Need help: CD player no sound and no error message
Hi,
I have an 04 with the Mark Levinson stereo. When you load a CD, it loads and then displays “track 1.” But it doesn’t play (no sound). There’s no error message. The radio and cassette player play just fine. Does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting?
Thanks!

I have had the player jam up on occasion. Felt lucky when the discs eventually ejected on their own. Those may be rudimentary but: have you ejected all discs? then maybe load 2 or 3? could be an unreadable disc. Make sure a standard CD, not a ripped cd r/w etc. Try a couple of them. If the CD laser died, you will need a new unit I imagine. But worth playing with it first

If you really need CDs (and I do, my XM antenna is failed) you can either add a CD2: I think there are inputs, but you'd have to install it. Or buy used on ebay. Probably easy for an auto sound store to install. I don't believe they are VIN locked. Or add a Grom or similar. The replacement Radio/CD .
