Have a Clarion DXZ845MC unit, never had problems with it until I decided to put in a old / beat-up CDR in it. Well its plays the CD but when I try to eject it all you hear is the meachanism turning, then it will leave the face extended. The face eventually comes up after I turn off the car for awhile then turn it back on. I never really had to mess with this type of probelm plus I don't want to hurt the unit. So I hope no one tells me to stick a flat head into it  What is the BEST way to get it out? thanks! --------------------  |

Disconnect the power and try the manual eject button in back if so equipped. If not, well, flathead?
Did the CDR happen to have a homemade paper label on it? - that's the usual suspect [Never use those things in car stereos] This post has been edited by DEATH: Jul 24, 2008 - 1:31 PM --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM)  Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

almost all head-units are designed to spit the CD out once you cut the Constant power and re-connect it. On that initial "POWER connected" sequence, it ejects CD's.
Otherwise; if it's broken... Disassemble and remove manually. -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW!

take the whole unit out and put a new one. If it started to mess up, it will keep doing the same/

Quick way, Disconect your batt for a few seconds. Then re-connect it, turn the key to acc. and the CD will spit out.

^ exactly. Your CD will be toast but I bet it's the culprit anyway, not your head unit.

Manual eject is sort of a long shot - I haven't seen one of those on a CD player in a while [Then again I haven't looked for one either]. D-man's method and the one above both work too [I used to be married so I know how to rescue CD players
