Default 03 C5Z CD Player Not Working

I have a 2003 Z06 with a CD player that displays error for each and every CD that is inserted. Is replacing with a stock unit the best route?

Any advice is welcome. Thank!

Easy fix..... clean the laser.

I have a full procedure on my web site.

www.ToqueZ06.com

I have already cleaned mine twice in 10 years and it fixed it both times.
The laser just builds up junk.
Kinda like the film that builds up on the inside windows.
You eventually have to clean it.

Thanks Toque!
I will give it a try when the weather here in northeast WI gets a little warmer.

I'm thrilled with the Clarion setup I got from Dennis.

If you pull your radio for any reason, suggest you consider an iPod adapter. DD sells them also.
