MD Flashing

Post by NATFTO »

Hey All

Ive had a problem with my MD player that came with my '95 FTO ... the third light ALWAYS flashes! and as a result I cna play MDs!! (I know what your thinking, who the hell plays MDs anymore....but if its a quick/easy fix...then I sure as hell want to play my old school stuff...rather than it sitting in my room collecting dust)

thanks

Is it one of these?

If so, I guess parts manufactured around 1995 can't last indefinitely. Did this occur all of a sudden or did it do this every so often?

My best suggestion is to simply upgrade to a late model aftermarket head unit, it's what a lot of us have gone and done :)

Stands for Mini Disc.

Ive got a few of the old stock units. Not sure if one is a mini disc though. Have CD stock changer and some aftermarket units with Mini disc

    Mini Discs are epic!

    :hb:

    Lol at not knowing MDs, they're only 21 years old.

    I still have my MZR30 and MZR90.

    EDIT: keep forgetting what decade it is. :lol: :lol: :lol:
