I just got an 04 TT with a stock navi setup. when I select the cd changer I get the error message "no cd changer". I have inserted a couple cds, checked connections and still same message. The cd changer was dealer installed after initial delivery. Obviously the battery has been replaced a few times. Is there any trick to having the head unit link to the changer? I did something before on my old unit in my '02 when I set up the aux input. any ideas?

As long as i am at it, is there a plug to connect my iphone as an mp3 player?

I really do not want to upgrade anything, I just want what I have to work.

Photos are coming when i can figure out how to upload to rennlist from my ipad.

Thanks

 

Just for the heck of it, disconnect all the connections at the cd changer, wait a minute or so and then reconnect. That has worked to "reset" mine in the past when I've had a similar issue.

 

P.S. what area in Philly are you around? I'm out of Lower Merion.

You can replace the cd changer input on the back of the head unit with an iPod cable. I think Becker makes one, maybe on eBay too.

 

I'll keep my eye out for you! I'm in Havertown all the time. As for the aux hookup, do a quick search here, I bought the cable from amazon for $15, took 2 minutes to install since I had the stereo removal tool. You do lose your cd changer capability however.

 

Well it was a bad battery. It was even under warranty. Less than 2 years old. You never know

 

My BMW X3 forgot it had an AUX function. It took a full software reflash to recover.
