had the same on my old car. As Stan says " hit it with a screwdriver " . May sound a bit harsh but it worked for me- it ejected straight away, was fine after that  Paul

Can we just qualify:

"hit it with a screwdriver handle"

just less intense than a small hammer  .

Thank you all for your input.it seems as if a disc or the holder is stuck half way between the holder and the player.gonna have to take somewhere me thinks. Not that technically minded.ill keep you informed.just a quick question.can I replace the whole unit,if so any recommendations as to what I should replace it with .regards in advance.tony

Unless you want to have a cd player (you probably have the one that only plays audio cds like me) it may be worth looking at the alternatives, e.g. mp3 player (one of those ipod things) that can be run from the screen (do you have a screen or mid unit?) .

I have a screen with a tv.also iive had a DVD player and a free view box fitted.there is a USB stick port available.can I play my music through the screen with either of these?cheers tony

Hi Tony

Yes, I believe the usb port will take/support either flash drives or an external HDD (maybe with a power supply to it) and you can playback digital video files or mp3.

The other way is to make mp3 DVDs and play them back through the DVD / AV interface (although this might not give you stereo, depending on how you are wired up. .

Yep thats right. Had exactly the same problem with my old car and a sharp tap with a screwdriver handle while pressing the eject button and the magazine ejected no probs. Was fine after that  Paul

If you slide the cover open so you can see the CD cassette, get a torch and shine it down the right hand side of the CD cassette. There's a gap between the CD cassette and the main changer body that will allow you to see which CD is stuck.
Use a small electrical screwdriver and place the blade on the edge of the stuck CD holder and ease it back into the CD cassette, it will go back in by itself once free.
I've had this a couple of times and it seems to be when the I've disconnected the battery.
