in dash cd-player. burned cd stuck, will not come out.
Dealer said there was a problem with burned cd's. They will not replace the
radio or try to fix.

Anyone else had something like this to happen, and how did you fix it.

thanks

david

 

Lesson learned. Don't tell them it's a burned CD until they get it out
or replace it! Ouch.

A couple of things I would try:

- Power it on while holding your finger on the eject button.

- With unit on, power off/on the Ignition while holding the eject button.

- If it's a multi disk player, try loading/ejecting another worthless
disk, then your problem disk.

- Look for a reset button on the unit.

- Completely remove power to the unit, wait, then reapply power, try to
eject.

Unless the owner's manual SPECIFICALLY warns against using homemade CDs call
the regional office.

My '02 WJ only warns against CDs other than the "standard" 4.75 inch size.
I take this to mean I cannot use the "mini-CDs" in my player.

Perhaps he meant to say that (home) burned CDs sometimes don't play because
of read errors. You get around this by burning them at a slow speed. 4X-8X
usually work fine.

There should be no reason that a CD that you burned should cause it to
jam... Now, if you put a paper label on the CD and it increased the
thickness of the CD beyond what is within the tolerances for the drive, then
it is your fault... Hell, CD/MP3 players are cheap and you would come out
better with getting one of the new MP3-CD players so that you can put more
music on a CD anyway... I've seen the DVD players (minus screen) for less
than $100 -- that would allow A LOT of music on a single disk... Sometimes,
I wish they a would just build vehicles with everything *except* the factory
audio installed... It's usually crap and overpriced to boot...
