hi, how do i unplug the battery?the battery under the hood?
Yes, the battery under the hood. It ended up not working for me either time, and as mine could not be fixed - the cds all jammed together as they were mass-manufactured recordable cds - I pleaded hardship at the dealer and they took a couple hundred off the price, put in a rebuilt - remember, there are no longer any new produced - replaced the blown speaker, and I am SO loving my sound system.
Hi-
Just to chime in, last year my cd changer jammed, too. I ended up fixing it myself, though it wasn't by finesse, by any stretch; the culprit was a home-made cdr that had a do-it-yourself label stuck on it. The label got hot inside the changer, allowing it to 'soften'... causing a full jam of all the discs. NOTHING would work with the CD player; I couldn't play, shuffle or eject any of the 6 discs inside. I could just barely see the edge of the top disc through the loading slot, and I used a dull box-cutter blade to <GENTLY> prod the disc... it came out about a millimeter or so and I was able to grab it with some needle-nose plyers and yank it out. Once I turned the car on again (never disconnected the battery) the changer made a bunch of whirring noises, calmed down, and when I hit eject, IT EJECTED !! It's worked fine since, and I no longer put cd's w/home-made labels in it anymore. I DO, however, use cdr's w/out labels all the time and have never had a problem with them.... hope this helps.
