Pooparu Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 My mother in law has a 2002 outback with a six disk changer (p122). The cd's are stuck inside the radio and will not eject. 1. Are there any tricks to getting them out? 2. If I buy a replacement radio off of ebay is it just as easy as pulling the old one out and putting the new one in? Or are there a bunch of anti-theft codes that I need to know to make it work? thanks, earl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 If they won't come out, you may have to take the changer out and get them out by taking the unit apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Poop, I would use the guide and verify all the power wires have power. Even if it plays... There may be a missing link.

brus brother Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Common problem is using home made cds with paste on labels. If you open the unit and discover one such cd, the unit may not yet be toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radio says that there’re 5 cd's in their, but when I hit the eject button nothing happens. Everything else works on the radio. Maybe I'll just install an after market radio. I'll just buy the wiring harness and install kit and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've already decided to send it to the trash heap, what can it hurt to open the bugger and see what's wrong? You may get lucky and find that simply powering off the unit completely will reset a memory or you may find a disc jammed up. Remember, it's already broken... you can't break it!
