Service Bulletin #: 04-08-44-023
CD Won’t Play Above A Certain Track Number (Temporary Fix -- Remove/Reinstall Fuse; Permanent Fix Under Development)
2005 Chevrolet Corvette with RPO US8 - Radio or US9 - Radio
Condition
Some customers may comment that the CD will not play above a certain track number.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a software anomaly in the radio preventing further tracks to be recognized. For example, if an MP3 disc with 7 tracks is played, the next "regular" CD audio disc played will only play up to 7 tracks.
Correction
Engineering is working to develop and validate a software fix for this condition. Until such time the software is available, use the following procedure as a "short-term" fix.
2005 -- Corvette
Remove the Radio/S-Band/VICS 15-amp fuse from the I/P electrical center (passenger side) for 30 seconds.
Reinstall fuse.
Advise the customer that the issue may return if they utilize another MP3 disc that contains less than 30 tracks/files. If an MP3 disc with more than 30 tracks/files is inserted into the CD player/changer, this will also resolve the issue.
General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
