I'm guessing this belongs here... if not, I'm sorry....
For the first time since early spring, I stuck in a CD into my radio on my E46 328i. There was no sound initially until perhaps 15seconds in, then it began to make a sound every few seconds. Kinda sounded like a CD skipping, just not recovering. I thought perhaps it was a warped sun damaged CD. Yesterday, I made a brand new CD, inserted it, same deal.
So now it's a WTF moment. Could it be that the player needs cleaning? If so, how? I really do not want to replace the head unit. Everything works like it should (aside from the CD player), refering to the controls on the steering wheel and radio. Also, any other unit would just look out of place on my dash.
So what's the census?
