Comand would not insert the map CD-DVD and how to fix it. If this can help any here

The comand on my car would not insert the map CD or any other CD since 2 white plastic tabs where sticking up inside in the slot (marked nr 2 in the drawing)

There is also 2 thin plastic tabs that is spring loaded on each side in the slot and if you push the left towards the left side in the slot and push eject at the same time the comand will eject but on my car nothing more happened
So i pushed th laft thin plastic tab to the left and inserted a CD and when the CD was drawn into the slot it made some terrible noise so i pushed eject at once so the CD came back out again
I then pushed eject one more time and behold out came another CD so without me knowing it there was a stuck CD in the comand

After i did this everything have worked as it is supposed to and it have so for a couple of weeks.

The 2 whte large plastic tabs marked 2 that stick up in the slot must stick up after a CD have been inserted and you can get out a stuck CD by pressing the left white thin plastic rod to the lef while pressing eject and inserting another CD
So when the second CD is going into the slot there wil make some rattling noise so you press ejact and this should free up the stuck CD: Meaning that the second CD you put in probably will free the stuck CD

Hope this makes sence and this worked on my car. It was at the max a 10 minute job

Below is a drawing of the slot and the white plastic tabs

I am quite sure that the largest white plastic tabs marked 2 that stick up in the slot aare sticking up because there already is a CD inside
