CD Changer Woes...

[Scott M Shortt <ScottS@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

> I have a 1994 325i with 6-pack CD changer in the trunk.  It was acting up
> a bit (it would eject the cartridge for no specific reason when you would
> start the ignition) finally one day the radio in the car read either "No
> Disc" or "Disc Error" for each disc, even though the thing was full - AND
> I couldn't eject the cartridge back at the changer.
> 
> I tried disconnecting power (to maybe reset the thing) and the cable that
> connects the changer to the radio - all to no avail.
> 
> I drove over to a stereo shop and they opened up the changer (while all
> connected to the car) and fiddled with the inside... they got it working
> (playing, ejecting cartridge, etc.)  but it didn't last long.
> 
> A few weeks later... I can't eject the cartridge again and really don't
> feel like taking it back to the same place...
> 
> Any ideas or thoughts?  Is this a common thing?  Is there a fix - or am I
> going to be stuck buying a new changer?
> 
> Please reply to me directly - thanks!
