Drivng along last night when i skipped CD but it went to radio, now the display shows ERROR 3 when i try and use the CD function, no matter what i do it will not eject play or skip!!

Anyone had any issues like this in the past, its the standard 6 CD changer by the way.

Thanks

Yes i have had this problem on a few ocassions.

What i do to sort it out is eject the cd magazine from the boot (with the head unit and ignition off) then replace it and that seems to remove the error.

hope that helps

I get the ERROR not ERROR 3, it seems to hang halfway through a CD. Stuck a cleaner CD through it but still get it every now and again. Doing what juntz suggestes seems to be the real cure.

No pin hole to poke to release them? Like a CD on a computer.

Got it sorted, just a case of whipping the headunit out and taking the top plate off it and unjamming the top two CD's .
