Head Unit Problems
Head Unit Problems
I need help. I've searched and searched and as far as I can tell everything says this should work.
I have a new style '04 F-150 XLT with the factory single disc CD head unit. I've tried swapping in two different 6 disc players. One out of a 2005 and one out of a 2004 F-150.
Everything works except for the CD changer. It says "slots full" when I push the load button. And when I push eject it says "Eject Error". Also, when I push the CD button it says "Disc Error".
It does the exact same thing on both replacement 6 disc units. But everything else, like the radio and controls work fine.
Any idea's? I thought the first was maybe just a jammed changer, but now they both do it so I'm clueless?

Anybody have any ideas? I'm running on borrowed time here.
How many plugs do I need to make the 6 CD Changer work?
My truck only has one harness, it has a large rectangle connector on it.
My stock unit has two plug ins, a small square one and a long rectangle one.
The six disc has three, a long rectangle one, a small square one and a smaller square one.
What do I need to make it work right? I cant find anything to make it work, I just searched for "Changer" in the HU section and read everything I could find about the 6 disc unit but nothing was helpfull.
Thanks,
Brian

Is the head unit the "Audiophile" unit? The unit has MP3 capability plus a subwoofer capability,plus Aux capability(for DVD unit). Try a thread search,there are several threads on programming/flash changes,who to call,etc.
I work for a salvage yard. They are out of other F-150's. I think it is just that the units were jammed from the accidents they were in.
I also found out that they were both equipped for a sub which I dont have. So I gave up and started looking for a radio without the Sub connection. I got to thinking about that right after it was mentioned here.
Thanks for the replys.
