Why has the cd player has stopped working,it only goes from tape to radio and back again.

So, maybe it's time to get away from the used junk and buy a new aftermarket radio.

Usually it is the drive unit for the CD. The linear tracking device that drives and guides the CD read laser is not tracking. Usually when this happens there is NO fixing it. You might just have to bite the bullet and get a new head unit.

My cd player had stopped playing my burnt CD and the dealer ship just replaced it. But then it happend again and I was ridding just listening to the radio for about 3-4months, VERY BAD, until I just took out the fuse for a few minutes and that just reset the radio and spit the cd back out. This may work for you.

your radio is shot, and the cd and tape player still works. You have to buy a new radio if you want to listen to a radio.

sounds like your car has the multi function steering wheel, i know on the 7 and 5 series they come out of sync, im not sure why.
its about £75 to get plugged in at the dealers and they reprogram it, sometimes i have had the odd car with a damaged slip ring, it does all sorts of things, 1 in particular kept on beeping the horn,
i would say if u got 1 urs got upset when battery flat.

The only way to get the car out of transport mode is for the dealer to plug the car in to the main diagnostic terminal and download the software to activate all of the control modules. This has to be done to all new cars arriving from the factory.
As your car is a 1994 this reason is highly unlikely for the radio to off stopped working.
It sounds to me that the actual radio tuner has given up, in short you may need a new radio.

if the tape player works fine and no static u most likely have a problem with your ground,check to see if your radio is getting good ground and also check the antenna unscrew the two bolts on top of the car and carefully pull the antenna upwards and check the wire connected to a piece of metal where the screw goes (if good) add another ground to your radio.
