I get the message "No valid disk inserted" or something like that when I try to play a cd on my Bose single disk navigation oe head unit. Coincidentally [?] I just let my xm radio subscription lapse. Any thoughts on whether the two are related? The car is under warranty so I plan on taking it in to be repaired when I have time, but if there's any easy fix, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks

I would find it hard to believe they are related. Are you inserting a regular CD or an MP3 CD? Have you tried more than one?

I'm not sure but my first question to the dealer would be, do these radios have a SECURITY CODE CLEAR procedure?

I guess it could be possible but wouldn't be very nice, but it may have gotten screwed up when your XM shut down.

Call the dealer.

Let us all know what fixed it!!

Many times I've found either the CD has dirt or something on it or it got scratched. Have you tried several CD's and all the same thing? If so then it's dealer time....

I'd try using a lens-cleaning disc first. That may not remedy your problem but they're good to use periodically and who knows...it just might work. Good luck!

Hammerman

Same thing has happened to me a few times with one CD and after several attempts to play, it will. Could be the disc info that the player does not like?

runutzzzzz

Did you try another disc? As others posted is this a burned disc?

jimmie jam

i got the same message when i tried to play an incorrectly burned 3MP disc. sounds like this could be your problem.

MagnaBob

Sorry, I should have provided this information. I have tried numerous disks, none of which were burned. They were all purchased. The cd player in my Vette previously played them. They work fine in my other car. Thanks for the input!

MagnaBob

I'm familiar with disk cleaning kits but I didn't even know they had lens cleaning disks. Think they'd sell them at Best Buy or such? Thanks

it's not your discs, it's the head unit. I have the same problem and its completely random. It doesn't matter what CD i put in; burned, store bought, etc. Take the car to the dealership, my guess is they will have to replace the headunit. I know it's a bummer, but my '06 does the exact same thing. Friggen obnoxious.

Since it looks like you have tried several "non-burned" cd's , I would say it is an internal problem with the cd player. This means that the player will either need to be sent out for repair or replaced. If it is still under warranty, I believe the dealer goes the replacement route, but i am no sure. You might want to call or stop by you dealer to find out since it will have to be ordered first if they go the replacement route.

Take her in to the dealer.

Is it an MP-3 you made or a store bought CD? If its store bought ,try another and if it dont work the Cd player is at fault. What year vette. If an 05 with Nav Mp-3's will not play
without a dealer flash. Even than' the CD /MP3 is very particular on how it plays a homemade CD.

FortMorganAl

Probably. Radio Shack and even WalMart has them. I've used them but they can sometimes do as much damage as help. They have brush fibers glued to the disk. The problem is they can put enough force on the head to misalign it. I've had good experience just blowing canned air into the area (no disk inserted). If canned air doesn't work and the problem is consistent, and under warranty, then, IMHO, the dealer is the best option.

stupid question....did you put it in the correct slot?? someone hadda ask

*FAÇADE*

. . . I was thinking the same thing!

slvr 07

i hate to say it, but it sounds like dealer time......

goatts

Had to have the head unit replaced on mine

MagnaBob

Hey, no offense taken. I thought about that and made sure I was putting it in the cd slot, not the dvd.

I think it's probably dealership time. Just hope it's not a recurring problem.
