Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / April 2005CD Changer
Hi ...We've just purchased a Nissan Primera that has the (I think its the Alpine, but I could be wrong..hubby is @work so I'm not sure) CD changer and it is showing as an "CD Error" on the stereo LCD whenever we want to use it, we have looked in the handbook that came with the car but it just says "if this prob persists contact Nissan Dealer" of course we dont know if it is just our incompetance at using this as it is all new to us.....hubby is gonna be taking the cd changer out to look see if there is any cd's from previous owner stuck in the unit when he gets home from work...........the unit won't eject either so my guess is that there is one stuck or its naff !!.,.. but your opinions would be very welcome please TIA Cal What year and model primera? I know my 1994 SGX model had a Clarion head unit/changer. If that's the case, I'll post more about my trials and tribulations a little later... Cya Simon > What year and model primera? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Cya > Simon Sorry..silly me.should have put this on the first posting but my excuse is........I am a Woman !!...lol..........it is a Primera 2.0 TD SE 1999...lovely car..... all the gadgets and gizmos like leather heated seats on board computer etc etc.....lol Cal >> What year and model primera? >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Cal My mistake yes it is a Clarion CAA 355 ....just found out from the hubby TIA >>> What year and model primera? >>> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > TIA That's actually the CD Magazine then... not the CD Changer... Look under/behind the CD Changer for the Model number! Or it might be on the front flap... http://www.clarionworld.co.uk/stock/cd_mag.asp My guess therefore though, you might have a CDC634 or CDC635 - a little silver CD Changer, or it might be something branded by Nissan... I don't know Im afraid. Never done any major work with that one. I used to have an old CD Changer, that the rollers would become stuck and not push the CD back into the magazine to eject... so I would get a small knife and just encourage the CD back in, which would eject the CD magazine and I could then dust off the rollers. I had to replace my CD Changer after a while as it just got "stuck", rusted, and mistreated and stiff. I wouldn't recommend this with your CD player, since it's a completely different mechanism to the one Im familiar with... but I've got some instructions at home, I'll see if there's some kind of emergency release or something! You could always buy one off eBay... if you have a the round C Bus type of connector, look for CDC634 on eBay... you can buy replacement changers for anywhere between £10 and £50. Im selling one myself as a matter of fact, but I wont provide a link cos I don't want to spam. Cya Simon > That's actually the CD Magazine then... not the CD Changer...

Cal > Thanx for taking the time out to answer me simon..........The model > no' is PN2144F ......Those are the only numbers we can find on the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > hubby is electrician so he knows what he's doing with wires and > things !! Hehe. No wires to connect as such to these things if it is a proper Clarion... Just connect a lead from head unit to CD Changer, that should already be there if there's a CD Changer. This lead carries all the power and grounding and audio it needs! Just "plug and play" with a bit of drilling holes if needs be to mount it correctly. I personally just stick mine on a shelf at the back, vertically sitting behind a strap in the boot, with a sponge between the car and the changer, which gives a bit of angle to load and unload the thing, and provides extra cushioning for those bumpy roads! Now, CD Changers, you can get them new: http://www.clarionworld.co.uk/stock/cdc634.asp Or from eBay: http://search.ebay.co.uk/CDC634 Hope that helps. Of course, if you don't get any joy, you could always unscrew the thing and have a look around inside, see if a CD has got stuck. Other thoughts than run through my mind... is it a tape head unit, or a CD head unit? If it's a CD head unit, could be that the CD changer isn't connected, and it's complaining about the CD in the head unit. If it's a tape head unit, well, then at least you know it can see the CD Changer! Cya Simon > Hehe. No wires to connect as such to these things if it is a proper > Clarion...
