The cd player in my 2000 mystique is not working

Loading mechanism fault. Contact any service technician. The set shoud have to take out, and the loading mechanism should be troubleshoted. Gopakumar Gopalan Google

just eject them backwards from 6 until 1 that worked for me

No it doesn't. The head unit is faulty and requires repair/replacement.

Check to see if something is jammed in it

Have you tried using a CD player cleaner in the unit? Try a "wet" system. One that uses a cd with tiny brushes on it that you pour a little (included) cleaner on it and run it in the player as if it were any other cd. They have worked miracles for me in the past. Also, although I'm not sure about Kenwoods, I have had a number of aftermarket head units and they have all had. "Reset" button on them. I usually find them on the front located behind the faceplate. Simply remove cd's, press and hold button (with ballpoint pen) for 10- 20 seconds. This will require you to reset time, memory etc... Good luck!

if the cd can be ejected try another cd. if it still will not play the motor mechanism is defective

sounds like you have 2 cds in at the same time, i used a small pair of needle nose pliers to remove, it ruined cd but saved player

I had the same problem once and i just went and bought a CD Cleaner and would clean it once a month and never have the same problem again. Try that for now, and good luck.

If you are using "home-made" or "burnt" CDs, this can happen. Sometimes, you can remove the radio from the dash, and unplug it. That may reset the CD player, and the discs will eject.
It works for me about 85% of the time. Hope this helps.

I just bought the same car recently and my son installed a cd/satellite/radio player into it with no problems. A high-end one that he took out of one of his cars. He's an audio freak that works in a high-performance car accessory shop. The only thing extra he had to install was some kind of wiring adapter to mate it with the existing factory radio harness. It only cost a few bucks. I think about $15.00. And there was no worries about wattage or anything else. Been using the player for about six-weeks now with no problems. If you remind me, I'll ask him about that wiring adapter....
