Mine got stuck once but it's because my radar detector cord got in the way....I know, I shouldn't have a cord on my dash...to lazy

Try pulling battery and see if it resets.

My '04 E500 did that, too. It will reset, but it may happen again. they ended up replacing the CD changer. I guess they can't just fix the door.

That happened to us, the whole unit was shot had to get a new changer. Hope your problem is easier to fix. Does your CD player still work? Wolf

The CDC door mechanism closes when I lock the car. As soon as I select CDC in the COMMAND, or any of the 6 CD buttons the changer system locks up. Then the button to close the CDC door is not operational either and it stays open until I lock the car and then it shuts.

Seems like some lose connection at back of changer. Anyone fiddled with the CDC unit much ? I.e. could it be a simple lose lead or something ?

Would a COMMAND reset help?
