OEM CD changer jammed! What to do?
WTF! It's only been like 2 months since I got it, and my OEM CD changer has jammed up!
Basically it finished playing disc 4, went to switch to disc 5, and it took a long time then just said "Err" on the display. I futzed around with it some, and it started to play. Finished disc 5 and goes to switch to 6, same thing happens and now I can't get it to do anything at all. Damn thing won't even eject the discs!
I don't really want to have to take it to the dealer for something like this (changer is covered under warranty, but since I installed it myself, I'd still have to pay labor) but what else can I do? It's got 6 of my CDs and 300 of my dollars!
Anyone have any ideas?

Rep Power: 0 Thanks. Looks like I'll be calling up the dealer tomorrow.
Oh well. If that's the worst thing that goes wrong with my car, I guess I'm in pretty good shape [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

They won't be able to look at it until next Tuesday!!!! How am I going to drive to the beach and back this weekend!? I'm going to have to listen to the RADIO
I know, I lead a tough life.
If any one has any suggestions on ways I might be able to fix it in the meantime, I'll be listening [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Actually, this is kinda funny. I took it to the dealer today and here's the procedure:
They send the unit back to Honda (or maybe Alpine? Tech just said "distributor").
Honda sends a replacement which will be here in a week.
Honda dismantles the old changer and extracts the CDs.
Honda then mails my CDs back to me!
It's madness!

Rep Power: 0 I bought a toshiba changer from sam's like 10 years ago. That **** did the same thing. Sent it off and got a newer and better model back. A few weeks later I got 4 of the 6 cds that were in there. The discs were so messed up they wouldn't play anymore though. I don't particularly like changers since that happend. The new one they sent me is still in the box, never been touched. Imagine that, a brand-new 10 yr old cd changer....LOL

Doh!
Hope I have better luck than that. Good news is, the service is free. Hooray for warranty.
