My disk magazine will not eject from the changer. My stupid little sister decided to take all of my CDs out and change them to hers. I think that she either installed them wrong or they have labels on them. I tried helping the magazine along with a knife while pressing the eject button but that didnt work. I have taken the whole changer out of the car and tear it down. Any Tips on how to get this straight would be great.
Thanks
Matt

as long as there are no cd's halfway out and just the magazine is jamed you might this:
You need a very thick piece of paper about the size of a legal type envelope, I have done this with a time card. There is a release button or lever, slide the card into the changer alongside the magazine and the housing, and if all cd's are loaded into the magazine it should pop up.
I don't remember which side of magazine it will work on.

Good luck

Would it be possible to pop the case off?

I think the car likes your sisters taste in music more than yours.... it won't let it go. :eek: J/K haha. Hope that release button works!

This happened once with mine. It only partially ejected and got stuck. My solution was to press it down fully several times until the catch finally released. It might take 5 or 6 tries. Can't offer any solutions beyond that.

Okay, I got it to pop out. I removed the whole outer shell of the changer and played with the cd's a little bit to make sure they were aligned and then I slid a piece on top of the changer that is to the right of the magazine. It was stuck on "2" and i pushed it back to the first position or "E" and the thing popped right out.
Thanks again for the suggestions

Nice work - I just got done getting one out of the head unit in the dash.
That was fun! At least I cleaned the feed roller while I was in there.

I don't think that it likes homemade mix CDs in the #1 position either. I had trouble with one disc over and over again -- until I moved that particular disc to the #2 position. Go figure?? :dunno:

My homemade is in the dash.
