I removed a Carion RDC634 disk changer from my 1997 VW Jetta because I replaced the radio with a modern one with Bluetooth and phone support. After removing it I realize I forgot to remove the cd cartridge and the CDs. I downloaded a wiring diagram and figured out how to power it up. When I give it power the CD changer makes some clicking sounds, when I push the eject button it sounds like it's trying to eject but is does not come out

First thing to suspect would be the antenna cable or antenna. Check it is connected properly to the back of the unit, and check the cable all the way along to the antenna - these are prone to internal corrosion when they get a bit old. Easiest way to check is to get a new antenna and cable (they are cheap) and plug it in directly to the back of the unit. Check the ground connection of the unit is good - any terminals might need a clean up - disconnect the battery first.

I have now gone through 3 of these units and encountered that exact same issue. The first came from a Tweeter store, the second from Ebay, and arrived with a CD stuck in it (I returned it), and the third from Ebay, ad that one just broke last week. It clicks when I try to load a CD. The only reason that I kept buying them is because I have an old BMW, and the black face and orange/amber illumination match my interior exactly. I am trying to contact Clarion, but the 'support' link on the site is not active. I tried to remove the stuck CD from the first unit to no avail. Basically, it is broken, and even if you remove the CD, the load/eject mechanism is broken and you can no longer play a CD in that unit.

Hi,
You will need to power the unit to eject the cartridge you only need a 12v source, any car battery etc. Then you just do it like you always do it. It is correct that it is not operating without power.
Wish there was an easier way for you, but hooking it up to power is not to difficult.
Good luck and if you need any other info on the device let me know,

Try radio shack, or stereo sales/installation place for ready to go plug adapter. For a few bucks, it saves headaches, and butchering the wiring in case you want to re-install old one later when trading in or selling the car.
SOURCE: 6 disk CD changer is broken!
Hello,
I just removed the 6-disc player from my 2001 Trooper. To remove it:
1) Remove the two screws above the radio area in the black faceplate
2) Remove the one screw located between the ash tray and the lighter.
3) Remove the four screws (two on each side) from the front center console cover and pull it back (you will need to shift into 2 or L)
4) Pop the black face plate off (there are some metal brackets holding it on that need some light force to pull out. Nothing should break)
5) There are two screws for the CD player and two screws for the radio. Unscrewing them will allow you to pull out the radio and disconnect the smaller CD wiring harness, then you can pull out the CD player.
When I unscrewed the CD player unit, I found that there are six plastic halos that hold each disc and move them up and down as selected. These had broken in some places and the discs had dropped to the bottom and stacked, so nothing could move...hence the clicking sound. Because there was a severe jam, nothing else could be loaded either...hence the error message. I'm attempting to superglue the pieces back together to see if I can reset it. Otherwise, I'd recommend you replace the unit (most likely what I'll do).
Hope this helps!
