98 2.8 A4 Cruise and CD changer problems

Hi,

I just bought a 98 2.8 A4 and its cruise control won't engage now. It engaged once or twice when I first got it, but now it never engages. I can hear a relay like sound coming from roughly the top center of dash when I try to engage it so I know the stalk is making a connection. I don't have the owners manual (on order) so I don't know what fuses / relays control the cruise functionality. Could someone provide me this information or possibly some other trouble shooting advice?

Also the car has the upgraded Bose stereo with the 6-disc changer. The problem is that the stereo always reports an error such as "CD01 - ERR" whenever I switch the mode to "CD". Yes, I tried putting the CD in both ways to make sure I didn't have it placed upside down in the cartridge. Again any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for now. I'm sure I'll have other questions later :)

-Marcus

Try this: slide the arming switch back and forth full-stroke a bunch of times

- like 20 or so. See if the cruise works more reliably now. btdt.

If it only happens with burned discs, try a pressed CD. If it happens with pressed CDs, could be a crapped out laser assembly, or just a lot of accumulated dust. Pull the changer and gently blow out the bunnies and see where that leads.

When I get a CD01 it's usually because a dog hair found its way into the cartridge when I had it in the house...
