Anyone know how to get the CDs out of a Mach 460 after it says, "CD Error"? I was listening to the cd player on the way to work and when I got in the lot I tried to eject one of the CDs and got the error message. Now I cant even listen to the CD, change to another CD, or eject the current one.

IF this is an emergency...

I haven't had that happen so the first thing I would do is either pull the fuse then put it back or disco the + battery cable for a few seconds then re-attach it. Doing either should blank out the radio(clocks and presets also) But you may want to wait until someone else posts that maybe has had this same problem....it might take something really easy to get it to spit your CD out.

Mine did that a few months ago. It seemed that the CD was getting hung up when trying to eject. I could see the edge of the stuck CD so I just used a key/small flat screwdriver/another CD to lift up on the edge of the stuck CD to free it.

Aaah

So what you guys are really saying is he needs to replace the head-unit with a nice aftermarket one!

My problem-solving perspective = Have a lose screw...replace half the car.

Happened to me also, I took a knife and nudged the CD till it came out,

I did not talk nice to it though, I talked dirty to it. I think it likes it. Then I decided to upgrade the whole system. I am such a playa

I had it happen with a Pink Floyd CD. It seems to be just a bit thicker than most CDs. I used a calling card/credit card to get it out. Slide it between the top of the CD and the mechanism that it is stuck in and with a little downward pressure, it should slide out. Then rememeber what CD it is and don't use it in the stang again...

Good Luck.

I only had it happen once. IMO the problem is with the CD, not the head unit...

poked at it with a my work ID and it came out. I went ahead and tried to eject the other 5 adn 3 of em hung up. They do seem to be the ones with the slighty thicker labels even though they are originals not copies.

This happens to me all the time...and I do the same thing. You can also substitute the credit card with another CD, or anything else flat.

Yeah, it's a common problem with a CD with a label on it. Power clycling the accessory switch usually gives you another shot at ejecting the CD. I usually just slide another CD on top and drag the stuck one out. Big nuisance first time, but once I got the trick, it's no problem.

IMO, if you have to be careful of the thickness of your CDs or if your CDs have labels on them before you stick them in your player~ the problem is with the player.

I've had the cd error message, i banged, i turned off the car, when i came back in the morning it had puked it out by itself.
