No Magazine from CD player

Post by Magicarcher » Fri Mar 24, 2017 8:22 pm

Just tried to play one of my 6CDs in the changer from my head unit. Got a message for ages saying "checking CD". Eventually I got bored and had the bright idea to try ejecting the CD magazine with the button. But it would not eject. Now when I try to play one of my discs I get a message "no magazine" but the magazine and discs are in there.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Press the eject button while tapping the cartridge and it should come out.

Thanks for all your help, after a lot of perseverance and many times thinking it wasn't going to work I got there.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the chances of it happening again. NB don't want to replace CD with USB module as I will change the Headunit when I get more cash, so it would be a waste of time.

Nope, chances are it won't happen again for ages and now you know how to fix it.
