Chad is Dead Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I have a 00 pontiac grand am. Recently it only gets certain radio stations. I always have wnci and the blitz but other then that I'm lucky if I get any other stations. And my cd player has started to make a loud sudden scratch noise and then stop playin the cd. Other times I put a cd in and it just says error and spits it back out. It all used to work fine. Any clue what could be wrong before I go have to buy a new stereo? Thanks!

Lustalbert Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Radio Reception : antena conection probably came loose. CD error: lens probably needs cleaned. Meijer sells cleaning dics. Or go all out, have someone open the case up and do alcohol and a q-tip on the lens. BTW, is this a factory theft lock radio, or is this an aftermarket? You will need the theft lock code if you remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaSSon Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 you can also try a car on compressed air. Stick it in the CD slot and spray away. You can get them at any computer store, or sometimes in meijer/kroger in the electronics section. Make sure not to turn it upsidedown while you're spraying it.
