if it says pioneer it's aftermarket, so you probably have an rf converter turn the radio to fm and do a channel scan I bet it comes up in the low 90's or upper 80's

Yeah the stock unit should be a Delco one.

Looking for Error 60 on Google it's generally a reading error between the changer and the head unit. Suggestions ranged from checking with the manufacturer of the unit to possibly being the head unit as well.

I personally would search Pioneer's website for your model number of the changer and see if your are able to find the Error 60 code in their reference manual.

That's my best suggestion. Sorry I could not be more specific without knowing the model number of changer you have.

Its a factory head unit. I was reading the manual, and there is a #3 button that has the program and the the #4 has the random. well mine has a #3 as the random and no #4. But the manual said that the program (#3) button was to change to the disc changer. But i dont know I have a sony head unit im going to swtich. I think the connection is bad and the fact that the CD is burned. So il post later and see what i can figure out. THANKS FOR THE HELP THOUGH> Very quick response

ok. Everything seems to be hooked up fine. I should have just done the channel surf in the first place. when i turn the changer on the stereo loses a bit of signal and i do a channel search it goes to 89.1 everytime. But no for some odd reason none of my discs work. I have 5 in and it starts readin "12 READY" after 2 minutes of shuffleing it says "ERR60". I've googled "error 60 for pioneer" and anything i can think of and still nothing. I was informed the wife stuck the magazine in wrong way and she somehow got it out. But no pry marks or nothing internally wrong that i can see. Anymore ideas, this is killing me or is it just time for new changer.

Well obviously it is going to be a reading issue between the head unit and the CD Changer. I wish I could tell you which was more at fault than the other, but that is hard to do. Did you buy the Changer new or used?

Personally myself I would just go with a new HU and get one with a USB connection. I love my Pioneer 6000. I just hook up an 8gb USB key and all my music right there. I dont even keep any CDs in my car now

You can find them for $200-250 depending on where you look. Well worth it in my opinion

well honeslty i think its f'edand it was already in the car. I guess ill replace it can i use all these other wires or do i have to run new ones. They sucked. I pulled the radio out and it was a mess who ever did it. Wires were wrapped in tape, and the antenna cables that are hooked up there was like 7 extra ft just laying in there. GOD. but thanks guys ill get a new one and if it dont work Ill know i just wasted money. lol
