My 95 does that too.  I've found that giving it a good smack temporarily fixes it.

My stock head unit would not keep correct time.  It had a mind of its own.  This is when I opted for an Alpine.  I should have done this when I first got the truck.

My brother's did the same thing...you can get the unit replaced if it is still under warranty.  His wasn't, so he went out and bought an aftermarket one.  Only problem was right before he installed the new one, the factory one started working again.  Smack it around some...

Here is what I know...

 

If ERR appears then:

 

You are driving on a bumpy road and the disc won't read, or

 

The disc is in upside down, or

 

The disc is dirty scratched or wet, or

 

It is very humid (wait and try again later), or

 

The CD player is hot.

 

Press the "Recall" button to make the message go away.

 

(Also I have occaisionally had problems playing discs that I have burned myself.)

Same here.

 

It only happens when I am using a crappy CD, or ones that I burned.

 

Maybe the laser pickups are dirty, try a "laser lens cleaner". It might help. Most cleaners recommend cleaning CD players for every 8 to 10 hours of playing time.

 

Mine get cleaned every ......Well.....

 

....Maybe I should do that.

Try reading and burning your cd's at the slowest possible speed...worked for me.

Mine was loc  locking quite often and so since it was under warranty that is what I did, took it in and had it replaced. Knock on wood, no problems since.  If it is a warranty item let them deal with it otherwise try the above idea's.

No way I would pay a dime for the junk CD player that comes with our trucks. I trashed mine and bought a Jensen MP3 player and used the space for storage. Love the new player. Now got to get rid of the stock speakers so I can have some real sound.
