hi all picked up my e53 x5 the other day and after my audi estate its a much nicer ride but, its falling to bits. fixed the hedgehog after researching this common problem.

Now the business cd player thing wont except music cds, should it? is there a fault with these?
or is there a process to go though to load the cd?

it doesnt have a cd changer and has stumped me.

thanks joe

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Firstly, what is the build year of your E53
Is it a facelift or pre facelift.
Has it got factory sat nav or has it got the single slot CD and MID unit.
It helps other members help you easier if you put your car details in your signature/ profile.

Hi Joe,
you got the same vehicle as me... but mine is a 2004 3.0 D- Sport.

the autochanger lives UNDER the Navigation Disk player...
if its the same set-up, it will have a 6 disk module you pop all 6 disks into & then load them back into the changer, then slide the cover shut & you're away... after selecting CD mode at the radio...

Im wondering if you are trying to load a music disk into the navigation disk reader  ?

More information please ?

That's the single shot CD. Should just pop it in and it starts to play so I guess there's a problem with the mechanism.

You do like it hot in your car don't you!!!!

Shame it's not a facelift, as I've got a CD single slot player out of a facelift (55 plate )
The quad-lock is different, so they are not interchangeable.
