CD changer in my 1998 Saab Estate will not eject? Anyone?

There is a manual eject slot on the side of the CD changer. You will need a small flat head screwdriver or a pry tool to insert into the slot.

u need to re-connect it in order to remove the magazine

if you push the eject cd magazine button on the changer does it sound like it's trying to eject it? if it doesn't you'll need to replace the changer. if it does, then you've got a stuck cd magazine tray. it sounds weird, but when i was working on land rovers this happened all the time on the full size range rovers. what we did was push the magazine eject button on the changer to eject the cd magazine and sort of slap the changer around a bit. 90% of the time it worked. the other times, we'd go in with a 90 degree pick and try to push the stuck cd tray back into the magazine (while it was still in the changer) while pushing the eject magazine button on the changer. and you'll need to replace the cd magazine. if it happens again, you'll need to replace the entire changer.

The unit is having internal firmware problem. It may be off track or have a bad capacitor. You will need to dismantle to cover to receive your cd tray. There may also be a problem with the lens.

Hi,
Press and Slide Front half cover as shown in below image and you will see eject button there to eject magazine.

I put a small pin in the reset button a few times and that then got the catridge to eject.

I disconnected the car bettery for a minute, reconnected and was then able to eject the magazine.
