CD player, Chassis Ground

Ok, I have a question, it relates to the CD player in my BMW, but isn't necessarily car specific.

I just bought a slightly used Alpine CD player. It worked fine when pulled from the other vehicle, but doesn't work in my car. The radio works in my car, but the CD player doesn't work. It shows that it is reading the disc, and it realizes how many tracks are on the disc, but there is no sound.

I do not have the CD player installed in the dash, it's just kinda hanging there (for now). Could it be that the CD player needs the chassis ground (screwed into the dash)? Or should I just return the CD player?

Thx,
-Mike
