2003 GT, bought used.

Anyway, it doesn't seem as though there's a solid consensus regarding a possible cause / solid reason for this to be happening.
I'm gonna keep looking, i guess and check back here as well. It seems Chrysler should have information about this - then again, maybe that's one of the reasons they went bankrupt.  |
Did your CD-ability go away as of disconnecting the battery?
From what I read perhaps the CDs in player can be removed now only by
removing the player and going in to remove them some how. Perhaps
removing the CDs will result in the CD-player then successfully initalizing
(like booting up?) and then it will properly be connected (like networked?) with the Radio head.
It's not uncommon for radios in car to have setups they lose when the battery is disconnected. I have a 97 BMW which requires a radio code when you pull it's battery, that's for a stupid theft protection.
I did read about some network-connection for mopar but I never found the information. I figure the service dept may have the paper info that tells them what do. I figure my next step would be to act like I want to buy a 6-cd player from the dealership parts dept and see if I can get a look at the paper work in the box. Service is a WALL and they are not giving an estimate or any clue they know anything over the phone. So if I give them the car I wouldn't be surprised they tell me I need a new player or whatever and it will be $500 please. Sorry giving service a blank check isn't a good idea in my experience.
Thanks for posting you have the same problem
