Car CD Players get dusty from road grime. Buy a CD Cleaning Disc and run it is a couple of times. The laser that reads the tracks is much lower power, and if it can't read the whole tracking system, it ejects the CD. The cleaning disc has little brushes that cleans the optic lenses.

this could be a couple o things wrong here.
might need just a clean up.
Confirm there is no CD in the player. ...

Try a lens cleaner disc.
Sometimes a CD player will display a "No Disc" error. What this means is that the CD player, for some reason, does not recognize the disc. There are various reasons for this error, from the CD lens eye being dirty to a CD format that is incompatible with theplayer. Troubleshoot through process of elimination.31 Mar 2015
i know yours is in a car but the principle is the same.or should be.
i would just buy a lens cleaning disc that way you dont have to open it up,and see if it does clean it for you.
This also happened to my 2002 WRX. I took the CD player out of the console and found a tiny spring (which I could not find) was not in its location, which would actuate the "play CD" switch inside. After a few hours I decided to reassemble the player and use it as a non-CD unit. The radio and cassette player still work, so I purchased a cassette MP3 player adapter so I can plug in my cell phone and play songlists.
Try this to eject cartridge
PRESS AND HOLD eject button
Insert credit card under cartridge,push firmly in,then move left/right
Try several times ,what it does is locate a micro switch which sticks
This works on all cd stackers providing it has no other problems
First get a CD Lens Cleaner and try it; if not, disconnect the negative lead from your car battery for about 10 min. BUT! Unless you have the radio code make sure you car radio doesn’t have a anti-theft system; if after this few steps still nothing you have to send it to an electronics repair shop (the CD Lens is bad).
Are you using burned discs. If so try burning them at the slowest speed available on your computer, usually about 8x. If your using standard store bought CD's then you might have a lens issue. Try purchasing one of those lense cleaner discs, they have a tiny brush on them that cleans the lens while it spins, they work pretty good.
Same thing happened to my 2005 tahoe. I pulled two fuses out (panel located under the hood on drivers side), put them back in, and now it takes cds again. Drove me nuts for days. Radio also worked, just didn't take in cds.
