Title: CD auto changer
Post by sad_eyes on Sep 8^th, 2011, 4:28pm

Anyone got any ideas/tricks on how to remove the cartridge?
You push the button it makes all the right noises but won't eject.

It's in a 1998 ultima estate. :-/ :-/ :-/

Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave I had this problem on my old rover and the only way I could get the cartridge out was to take the covers off the cd multichanger and release it manually.

Dave, currently I cannot verify. But from memory I think there is somewhere a small 1mm diameter hole. Probably on the front below the cartridge bay. Take a 5cm long Pin put it in there quite rectangularly and squeese. Cartridge should come out.

Not 100% on this but I think the 'emergency release' hole is just next to the power connector and a straightened out paper clip is the ideal tool for the job.
I had to do this on mine but it was rather a long time ago now.
