Just picked up my 51 plate Octavia VRS, the head unit comes up check magazine.

Any idea's???

Is the mag loaded and have cd's in?

Sometimes a gentle vac over the mag hole helps.

How long did you leave it on 'check magazine' for? It takes a while just after you have loaded the CDs in.

Also check the CDs are in the correct way (there is some writing which tells you which side the label should be).
