OK, you need to borrow another car with ccr600 radio, and plug your cdc into their loom (they will need your cdc security code)

I found unplugging it for a few hours, then reconnect, eject then may work

mine did this at the end of its life, and that often helped, otherwise could be 50 odd presses of eject to get it out.

a hammer wont cure this, it will just smash the magazine up and damage the CDs inside

Take the changer out, remove the 4 x torx screws holding the top cover on. Loosen the 6 phillips head screws on the silver figure 8 shaped piece and lift it up a little at the carriage end and it'll pop out. Just a case of reassembly then :y

OR, put a thin blade (4mm) in and under the bottom of the magazine, twist it so the 'plastic pin' can be scene, then pull the magazine out.
Had problems with a number of them.
