The CD changer in my car anyway, sucks to say the least. I'll be having my second brand new unit put in within the next week or so.
The first incident happened @ about a year old; I wasn't able to load any discs. Got a brand new one. The most recent happened a week ago; I loaded 1 disc, it made a scratching sound (parts moving inside), started playing w/ same scratcing noises, tried to eject and can't come out. Press load, it says insert disc 1 (my first disc is in limbo!).

Yeah mine has the same problem... i started a thread about this a while back.. and found out i wasn't the only one with this problem... it will skip, static or not even load. when it doesnt load i cant use the CD changer at all... radio only
I was thinking today that i need to call and schedule a service for them to replace this piece of sh##. Anyway, good luck.

i agree - try a different brand of CD-R's. some brands work, and some brands have that loud static behind them. i don't think it's a function of quality, since the ones that work in my car are cheap-o's. so don't go out and by "high-end" name brand CD-R's, because those might not work either.
i've used memorex also - those work well.
