HELP! Shaker 500 wont read discs
Car was built on 6/16/05 - i didnt think it was the "Problem" Shaker
i have had no real problems with it...a couple times it would lock up but that was it
on wednesday i used a Laser Lens Cleaner (RCA DISCWASHER) then yesterday it wouldnt recognize the discs (this includes ALL burned MP3 discs, burned Audio discs, & Studio audio discs)
the only disc that works is the laser lens cleaner (it has audio instructions on it)
anyone have any clue?

That happened to my Shaker 500.
It simply quit playing CDs one day.
Didnt matter if it was brand new store bought CD or burned CD. Didnt make a different - it wouldn't play.
The dealer replaced it and it's doing better.
I'm sure it'll break again some day.

Mine is broke too- It plays em- but continually reloads and goes static and spits em out as bad. I replaced the shaker with an XM because I am on Shaker #2.

i bought the "Cars" soundtrack on sunday and loaded it...first 20 seconds of Sheryl Crow's song...PERFECT
then it was skipping
and this was after i pulled the fuse for the radio in my distribution box and left it out for a bit :arg:

Yeah these things really suck when they don't work. I would call your dealer and tell them about it they will replace it ASAP. I know not everyone has time for this but once they stop working there is no 'fix'. Elanores Mine has had the worst luck with them, I am on number 2 and it works about 98%.

they still said they had to look at it

i dont want to drive there to have them tell me "hey you need a new radio" when i told them that

My Car stereo rep is in MWF from 8-10 am. Coffee drinking time. I had such a PITA last time, it is just a hassle at this point.
I just gave up on it. I don't use it anymore, so screw it.
