Hi all, I noticed a few forums posted over a decade ago, but unfortunately didn't seem to relate.

I've got an issue where the cd auto changer had a fault. I pressed the eject button which spat the magazine out. I checked over the cds and everything seemed fine. After reseating the mag, the stereo no longer recognises the magazine, and says "no magazine". Since then I've tried to eject the mag, but had no luck.

Has anyone had any issues with this? I removed the autochanger in the idea of fitting an aux lead to the unit, but with it being stuck I'm not sure it'll be as straightforward... Any info would be great! Thanks! 😊

It sounds to me as if the CD changer on your car has disconnected itself from the stereo, and is not receiving power to eject the magazine. The power/data feed to/from the CD changer is a single cable, which runs from under the passenger seat, under the carpet, and into the back of the stereo.

I'd be checking two places: the back of the stereo (blue plug in the slots above the standard brown/black ISO connectors) and also where the cable running from the CD changer links to the loom that runs to the stereo. The line has a wide black connector on it close to the seat - to allow removal of the seat, etc. It's possible this has come loose/fallen out if the passenger seat has been moved about.

Hope this is of use to you.
