CD player not working

[Ciderman1]

New XF woe no.2!

Just tried the CD player today and it didn't grab the CD, in fact it did nothing all.

I might... might have pushed the CD into the slot and there it stayed, pressing eject just gave me a No Disc message on screen.

This is the Incontrol touch Pro system.

I can't find anything online about the fault, or a fix for that matter 

Anyone have any ideas?

Is there a fuse I should be looking at?

Could try the fuse, but could be knackered. Did you not just purchase the car, could try get the dealer to fix, suspect they won't but worth asking.

Sorry cannot be more help.

I can't really engage with the dealer.

I've had an issue with damage to the catalytic converter which they claim happened in the six days I've had it, and they won't cover the replacement.

As a result I am having it independently checked and then opening a dispute with the regulator against them.

The CD player is probably bunched 

Which is crazy, I own CD players that are 30 years old, which still work!

Just as an update to this, the seller was of no use to me at all.
I ended up replacing the catalytic converter myself, so that was expensive but had to be done.
The CD player remains out of commission and  it is quite annoying.
 

When I press the eject button, the screen simply informs me that there isn't a disc inserted, so the power is getting to it.
I imagine the sensor/switch that detects the disc and loads/unloads it from the mechanism isn't working.

Hoping still there might be a fix that doesn't involve a trip to the dealer or pulling the dashboard out

What was the result of the dispute opening with The Regulator.

Ah, yes.
In the end it was cheaper and quicker to just take care of it myself.
The seller was going to fight it and it was going to cost me money to do that.
So, it worked out around €700 to buy the part from a breakers and have it fitted.

So I didn't go to the courts or the regulator, to be honest I have a lot of things going on over the past year and just didn't have the mental space to fight over it.

And, with the CD player, it is a comparatively minor thing but it is damn irritating

as long as the outcome suited you, that is all that matters.

Best Wishes and Regards, John

More woes 😞

Injector failure a couple of months ago cost me about €300.

Failure of two more is costing me somewhere in the region of €3000, as the turbo had to be reconditioned, a replacement DPF found and the engine rebuilt.

The injector failure also resulted in carbon monoxide in the cabin which nearly killed my wife and I on the road 

Oh, and the CD player still doesn't work!
