It started in winter, in cold morning. I had frosted driver door lock, window and CD. After half hour with warm air inside door lock and window started operate but CD stayed with error. I don't hear any noise, any mechanism working sounds from inside.
The stock radio/CD unit is garbage. Very, very common for the CD side of the unit to die and owner unable to retrieve CDs. Great opportunity to upgrade to a NAV unit. Nobody uses CD's anymore anyway. All the aftermarket NAV units use a Micro SD card for you to store your music on. Don't even get a new unit with a CD player in it because it takes up valuable screen real estate. Without a CD slot there you can enjoy a bigger screen.
Over here we use Crutchfields to see what audio options are available for our vehicles. I'm not sure what you have over there that's equivalent.
Thanks, I know what a stock radio is bad. After purchase Expedition I found few on ebay and it is very high on my shopping list. I am asking about this error because I thought it was a common problem and easy to fix.

I still use CDs, but I do agree that aftemarket is the answer. If you're not picky about a brand name, why not take a look on Ebay at the various Double Din Android units? You might be pleasantly surprised
That's the route I went in 2016, paid $130 shipped for one from China and sourced the harness adapter locally. It's been going strong for 4 years now, so I'm happy with it. Maybe when I get motivated, I'll finally install its GPS antenna and reverse camera.
