CD changer can't open nor play cd - 2001 BMW 5 Series

There is a small pin hole on the door of most changers. straiten a paper clip insert in the hole ratchet back and forth on the gear in side to open.

Get this manual online at www.reliable-store.com and get complete guide on whether to repair or not, service it, and how to repair etc, along with wiring diagrams, electrical diagrams, torque specs, error codes, everything.

have you tried disconnecting the battery cables? if this does not work, a CD may be stuck in it! You will have to remove the changer and open it up to remove the cd!

I had this problem with a CD changer in my vehicle once. I had to remove the Changer and open it up to get the disk out.

Hi,

Take a photo your cd changer, and send me. Maybe i can help for you. My e-mail : [email protected]

2000 bmw 528i,my cd changer also reads no cds,this seem to be a common problem with all bmw cd changer.Anyway i removed the cd changer from my car,took the outside black cover apart only to see that a white big wheel came of its place,(its the wheel that holds the cd in place from the top (bottom wheel is black attached directly to the motor,as the cd is sandwitched between the black,and white wheels) .if that wheel is out of place the cd will not turn inside the changer for the eye to read it,so your radio screen will read NO CD OR NO DISC.Very easy fix,just place the wheel in its place,and everything worked fine,it took me 20 minutes to fix.
p.s :
1- you do need to make sure you have an original cd in for testing it.
2- you do not need to recode your cd changer at the dealer if you have an old bmw,dealer will need to recode cd changers for 2006 and up.
Good luck.

I sould checkyou phone book to see if there is a bussiness that repairs car radios and cd players.
Other wise you should look into a new cd player at a local electronic store that sells car radios and cd players. The last option is to go to the dealer and order another one.

Are you placeing cds face up or face down in the changer, some cd changers will only play with the cds face down.

im sorry to tell you but it will have to come out to be cleaned and if it reads bad cd on every one the lazer usualy burns out. where is where i have had good luck M&R
