I have been having this intermittent problem with my Alpine CD changer in the trunk. Hope somebody here can help:

When the car is first started up, the changer will work for a while (about 15 minutes), then suddenly stops. The "No CD" message is displayed, and the stereo system reverts to radio operation. Once this happens, the changer no longer work regardless of what I try (the "Loading CD #" message is displayed for a while, then the "No CD" message comes on). But when the car is started up the next time I get on it, the changer will work again, until the same thing happens again. And this has been happening consistently (at least 4 or 5 times in a row now).

I have sprayed both connectors near the changer (the DIN type connector immediately after the changer, and the other one after the black 1"x1"x3" block some 10" away) with contact cleaner. That did not seem to help.

I am thinking of opening the changer up to see if a belt is lose or something. Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
