4 Disc changer head unit - cartridge won't eject.

[Rich-K]

Ive just had the same problem with the auto changer in my Vec. Took the car to a local auto/audio electrician. They found the laser head that reads the discs had sheared off, and jammed the mechanism, hence no eject. They have manged to reteive the cd's, but because of the age of the unit and the fact is was manufactured by Phillips, it is unrepairable. I am now looking for a suitable cd autochanger to fit that will connect to the existing radio/cassette unit.

More likely the jammed disk wrecked the laser

Cdc3 is what you need, bit use your vertical board.

Thanks for your help. In the Vec the radio/cassette is mounted in the dash, whilst the cd autocharger is in the glovebox.  Will the cdc3 still work? Are new or second hand and where can I get one?

Any CDC3, you lose the facia, and put in your communications board.
