![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I've got an 01 CL-S and the CD Changer/Player started acting up with an intermittent ERR-R code problem which turned permanent 6 mos ago - 6 CD's are loaded and ALL are originals - they won't play or eject, and when I push the "CD" button, it gives me an ERROR message and switches to thje Stereo. I tried resetting the code, using a knife to dig at the CD's, etc... I consulted my Service Advisor - he looked at it, did the mini-screwdriver probe, said it usually happens with home-made labeled burned CD's and since they weren't, he concluded that the head unit was probably toasted.
So, I placed a "WTB" ad here, and got a replacement from a fellow member that removed it for an aftermarket upgrade. He was assured that it worked fine.
Upon installation today, I went to test it before putting everything back together, and what do you know!???... I'm STILL getting the "CHECK" then ERROR message.
So, the first thing I think is that I got ripped off for the unit. BUT, I can HEAR the CD player cycling and moving to reset after I plug in the PIN and push "CD" and "LOAD", so I know that the CD player is working! BUT, there is an error code coming thru - the Stereo and Tape Player still work fine - this is isolated to ONLY the CD player's function! ...I just don't get it!
Could there be a wiring short issue or a computer chip failure somewhere?
Is the CD Player hooked to the PCM or any other module that could be effecting it this way?
I'm am totally perplexed!!! This does NOT make sense!!!
Any intelligent insight would truely be appreciated!
Thanks

I had the same problem. Error code 1 (ERR-1) for the CD player but the radio and tape worked fine.
I was able to get the CDs to eject by continually playing with all the buttons and the eject button, don't ask me why it worked.
Did some research and found Bose only makes the amp & speakers, Alpine makes the radio and CD unit. Never got hold of Alpine because I called Acura customer care and they did a good will repair even though I was out of warranty (mileage, not time).
I had called the dealer first and they said $800 for a new one.
I later saw a post here by someone who had the same problem, and a local radio shop was able to fix it for around $50.
Seems to be a fairly regular problem. Since mine was taken care of for free, I never followed up on what was causing it. Good luck with yours.
