Hi everyone, my 6-CD changer from a 2003 mustang gt got jammed today. I tried to eject one CD, then unit got locked up, it says"CD ERROR" and now it won't do anything.
Assuming this is a Mach 500 or Mach 1000 double DIN radio.
Sometimes lightly tapping on the front face will help. Different ppl report sucess hitting different locations.
Sometimes it helps to disconnect all power to the radio. Disconnect the battery neg or remove the fuses (your choice). After the power is resorted, it will go through a full restart procedure that sometimes works.
Otherwise the radio will have to be removed. Once the front face is removed, the CD's can be seen.
The time it happened to me there was a CD stuck halfway in/out. I pressed it back in, put the unit back together, and it worked!
There did not seam to be a reasonable way to easily manually remove the CD's. At least without tearing down more of the radio.
Good luck.
You can also try to eject the cd again and at the same time slide another disc in the opening a little. The stuck disc should go ahead and come on out. Works for me nearly every time it does that.

Tried the CD half in while ejecting method today and I got 5 of the 6 out. D/C'd the ground on the battery and now it shows that there is no cd's in it at all. Won't let me do anything cd wise. I'm finally gonna break down and get a new head unit for the car and one for the truck too. Farck them cd's...I'm going all MP3 all the time.
Just out of curiosity how long did you unhook the battery ?
