Hi any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I have 2005 subaru with a six disc factory changer. The cd player stopped working but the stero comes on. When I press cd it reads disc 5 and then I presss eject and it says ejecting all discs but nothing happesn.

 

I went to the deal and they said tehy could take it out for 120 but may not fix it.

 

Are there any other suggestions?

hit it in a way that causes no physical damage or blow some compressed air via cd gap.

now that's an idea!^^^^^I like it.

while on or off?

Either way. You could also try simply removing it yourself and spraying everything down with electronic or contact cleaner and seeing if it works.

My GF's '07 6 disc changer (clarion I was told) did the same thing. Dealer replaced it under warantee. Seems like it's a common failure on these.

There's rarely much you can do. There are companies that repair them. Repairs run $150-$400 or so.

 

Simpler, and cheaper usually, to buy a used one, but that sounds like a bad option on something prone to fail anyway.

hitting it worked. Genius idea!

Enter the FIST!!!

 

I have an Alpine in dash unit in my Lincoln that gets temperamental every now and then. Usually a good smack on the dash knocks some sense into it.
