Following on from the other thread, my 4 disc changer has spat the cartridge out by won't let me lock the thing complete with cd's back in :(
Tbh, that side of the system has probably not been used for a good 3 years.
If I remove the unit / split the components, is they anything that tends to stick or break ?
Any pointers welcome

Tap an aux into the cd changer loom and fit a bluetooth head unit to the glove box using a telematics glovebox for neatness...
Keeps the dash oem, along with nav and computer functions whilst adding bluetooth calls and music via phone :y
Get a suitable head unit and you can easily expand to a boot mounted disc changer :y

Watch the front facia clips. Think it's basically covered in the guide to changing the autochanger

Tbh Al, the built in satnav is a nice to have toy and is fun to play with when board but with the disc nearly 15 years old I tend to use the iPhone for navigation nowdays.
I've already upgraded the sound with Infinity components, a iPod fm transmitter and a Alpine Ktp 445 which make a hell of a difference but if the 2013 is going to die on me sooner rather then later i'll probably do what Adi King has done to keep the colour display / trip computer working and stuff the top part of the 2013 up behind the glovebox ;)
Mini Me has just bought one of these ............

and tbh, its a great bit of kit :y :y
I don't want a double din sized aftermarket unit because they are just too friggin bright with all the flashing graphics so this alpine should do the job when the thing dies on me :(

Can't argue with that logic :y
Set up proposed was what I fitted to the Elite and worked well ;)

Well I have managed to get the thing to accept a magazine but it won't read the discs anymore :-\
I'll try running the disc cleaner through it a few times to see if it will catch and sort itself out.
After all, it does get bloody dusty in there but I fear I better start saving my pennies or ask father Christmas nicely ;D
