6 CD Changer won't work

I got an "error" notation on the screen. Since then, I cannot even access the CD changer. It is an AM/FM/CD/XM unit. Have had no problems till now - dealer just wants to pull it out and sell me another one. It is out of warranty.

Any thoughts here?

    I have a 2007 Honda Accord and the radio works fine but the 6 disc cd player says mechanical error. When I turn the car on the display screen says load, but I can't put in a cd or eject one out. Then after 15 seconds the load message turns to mechanical error. Is there anything I can do to fix the problem myself?

I don't have a solution, but the same thing happened to my car. I have a 2007 Honda Accord with a 6 disc cd player and it is reading "Mechanical Error" and it won't work and all my cds are stuck in there.

Can't say it's a fix, but a temporary solution I found allowed me to at least play the cd's that are stuck in mine.
I found that if I get something thin enough to stick in the cd loading slot (I used a thick key card but seems like another cd could work too) I was able to push the cd that it was trying to eject back into the player. Once the cd is settled back in it's normal position, it will play and cycle through cd's normally. It now functions normally unless I try to eject or load cd's. Hope this helps.

6 disc cd changer not loading

Actualy, I don't have any idea why your 6 ddisk CD Changer is not loading but my best advice: dispose of your multiple disk palyer. It's a "better mousetrap". Just install an XM radio or an MP3 player. In my car, I listen a 4 Gb pendrive with about 800 music files Last time I was in the US I rented a car with XM and hadn't even needed to touch the radio from Miami to Jacksonville.

Re-setting of cd changer

A couple of different possibilities here but this is a typical problem when it comes to the MB cd changers. Before ruling the cd changer bad, check the spring settings on the sides of the changer. Make sure they are in the 'H' position since it sits in the glovebox. The Mercedes cd changers don't have a reset button. 95% of the time its the cd changer that is bad when this scenario happens. Its caused by a linkage that gets knocked out of place internally of the cd changer. Also try not to use burned or homemade cd's as they can also cause the cd changer not to read the discs anymore.If your cd changer is brand new or a factory rebuild then the dealer should change it out no problem since MB cd changers are known for this problem. Also the version coding needs to done to configure the D2B fiber optic ring properly.

2001 Yukon Denali CD changer ERROR light

Try pulling the fuse for the cd changer with the ignition on, and then plug it back in. If you are lucky you might reset the unit, otherwise the changer will likely need removed sent in for repair or replacement.

I get E-01 error of my cd changer

The fault is actually inside the CD changer, when one disc is selected the changer moves the gearing inside to slot from one CD to the other.
While this operation is happening the selection arm jams !!
Then giving an error at the radio display..

To fix the problem, disconnect the CD changer from the trunk of the car,
take off the top plastic slide cover,
with a small screwdriver slowly move the gearing so that the CD disc holder will move back to the load - unload position.

Pop out the CD holder.

Replace unit, reconnect the optic and power lead, switch on radio and the unit will work again,

grease the moving parts with light lubricant

Good Luck

sounds like a bad radio that shouldnt happen bttery has no effect on changer opperation if the radio powers up the changer should work as long as its a factory radio w an internal six disc changer.
