Default CD Error 3 problem

I know the headunit will more than likely have to be replaced The service guy I spoke to on the phone asked me if I have burned Cd's in the Unit. I said I may have one or two. He told me that is the reason why it is malfunctioning, and if it happens again they wont cover it under warranty. Is he right or is he an a**hole. I also made an appointment and they tell me Friday, I said great!!! The person says oh no not this Friday, Friday Sept. 12. Can I go to another dealer and have it fixed sooner? thanks

burned CDs should not cause a problem. He can't deny warranty for that. If he does, call AoA.

Default hahaha, he's being a dick. I had it happen to a store bought cd yesterday.

what dealer is this. ask people in your area where their best experiences have been. I tell you, My dealer is far better than what this sounds like. I go to my dealer to hang out when I'm in the area (130 miles away).

Default Re: CD Error 3 problem

that sucks, I live in NY, and so far every dealer i have been to has an attitude. As if they are doing me a favor everytime i walk in there. anyway all my cds are burned and i keep them in my cd player all the time..No problems.....although i heard some radios on the 2002 and newer audis have problems....my friend had a problem, and they told him it was because he tinted his windows......They will do anything to make it look like your fault.

Default I had one problem with my head unit...

Wasn't really Audi's fault. I was an idiot. I had a CD with a piece physicall missing from it. It broke off along time ago. Thinking that the CD player was like any other CD-ROM drive-like player, I stuck it in there and attempt to play a track (hoping it wasn't located in the area that was missing). Anyway, low and behold, i think i got the same error cuz i'm an idiot. Couldn't eject the CD, too. Had to bring it into dealer. They replaced the head unit right then and there and told me that they can't play with the head unit that my cd is stuck in...they needed to send it Audi and have them remove the CD and they'll just mail it to me.

In summary, I haven't had many problems at Biener Audi out in Great Neck, NY. Guys are usually nice about ****. Never had to go to any other dealership. my only complaint about Biener is that you've gotta wait forever to setup an appt with a loaner car.

As for burned CDs...that's all I play in my car too. This statement is not in defense for the Recording Industry Association of America but I kinda found that the sound quality from authentic CDs is much better than burned CD (those burned after converting mp3's to wav's). Is this so or do we need better bass in our stock speakers????

Ask him to show you the exact spot in the owner's manual where it prohibits the use of burned CDs.
