Do we??????? lol

is the 6006 cd a sony cd player then? or am I getting confused?

If this really is some kind of lame anti-piracy thing, there is only one real solution: take the car back to the dealer every time a CD gets stuck for that reason...

Last I checked (in South Africa, at least), copies for personal use are 100% legal - and there's no way I'm going to be subjecting my CD collection to the abuse they'll probably get in my car

You could probably try extracting the wave files and then reburn them to CD, as an alternative to copying an entire disc in one go.

Yes one copy of your own disk that you have legally bought is fine for backup purposes.

I cant see it being an attempt at anti piracy, I just think the headunits dont like certain brand CDR maybe??

Mine plays some discs that I have copied myself but I tried one yesterday that a mate had done for me and it wouldn't play. Thankfully it ejected ok though!

Ta for your replies peeps Sorry I haven't replied earlier, but been down in Devon for the week. On the way back home, I was listening to the radio, and all of a sudden, the cd player came up with 'EJECT' and chucked a cd out... So I then tried to eject all CD's, and they all came out!!! Strange... lol... Going to try it with just normal cd's for a while, and see how it goes!!

no scotty mate, its not a sony unit at all, its some big pile of poo unit, ford spoil the car by putting this crapy unit in it, but there u go

Yeh no I didnt think it was Sony - they'd not put a de badged Sony in it would they! lol. The Sony one I was talking about is in the new Focus and so the Focus ST probably.

spot on chris

update to this... It's not fixed at all... It now is working as a single slot cd player... Can loan and unload cd1 and play, but not load any more argggh. Got to book it into the local dealer... They don't seem that bothered about it as say it's a big job due to having to take the dash apart...

Thats rubbish its dead easy to take the dash part out that relates to the cd player, its about four screws i believe.

take the dash apart!?!!?!?! cant they just remove the cd player then!!? they're having a laugh. ford dealers are work shy (no offence 'local ford dealer' - just in my past experience of my local dealer (and my partners employer!!)

I not an expert on this, but I've never had any real problems with CD's in my previous ford players or in this one. Complitations and copied CD are a kind of grey area in the law (It not strictly legal but you can make a backup of your property). So I dont think its any kind of any priacy thing:
Anyhow, Here's a few hints that may help:-

1. Try to avoid using CD-RW stick with CDR's.
2. If you have a problem with a CD try dropping the recording speed down. The most realiable speed is single speed. (but that takes a while to do).

As for getting the CD out of the player, I think a previous post mentions disconnecting the battery for around an hour. Then try ejecting straight away. That seems to be a good plan.

I think there something in the Audio manual about reseting an overheated player.

My ole freestyle died with a 'compliation' CD in the drive, it had to go back to ford to be repaired (I got a reconditioned one back + my CD).

Good luck!

I've had trouble with the 6006 CD player in my Ghia, it kept skipping or not playing so had it looked at while there was still warranty (not that they found anything...). Though the few copied CDs I've played have worked fine (before I got these problems), I was told in no uncertain terms by a few people at the dealership that copied CDs were not ever to be used.

Anyone know about this one? - if you hold down buttons 3 and 6 it goes into a self test and does weird stuff!
