Hi all,

Not a major trauma I know, as the radio is usually off whilst I listen to the V8 soundtrack. However, when I ask the CDs to do their entertaining for me "error 70" comes up. Radio works just fine. Now I think there may be a possibility that this is a "clean your bloody CD!" message (why don't they just get the message to let you know the actual fault??!!!) but for all six CD's?!!!

1) Does anyone have any knowledge of this error and is it a simple fix?

2) If not a simple fix then can I take the Chim along to Halfrauds for them to fit a new Pioneer unit that matches the original or is it a job for a Tiv specialist?

Happy motoring guys and gals and many thanks for any help!! thumbup

Do you have a disc changer attached to it? I believe Error 70 is related to a multi-disc changer, usually a stop error when the disc has jammed in the mechinism. Perhaps it was changing when you went over a hard bump? If this is the case, I wouldn't think it would be too hard to take the top off the changer and remove the stuck disc but if its anything more serious then I would take it down to the local audio place.

I wouldn't have any worries getting Halfords to fit a new one if it comes to it. Despite their reputation, I have had pretty good service from them - you just need to make sure you're talking to an employee who knows what he's talking about. Chims aren't hard to work on audio-wise, and if you have a pioneer then its just a case of pulling the old one out, swapping the connector and slotting the new one in.

Nick is right it's a multi CD error.
Eject disc and try again could try turning player of and on.
