JVC head unit problem

I have a jvc cd player in my car and am experiencing the same problem as you, where I can't eject a cd and the player keeps saying "RESET P21" whenever I press the EJECT button.

How did you fix this? Please reply to [email protected] if possible!

Do you have a "RESET" button on your stereo? Check your owner's manual to find it. I have a JVC unit in my car and the reset button is a small hole behind the detachable face. Take the end of a pencil or a pen and insert it in the tiny hole and hold for a few seconds. This should reset the stereo so you can get the CD out. Hope this helps...

    Sorry this wasn't a help. What is the model number? Have you tried the JVC website? You can go to www.jvc.com and e-mail them at "E-mail Product Support" with your model number and personal information. I am not sure what that error code means, but you'd think that resetting the unit would help. Have you tried to unplug the wiring harness for 30-60 minutes? This helps in some instances. Do you have a lock code set on the unit? Other than these suggestions, I really can't think of anything else presently. Let me know if this was a help...

Is there a way to link a JVC Kameleon head unit with my stock CD changer? I have a mercedes slk350, just replaced the audio 20 head unit with the JVC Kameleon. Everything works and looks good, but I want...

The only thing i can suggest is to go to your audio shop and ask the same question to them, as they normally carry many different styles of leads and may have one there that will help you to connect your cd player, Is there a din output on the back of this unit? if so they should be able to help.

Jvc kd-sh55 head unit

Have you tried pressing the "RESET" button on the stereo? I have a JVC unit in my car and the reset button is a tiny hole behind the detachable face. Take a pencil or a pen and insert the end into the tiny hole an hold for a few seconds. This will reset the stereo and you should be able to eject the CD as you normally would. If it's a mini-disc (8mm) you probably would have to take the unit apart and manually retrieve it - big hassle. Check the owner's manual to find out where the "RESET" button is if it is not behind the face. If you don't have the owner's manual, you can download one from jvc.com.. Hope this helps.

JVC Car Stereo

The head unit should have two separate +12V connections: One that goes to a switched 12V power that is switched on/off via the ignition and one that is always energized at +12V. If the head unit's switched +12V lead is not connected, the unit will not turn on (except for when +12V is first applied to the "always on" lead, in which case it will immediately eject the CD). Please respond if this is not the issue. Hope this helps!
