Happens to me once and awhile... Just pull the radio/ Cd changer fuse in the drivers side of the dash for a min or so. It will reset the Audio Gateway.. As far as MP3's, thik you have to buy the newer changer that supports MP3 playback..

I had a similar experience a while back and need to power cycle the radio several times to get it to finally eject. Each time you could hear it trying to eject, I'd wait a minute power cycle it, and try again. Usually worked after a few tries.

Good luck!

They would charge good money but a good dealer might also update one or more of the control boxes (AGW or others) and the issue might go away.
