I would stop using those CD-R discs. In my experience, most of the loading or jamming issues with the 6006E unit have involved these CD-R discs. :wink:
Not sure what exact problem yours is displaying. :? Does the unit show a error code when it can't play the disc? :?
It might be worth consulting your dealer for further advice, even if it is not a warranty issue.

I have just bought one off Ebay and awaiting its arrival.
I will give it a good ol' test when it gets here and see if i can replicate the problem.

Audio CD-Rs have absolutely no problems at all, except those with labels (BAD idea).

Turned mine on as I was going down a bumpy stretch of road, and it started skipping really badly, so I ejected the disc whilst I was sat at the lights, the unit eventualy took it bak in when it gave up waiting for me to take it and then it worked perfectly all the way back to the office:)
(and as mentioned in another htread, Bullitt is great to listen to as you wind your way through some hilly back streets when the sun is out )

Im pretty sure mine is knackered as the cds that are playing up have no problem wat so ever in my home stereo, my pc or other cd players in my house. I used to have the 6000 head unit and that never ever played up and didnt ever struggle with a cd.
So do you think that if i go into Ford they will be able to swap it for a new one without any trouble or will i be screwed cos i dont have origianl warranty info as i bought it second hand??

Aren't the blue backed CD-R's the worst quality ones though? I believe it goes
Blue
Silver
Gold
in that order. (not sure where black fits in ) I've always used Philip's Silver ones.....80mins and very cheap
Never had a problem with em! It might be worth keeping in mind the fact that each CD-R(W) rom writes at different dephs on the discs and dependant on the quality of the laser on your CD player, depends how well it wil read it. Possibly, due to space restrictions on the 6006, the laser isn't as good as say your home system or the 6000.
Another possability is that the laser has got a little mucky. This would cause the CDs to skip, play junk and generally refuse to read CDs. I'd always take the CD player apart and clean it with alcohol. Maybe one of those CD cleaners might be worth trying too before you try ford?

CDR's and any other type of copied cd's are thicker than normal cd's and this is what causes them to jump, skip, jam or not work at all :evil: .
I mentioned this to fords and if you say that you use CDR's it voids their warranty on the stereo (Silly Me!) Got to take it to a different dealers and tel them that i don't use CDR's and see if i can get a replacement!
