This is my first posting. I have an 01 Lariat with single CD (factory) and when I go to swap discs they don't want to load. You hear a 'click, click, click' then it ejects. If I put in a disc first thing when vehicle is started (cool or cold) it will load a CD and as long as you have a CD in the unit it plays fine.

What is the problem with this unit? Time for me to upgrade to aftermarket head unit? (I'm guessing so.)

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks

 

In dash CD systems generate alot of heat. Your system may be malfunctioning when it heats up. It could have dirt and grime that is becoming sticky when it gets hot. You can try using compressed air to blow out the dirt. If you have the ability to remove the unit from the dash and do some cleaning, that might also help. Short of that, yes, it probably is time to replace it.
