My wife has just bought a 2002 Audi A2 1.4 petrol(met black, red leather)with the optional Symphony audio installed, very happy with the car indeed...however, the HU will not play any CD`s, just showing an `error 1`on the display:( The dealer(not VAG) has been told about the problem, and will reimburse us the cost of repair. Before I book it in somewhere, has anyone got any ideas on this, or is there a reset or similar? Thanks in advance!:)
 
Error1 is indicative of a cd player (or changer) failure.

It'll probably be cheaper to source a Symphony from Ebay - they go for about £50 for a Symphony 2 in good order.

Cheers,

Well, tried a CD lens cleaner, and it played the intro on it!...now getting error 2 as well:( ...think it`s a HU out job now. So, my next question, how do you get these units out?:confused:
 
Hi VeedubvaGTi
You need a set of radio removal keys, available from VagParts- with extra discount if you have our Club discount card. Check their web site, I think they are listed in the sat nav section.
The attached link is about sat nav but shows the keys being used to remove the head unit

Thanks for that info, I may not need them yet. I asked about a price at an Audi stealer for a recon unit, £400 they said!!!...so that`s out of the question!! The wife phoned the other day and said that it had played a few tracks and stopped again. Really think the laser is goosed now, going to pop it down to a car radio shop at the weekend, they reckon if it is the laser it`ll be £80. Post back next week with the results
 
Car radio place has said the laser is whacked, but can`t get spares for these models, and I`d have to sent it back to Audi, but as previously said, I don`t think they`d repair it, just want me to do an exchange for a recon for £400, yeah right...just great:mad: Looks like it`s one of three options, either a new double din unit(cheapest I`ve seen is a Kenwood for £199) or get a Symphony on ebay, or get an adapter plate, and get a `normal` sized unit. Can`t believe you can`t get lasers for these units, thought they`d be a pretty generic part:confused:
