Ok, i've still got the standard Ford headunit in (4500 i think off the top of my head??) only had the car since september. Today i've been listening to a cd, gone to eject it, and nothing happens. It fails to eject the cd, and displays CD Error on the display....

SO guess where the cars going to be going

They might aswell fix some other problems whilst they're at it aswell.

So it's not only the 6006 unit that does that then. I dont think the dealership can fix the radio they will prob send it away to be repaired.

Sorry to hear tha Marc. Quite a few people have had probs with their 6006 units with this happenning (though fortunately not myself touchwood).

It wasn't a CD-R or CD-RW you had in at the time by chance was it? Its just that thats mainly (but not always) when people have had this problem before.

Are the 4500 and the 6006 made by the same company?

It was indeed a CD-R

What sort of turnaround time do you think its likely to be? if they send it away.

I couldn't say 100% but given that they are very similar units, I think the main difference is that the 4500 is a single CD player, I would imagine that it, like the 6006, will be made by Visteon.

I'd expect to be waiting weeks as it will probably be sent back to the manufacturer (visteon in the case of the 6006, not sure who makes the 4500)

Would ford leave me with the car to drive still? Presumably just leaving a nice empty space?

Could be quite a while. I know that in a few cases where they've had to order a replacement unit, people have waited ages, in one case as long as five weeks!!

No reason why they shouldn't. Its not a problem with the car itself, even if it is a pain not having a stereo in.
