CD player failure
My first official problem - CD player will not play, nor eject any of the (6) CD's that are in the player. (3) are burnt CD-Rs (no labels), (3) are commercial CDs. It's been playing these CD's just fine since November when I got the car. Then all of a sudden, this past Friday, just doesnt work. It knows the CD's are in there, but when I try to play, it just blinks "Disc 2" or whatever disc it is for a good minute, then just gives up. Same deal with Eject. Took it in this morning and they verified that they have to order a new unit...supposed to arrive at the dealer in 3 or 4 days.
As an aside - got a 250 as a loaner (BWB w/ sterling interior). Immediately engaged ECT PWR, but, man, when your are used to driving the 350, the 250 just doen't cut it

I had a simular problem with my ML CD unit. It just stopped mid song. Then it would not play anything. I tried all of the CDs (all store bought) and none would play. I kept getting an error notice.
Then a day later it just started working again. it has been working fine for about two weeks.
Then today it just stoped playing again and it said check CD. I tried another CD and it worked? Maybe that was due to a scratch?
I didn't try to eject so I don't know if that works.
Tell us what the dealer says when you take it in. I want to do the NAV hack on mine but with my luck something will go wrong and the dealer will blame the NAV hack.

I had a similar problem last week...none of my disks would eject and it just sound like it's cycling through for about 30 seconds and then just give up.
I did a search on this site and found others who had similar problems; theirs being due to thicker disks (DVD's, MP3-CD's, etc.) getting stuck in the opening.
Lo and behold, I looked in my caddy opening, and a DVD was stuck in there, just protruding out a slight bit. I used a pair of tweezers and pulled it out. Never had a problem since...
I was freaking out, because it was a little after I did the Nav hack and I thought it was related. I was afraid I would have to bring it in and get warranty service on it, and they would find out I did the hack and it would be voided...
Anyway, that was my issue, and it's not happened since...
HTH,
