Does anyone know why my car CD player won't play?

Question:
I have a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder and I haven't been able to play CD's in for about 1 1/2 years. When I put a CD in, it just spits the CD out and says 'Error'. Should I just buy a new radio/CD player for my vehicle?

your cd player has in simple terms an eye in which reads the coding on the cd...each eye are only programmed to read certain formats some players won't play burned disc at all, if your trying to play mp3's then unless it says mp3 on it, the player won't play those disc...also it could be from excess use and the eye has developed spme dirt on it..this will cause you to have errors, you can simply try a cd player cleaning disc ..but ask someone in the audio dept if you can use it on front disc loading, because some will not work on them, if that doesn't work then your eye is shot and you will need a new radio..just so you know you will need a filler kit because the hole for the radio is to big and also since you have a nissan you will need an atenna adapter..my friend has a pathfinder and jus upgraded to an aftermarket radio..and also brands that sound really good on the stock speakers is pioneer, kenwood and alpine...hope this helpful
