Screwy CD changer E90

My car's CD changer keeps getting stuck every 2nd or so time I play CDs. I use all original CDs straight from the shop so it's not a question of CD quality. Are Bmw's CD players all hyper-sensitive or is it just mine. I have to blow on the CDs and wipe them every time it gets stuck!! :mad:

My CD changer don't have this problem but skips once in a while. I think it can be solve by upgrading the software which I plan to do it on my next visit. Can yours play MP3?

silver31,

Not sure never tried, does it make a diff?

what is that alpine701?
it is the headunit....
 
Re: Screwy CD changer E90

so if I put in this head unit the CD changer will stop getting stuck?

In that case where do I get it?

hi Bro, the Alpine H701 is a sound processor designed to tap fm OE (our factory original signals), and give it full functional control (equalizer, time alignment, 5.1, dts, etc.) basically audiophile standard. Of course you will need your amps and speakers to make it a full system...
so it is
OE-> crappy
OE-> amps+subs: slightly better
OE-> H701->amps+subs: welcome to world of bottomless pit ICE...:)

Sorry bro, doesn't help you here ... heh heh... but come to think of it, i think i will try to get hold of one of those alpine mp3 changers to try out. in case u guys didn notice, our OE headunit is made by Alpine... though i am not sure of the compatibility of the current Alpine mp3 changers to our OE unit, coz i do not think they are running AiNet (as used on most current Alpines...)

for your case, i'm sure u r under warranty. go get them to change it. worse case, request for swap with the display unit car lor...

yep! btw, i had a previous thread on this as well... me using this with stock (OE) headunit. the control panel is kept (completely hidden) in the sunglass compartment (above the ashtray). another bro here uses the same 701, but i think he changed his headunit to the Alpine one (but he loses the steering audio control then). mine operates as per stock condition... only that the sound makes me smile... :)
