Hi. I have a 1999 Audi A6 Avant with the Symphony radio (tape, cd, and cd changer). For some reason a week or so ago my cd changer and cd do not work. When I push the button for CD or CD Changer nothing happens. Usually if I push CD Changer it would switch from radio to whatever was playing in my changer. Now nothing happens when I hit either button. I have tried pulling the radio out and reseating the harnesses in the back but that didnt do anything. If anyone has any ideas please let me know; I am missing all my books on CD!!

Thank you

 

I have a 1998 A6 2.8 C5 with the standard radio/casette and 6 disk changer in the trunk. The CD player started reading No CD. I figured the CD player, purchased new from dealer in 2002, was shot. I took out the magazine, disconnected the negative battery terminal, removed the CD player. There are four screws, two on each side, and you need a short phillips head to get to them. Disconnected the plug. Just for no reason I decided to blow out the CD player with air.
I reconnected the battery, turned on the radio for a minute. Turned it off, connected the CD player. Put two clean CDs in the magazine, loaded it, turned on the radio and I was shocked to see it worked.
You can then slide it back in connect one screw just to hold, then if after it works for a few days, put the other screws in.
