Car CD doesn't play.

All the cleaner disc does is brush dust off the laser lens. Sometimes that's all it takes - but often the lens is fogged. Id=f one brand didn't work, nor will any other. Some of the lens material is just like your headlight lens and "yellows" over time. Time for a new stereo

Yes. CD players are better than cassettes but they are still mechanical. I've disassembled one after a cleaning disc didn't work and found the problem was in the mechanism that positions the laser head.

I think the current car does have a CD player but I use MP3s from a USB stick or Bluetooth from the phone for variety. Non-moving parts don't skip on rough roads.

The vacuum line to the radio is leaking.

No that's old school...his bottle of laser fluid needs refilled ;-)

Best solution: Time to get a new car.

Grab an 8-track from ebay and swap it out.

CD player is just emulating it's owner who has been off track for a long time.

Throw it away and get an MP3 player. This is the 21st century. Playing music off of little pieces of plastic is medieval.

Nah, it's the AC condensate drain it's not washing the lens off as it should.

You have several choices: don't get it fixed and live with it. Send it to a car radio repair shop and pay big bux. Get one from a junkyard and swap it. Do as other posters have suggested and use memory stick or like. Get a portable CD player and plug it in.

For an automtive CD player, yes. It's dead, move on. If you can get the thing out of the dashboard and take it apart, you might have a chance, but if it just died a sudden death, it's probably not work fussing with.
