CD Changer Jammed
Hi everyone,
Been on the forum for a while but never posted until now. I did a search but nothing relatively helpful came up. The CD changer on my '07 is jammed. I was in the middle of switching CDs and one of the trays got stuck open and now will not retract back and the case will now not come out. My question is, is this something anyone has dealt with before? I have an extended warranty but have never dealt with the before and since its an audio component, I'm not sure if theyll try to screw me out paying for it. Should I call the dealership first and see if they'll find a loophole to make sure the warranty will cover it? (I'm almost sure they wont) Thanks for your help everyone

A few people have had this problem before. If it comes down to it, you'll need this:

The people that went through it reported that it was pretty easy to fix.

Your eject button is just broken thats about it.. I took mine apart and fixed it without buying a whole new unit.. I guess some people are always happy just like SA to swap parts.. If i have the time ill take mine apart again and post a DIY

Thanks for the quick responses. I think ultimately I'll end up doing it myself, just have to find the time I guess. I don't think its the eject button, when pressed I hear it trying to spit the magazine out but there's a small opening between the magazine and the cd changer and that where you can see that one of the trays is still out and is not retracting back into the magazine.

Before you get a new one just take it out and take it apart and see whats wrong with it.

+1 Take it out and try to fix it if they won't cover it.

CDC CHANGER ERROR DRIVER ERROR GUN5
Hi,
Mine is stuck...based on this error on COMAND "gun5" I assume that is the tray...
I see a stuck tray, piece to the right of the magazine, pushed pulled poked...nothing. Eject button illuminates, motor tries to drive tray every few tries. Tried shutting off COMAND while button was flashing...nothing. Tried sliding a thin piece of styrene under and over magazine...nothing.
Took out the unit...easy...but opening the unit after removing all the hardware proved harder...without a spare I did not want to go prying 11 year old plastic tabs...
Anyone find a good way to eject this stuck disc magazine?

Tray 4 was badly warped in two spots. Just got the magazine out...used small thin and long flat blade to work the stamped steel slots and follower coated in white grease to the far right of magazine behind door...worked the follower tab left and down while asking for it to eject...and by helping it, it popped it out...now need new magazine.
Not tray 5 like COMAND error "gun5" whatever that one is!

Hi I had a stuck CD cassette of 6 CD stuck in the changer of a 2005 SL500. I tried to push the button on the changer, green light came on but no joy. Changer is behind the driver's seat. I finally started to hit the side of the container behind the driver's seat, as well as the top at times pushing the button. Finally some clicks and clucks, green light on, and the cassette came out. After many tries of different CDs, etc. I still had occasions of stuck CD. I then decided to take more aggressive measure, and used some WD-40 with long tube, and sprayed inside the changer bottom, with cassette removed, as well as the cassette (with cds removed). In the last 2 days the changer has worked well with all CD - purchased and burned. I can select any CD from the main unit, and it will play it, as well as change CD after the last music was played.
