Factory CD changer question

[patrick_m]

Hi everyone! Just bought my first Boxster last week! It's a 1998 2.5L model. It's beautifully 100% original. Which also means it has the original trunk based CD changer. While I love that it's all original, I'll have to admit, the 1990's era stereo technology seems a little bit... clunky... by today's standards.

It took me a while to figure out how to load the changer, but I'm pretty sure I've done it right. However, only the first disc will play. When I press one of the numbers on the stereo to switch discs, it says there are no other discs to play. I tried reloading the changer with different CDs, and had the same results. First disc works fine, none of the others are recognized.

Any ideas what might be going on here? Is this a common problem? Is it possible I've just loaded the changer wrong? (I made sure to put the label side down on all of them).

Thanks for any suggestions!
