I also had issues with my cd player. After inserting cd the player window announced for me to insert a disc. I ejected and tried again. Still it would not identify the cd as being loaded. I tried original cd's (brand new 1st time being played & older) as well as homemade copied cd's. None would read. This was only 5 months after purchased brand new. The cd player never worked again, however the radio did work fine. The dealer completely replaced the entire radio/cd/mp3 player after inspecting & found "internal failure".
I have had my Equinox for almost 4 months. I can't play a cd in the cd player. It starts to play and then skips and won't play the cd. I have tried playing a variety of cd's and I can't get them to work. It has worked up to this point. But now it won't work at all. It spits out the cd after it skips and won't play. Anyone else have this happen?.
