Re: Is my Pioneer CD changer strange? Or is it me? (archive)

I have the same set-up and this seems to be the way things work. Occasionally, the cd player actually did start when i started the car and turned on the radio. I find pressing the scan button ususlly gets things going. I called the adapter company months ago but got very little support.

I just installed a Pioneer CDX-P650 6 disc changer (with the BMWPHILA 0190 Adapter) that I purchased from AutoToys.
It basiclly works fine. Except I have difficulty getting the CD chnager to start playing a CD.

When I turn the radio on (standard Business Radio), The display will show something like - 5-02 (disc 5 track 2). But I have a hard time getting the player to start. I can always get it going, but it takes a lot of fiddling with various buttons. I've been doing a lot of experimenting and there doesn't seem to be a consistant way to get the changer to run. Sometimes if I press the "next track" button 2 or 3 times, it will start. Sometimes I have to press the "CD" button to swith to the integrated CD-player, and the press it again to go back to the changer, and then press the "next track" button.
Once the changer finally starts, it behaves fine.

Anybody else have a problem like this? Or am I missing something?
