The radio in my 407 will not play CD's . It doesn't even recognise that it has a player . Everything else works and I have used the cd player before . I don't know if there is a fault or whether I have somehow deactivated the cd player . It isn't the end of the world but it would be nice if I could play a cd again . When I step through the modes the cd player doesn't come up at all . Any ideas would be greatly appreciated . Thanks , Keith
 
Did you replace the display ?

Fix it right the first time
 
Display has not been changed .
When I insert disc it remains in the unit but doesn't play . These are original discs not copies
 
Possibly the reading head is dead, but not sure if any radio error codes appear?

2 options I could suggest, pick up a cheap secondhand RT4, swap over and see if same result. If it works have it coded to your VIN to eliminate the beeping sound.

Or open the RT4 and replace the CD unit. Can be purchased from Aliexpress for less than $ US20 and hopefully that fixes the problem.

Maybe if you can have the car scanned with PP2000 there might be a error code from within the radio??

Better still forget the CD player, add an AUX lead and play everything through your phone, including all your ripped CD's.
 
rt4 radios already have aux in in the glovebox .

I would remove the unit burn it and piss on the ashes then just put in a android unit that will fit the dash .
These rt4s have been nothing but trouble if you buy a CD drive your hard drive will probably fail next .
