Angry DAMN CD changer!!!!!

my CD changer won't read the ****ing CD anymore. When I put the magazine into the changer it won't pull out each CD to read it, instead it shows Magazine Empty. Anyone have this problem? The head unit still know there's a CD changer, but it just won't read. I didn't get it installed by the dealer, but I used everything MB parts down to the opt wire, will the dealership fix the problem as a warranty? or is the CD changer not part of the warranty? (of course i won't tell them i didn't get it from them)

My dealer basis his warranty claims on the VIN of the car. It tells them what came factory or dealer/port installed. I'm not sure how this would be with the dealers in CA. I would think they would do it as a courtesy since you got all MB parts. But just be prepared.

if you cannot get a warranty...the solution is fairly simple, just have d mechanicals inside d cd changer re-aligned by a reputable stereo shop. the cd changer is made by alpine, so an alpine tech can do it with ease. thats wat i did coz i didnt have single bit of warranty
