I was bored and tired of getting a error 4 while stuck in traffic, so I put a swith in the glovebox that is inline with the Acc power to the radio. Now when I get a error 4 all I have to do is flip the swith on and off. Like magic the cds will play again.
Took 5 min too do.

 

good idea. have you tried going to dealer? they should replace it.they did for me. dont put up with that crap.

 

GOOD IDEA!!! Do a DIY so i can do it to. Yeah i thought about going to the dealership to get it fix but i remembered i changed the leds for the 6 cd changer.

 

yeah a lot of those 05's would get an Error 4.. definitely an internal circuit problem.. i like your DIY, but yeah i'd say make the dealer give you a radio that actually works correctly.

 

I bought the radio for a sl user , a year ago so I can't take it to the dealer. I will right up a DIY later today.

 

Which is error 4 again?

 

Error 4 = excess current flow

that means there is a short inside the radio and it's not regulating the flow of current inside.. not a good thing
