CD Error,won't eject or play CD's

I know the OE 6 CD changer isn't the best product and I am glad that I've gotten this far with it. At times, I've had to "help" it eject CD's but this time, it appears to be really hosed up. I did a search and read a lot of pages of stuff, but couldn't find anything about this problem.

The radio plays fine but if I hit the CD button, nothing plays. The display flashes but the dreaded CD Error comes up quickly. I've tried Ejecting and even loading, as I was able to get one CD out. The little door doesn't open on it's own but I can manually open it with a little screw driver.

Any ideas on how to reset it's brains? I'll accept it not working but I really want to get the CD's that are in there, OUT! Turning the unit off/on has no effect.

Thanks,
V

You could try pulling it out and unplugging it. That's the only way to totally remove power from it for sure.

Beyond that, you might have to start dissembling it until you can get to the CD's.

Totally removing and restoring power to it will reset it to where you might get the CDs to eject. I bought my truck used this summer and shortly thereafter had to replace my batteries. The unit showed two CDs inserted that it didn't before. I got them both to eject. Kinda like finding a bunch of change under the seat cushions.
