Default Radio/CD

I have an 03 Electra Glide ,and the CD player keeps saying bad disk, I even tried to use a lens cleaner.
Is there anything I should try before pulling it out ,and sending it in for repair?

Sounds like the laser is going bad in it. They get weak with age and then they start not reading disk as you describe. If yourcd's play in other cd players then its probably bad .Sorry

Or you could trade it in for a new anniversary model!

Are you using burnt cd's. Not sure about that year but I know some earlier models were not compatable with home made cd's.

If they are homemade CD's try using an original and see what you get out of it. If it still gives you the same reading it's the unit and not the CD. Sometimes homemade ones don't work as well.
