Cd player inactive fault

[a6blacked007]

Hi all 

 

We have a a4 b8.5 saloon 2012 and everytime we start car it says cd player inactive please contact audi bla bla ...

 

We don't even use it anyone else had this issue. 

 

Maybe my lovely 3 year old has stuck something in there 🤔

 

Regards mark

Thanks Mark. 
‘Anyone else had this issue?’ 
If you know something has been stuck into yours, then it’s fair to say that’s what is wrong with it -? 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Maybe worth taking it apart and having a look inside ...

You could try a head unit reset. But I'd suspect there's something stuck or the sensor to indicate there's something stuck has failed. 

Am I right in thinking the cd player is in the glovebox? 

If so it might just be easier to source a second hand unit off eBay
