CD's stuck in CD Player - Mach 460-6-disc

Wicked · 11-25-2006, 08:58 AM

I'm sure I'm not the first person to have this issue. What's the trick to getting them out and getting the CD player operational?

Any hope or would I be better off looking for a new head unit or getting a IPod?

When mine is cold or hasnt been used for awhile it wont do anything, (somtimes the radio will play) After it warms and the ignition is cycled a time or two it will go to working as if nothing wrong. I know this dont tell you how or why but maybe it helps.

I had that problem in my Cobra and the only way we could get the cd out was to take the top of the unit off. I had to get a new unit.

yep. it has to come apart

Yeah, mine used to only do it when it was cold too. Now it hasn't worked for a few weeks.

Hmmm. Sounds like I should rescue my CD's and connect the Ipod at the same time. I figure a new head unit will cost about what the ipod will.

Thanks for the replies.

Watch ebay. You can get factory units from $100 up

We have a salvage yard here, that was selling the factory head units for 100 dollars. If you want ill check to see if they have one. P.S. i have removed the covers and found that where it plugs for the prongs to be loose, a touch with a solodering iron is all it takes to fix it

I just poke the cd with something and I usually get it to come out.

Could you put that into more simple terms?

You can fix or figure out almost anything by poking it with a stick.
