Becker CD220 is killing me

[karlc42]

Hi,

New to the forum - 2002 Boxster.

I'm sorry my first post is a gripe but I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. My Becker HU simply 'locks up' when playing a CD. What I mean by locks up is just that. Not a single button will function. Now the CD plays and it plays at the volume that you were listening at but you are stuck. The only thing you can do is eject the CD but then you are stuck listening to the radio at the station it was last set to.

What gets me is that I can't even power it off! I once turned the ignition off and restarted the car to no avail. I wonder if I somehow screwed the system up by trying to play a CD-RW the first day I got the vehicle.

Love the car, hate the radio. I'm looking at a Nakamichi CD500 or something to replace it in the Spring.

Thanks.
