Cdr2005 - error cd

[spatch]

Hi,

Probably a long shot but my CDR2005 does not eject CD's anymore. I loaded a CD in last night, all fine. Driving to work this morning and went to eject it but accidently (not thinking) turned the ignition off at the same time! The CD started to eject but then popped back in. Ever since this it will not eject and comes up with the message ERROR CD when I try to eject.

Curiously, it still plays fine. Perhaps the ignition thing is a red herring but does anyone have an idea to get around this?

Later tonight I will try to get the unit out, but since it needs a double Din removal tool I will have to fabricate something out of allen keys or something....

Any thoughts as to the problem??

Cheers,

Daft idea I know. But try pressing the big on/off button. You never know it might re-set things?.

Thanks for the reply. Tried that. Only thing I have not tried yet is disconnecting the battery.

I did think of suggesting that. But thought the idea of switching it off would be easier. If you do disconect the battery. Make sure you have the radio code first.

Will be trying that when I get home, and I do have the code handy. I am wondering if there is a belt or something that may have snapped, or come off, that drives the eject mechanism?

If the battery disconnect does not work then I guess I will find out when I remove the unit.

You might find the unit a bit of a fight to get out. Some members havs said they had a right game as it was very tight fitting.
Good luck with it anyway.

All working again. Took the head unit out and started to dismantle but did not have the correct sized Torx bits so could not progress. Decided to re-install and see if the power disconnection had cleared the fault and it had.

Therefore, battery disconnection would have probably been easier but at least I learned something new - how to get the head unit out...

Cheers,
