If it is not hot then your CD changer is faulty, or the temp sensor inside the changer is crook. Either way, you have to get a car radio repair shop to look at the CD changer. also my rear de-mistered isn't working - hoping this can be done at the same time! Does the light come on in the climate control? Can you hear the relay go 'click' when you turn it on and off? Here's some info: Rear window heating (defogger) Thawing phase After terminal 15 new start and after being switched on for the first time, the time interval for the rear window defogger is determined in order to achieve an optimum thawing effect. Thawing time at outside temperature > 15 o C = 10 minutes Thawing time at outside temperature < 15 o C = 17 minutes Undervoltage cutout does not take place during the thawing phaseAfter-heating phase In order to maintain the battery charge level, once the initial thawing period has elapsed, the rear window defogger can only be activated for 5 minutes every time the button is pressed. Undervoltage cutout At low engine speeds (up to 1500 rpm), the charge status can be turned negative as the result of high loads. For this reason, the rear window defogger relay is switched off when terminal 30 drops below 11.4 V. The rear window relay switches on again when a voltage above 12.2 V is detected.

*Glenn* 855 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 I've never dealt with this type of problem before. Take Jochen's advise on this subject or go and see Rapid Radio 1 Abbey Street Newton Ph. (09) 3031838 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(09) 3031838 Personnaly, I wouldn't recommend Rapid Radio. They like to sell and install new radios. They don't repair the CD changers, they send them straight to the guy who used to work across the road from them but now works from home in Mt Eden. His name and business is.... Max Electronic Services 42 St Leonards Rd Mt Eden Auckland 0-9-638 5252 He's a one-man band, does nothing but fix car radios and CD players, does a lot of OEM stuff and does all Sony repairs. He knows the Pioneer systems well. Best thing to do is drive around, see hime, show him the fault in the car, and then give him the CD changer to repair.
