Open up your Honda Manual Booklet thing. And find your Activation Code for the radio. Then Disconnect your battery terminals for 5 Mins. Then put em back on. Start up car, put in Code and see if it works :S

It does sound wiring related though because of the sudden stop. Check the back of the radio and see if any of the plugs have come loose.

Im in perth too, and can come have a look if nothing works.

thanks!! ill give it a try

Is it a seperate Honda CD unit or is the cd/radio/cassette all one unit?

If it is seperate there is a cable that links the two units that may be cause of your trouble.

As KB said it does sound like a wiring issue especially if everything else is working.

go to jb-hi-fi or any other shop like that and purchase a cd player which doesnt play tapes because the tape casset thing just ****s up your player ans sound quality on the whole system =]

[melissa]

ok ive just pulled out my dash, checked all the wires are properly connected, disconected the battery, as someone suggested.....but still theres nothing happening with the cd player....

before i put my dash back in, does anyone know what could be wrong???

[melissa]

oh and i checked all the fuses, so it cant be those either

your cd player is the one at hte bottom right and the radio is at the top... if you have chekced all your cables and all ur fuses are okay.. i think it might be time to say good bye to the cd player as it might of had its days of playing normal cd's and telling you it wants an upgrade..

Im sorry to hear about the ex-bf and taking ur rims... if he gave them to you, they are yours to keep =)

[melissa]

its all working now!!! yay, lol dont know what i did, but i rechecked everything, started it up, and it worked!! must be on the way out....time to start saving for the in dash dvd i think!

[dfekm3]

might of have been somehting lose and when you ripped it all appart and checked it probably reconnected it.. but congratz that u got it working..

Time for some serious bling bling saving for the indash... you dont need it but just a wank feature we all love to have in our cars...

Watching music clips is always the way to go LOL
