford head units on ebay, and they were selling them with the cds jammed in the unit

I think its some sort of anti-piracy system, if you play a copied CD then it jams your headunit so you can't use it again!!!



(sorry, that was probably the least helpful reply ever...)

I believe that's a CD mechanism jammed code. Most likely a warranty job but one thing to perhaps try is disconnecting the car battery and leaving it for an hour then reconnecting it and having someone immediately pressing eject before it tries to read the disc. Unlikely to work but you never know.

take the unit out and freeze it it used to wipe the memory on sat navs ,radars stuff like that might work with radio.Don,t let it get to wet with condensation afterwards,but putting the ac on for an hour should fix that

pink i get the same thing as well, takes every cd but copyied one's and its a pain in the ass to try and get them out

nothing to do with it i expect, but bought joss stone's album a while back (its not bad actually), and it has special anti copy software on it - so when we stuck it in the pc to copy it it wasnt having any of it. Well unfair, but as its joss.. ill let her off! lol

Yeah get an aftermarket head unit

I have copied CDs in my car and they eject, play, rewind and fast forward with no problem Odd.

well if she wants to buy a working 6006 cd player i'll happily sell her mine which is now gathering dust on a shelf

i dont have the traffic thing on my radio on at all, but it just tuens it self on lol pain in the bloddy ass
