- Pulled it out, one disk sitting on top loose, pulled it out, reinstalled device, sees no CDs in the device, but I know there are 3 in there, bah, would have pulled them all but it was starting to look tricky.

- The detailed instructions here are for a different model Changer I think, but you inspired me to try anyway, I will get back to it another day.
Take it to any local car audio shop, find out the make of the changer and chances are good that it can be fixed quickly and at a minimal cost or replaced with an aftermarket unit that will work perfectly with the factory radio for under 600 installed easily. Hope this helps

- If you plan on doing the repair yourself, it's not that difficult, just remember to be patient and remember what you take apart, and where it goes. First thing to do is pull the changer from the vehicle and take off the top. It's usually only 4 to 6 screws. Be careful when you remove the top as there may be small rubber bushings on either side at the middle for transport support which have springs on them. Once the top is off, you will probably see immediately what has happened to cause it to jam. The most common is two discs in one slot of the cartridge, if you gently pull the disc back out toward the tray then plug it back in, chances are good it will cycle and free up your disc. Now, eject your cartridge and inspect it for bends or warps, if it is warped or bent, replace it. If not, use some compressed air and dust out the inside GENTLY hold the can 12 to 13 inches from the boards and dust it out. Then, use a "Laser Lens Cleaner" and run it for two or three cycles. Re load your cartridge and test. If all is well, load and unload the cartridge a few times then re assemble the unit, and re install the top. Your good to go. Hope this helps.
