2004 Audi A4 concert CD player noise

[Torgeir Jakobsen]

Hi,
I recently bought an Audi A4 2004 model. This car has an Audi Concert
stereo. The problem is that the cd player has a "clicking" noise when it
starts and stops the CD player. It has also got problems to find back to the
track were it was stopped.
The Audi car dealer changed the player to a new one (new from factory they
said), but it this player is worse than the old player. Do anyone know if
these players has some kind of known weakness? This player is probably made
by either Grundig or Blaupunkt, first I thaugt is was Blaupunkt but last
time I checked it came up as a Grundig player.

I assume your using original CDs and not copies? Does it happen on all CDs?
I've had issues with copied CDs in the past in our car's Symphony player.

If you are using original CDs I'd push to get the player changed again.
Another option is to upgrade to a Symphony unit but you will need to get a
double DIN cradle and modify the climate control panel.
