CD220 Problem - 4 (Loub) beeps then nothing

[rob76turbo]

Title pretty much says it all! Driving, listening to my iPod through the CD Changer audio outs, then suddenly there were 4 very loud beeps (almost like an alarm) than nothing.... I pushed the "on" button...nothing. Got home, cycled the key in the ignition, pushed the on button, it looks like a faint background light come one, but nothing else. Seems the radio gave up the ghost.

Any thoughts / ideas? Sorry about the miss spelled word on the subject....should be Loud...not loub. Fat fingers!!!

Thanks in advance.

I have had this happen in my 02 996 when playing CD's. If I depress the "on" button for about 5 seconds continuously it comes back on. Take a look in your radio manual, perhaps it may contain some info.

As with all integrated circuit parts - the logic circuit within the components may have got confused, simple disconnect of power - either to the radio unit or remove the battery cable - then reconnect (have you radio cade ready if pre 2003 car) is all may need to do.
