Title: CCR2006 CD Magazine
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 08 June 2016, 16:37:28: So I popped out the CD magazine this afternoon to put some fresh CDs in and now it won't go back in. :( Well it goes in but dosn't engage with the stereo so just pops out again. ::)

A quick search on here was inconclusive and given that I can hear V8S swearing at his stereo from here, I don't fancy trying to remove it. ::) ;D

Is it time to scrap the car? :-\ :D

I don't think it's really in saleable condition now.

This happens all the time with mine.

First make sure you have the code ! Remove the whole unit, just slide out so that there is no power. Wait a while. put it all back and enter code. This doesn't work absolutely every time, and I don't know the reason for all this. I've actually removed the retaining brackets from the sides of the unit so I can slide it out and back in quite easilly. I very much doubt that anyone is going to nick it ;D

The key thingies are a pain inthe A***, they really are, but if you take the time and trouble to make your own it's worth it as they work. I have a pic somewhere of the ones I made, I just need to find it on my drive.

My advice. Go to Halfords or eBay or wherever. Buy a pair of the ones that don't work, they will have kind of diamond shaped heads. With a miniature file change these to arrow shaped heads, possibly chop 'em off and start from scratch. Hard to explain.

No. I bought some cheapo ones and filed them into shape.

The old switch it off and on trick works every time!! ;D

Thanks Rog! :y
