Great video. When I took mine apart the cover wouldn't come off. I ended taking the face plate off (as recommended in another video) which was a big mistake. It was very difficult to get off without damage and not necessary. The reason I couldn't get the cover off was because it wouldn't slide back or up because after 20+ years the rubber isolation dampers were stuck to the cover. A little silicon spray lessened them right up, but I couldn't see that until I got the face plate off and I could lift the cover sides away from the body. I would recommend putting a little dialectic grease on the dampers where they contact the cover in case you have to remove it in the future. These things are always easier the second time around. ;-)
Paul, Thanks for the feedback and sharing your experience, good information, regards Damian
I managed to get a widget that fits in between the CD changer and amplifier with a switch to allow MP3 input. The guy that made it had a web site that appears to be long gone unfortunately. The only drawback is the CD player needs to be playing for the amplifier to accept the input. I actually plan to go further and fit a Bluetooth connector to the audio input but I have more pressing things to deal with such as no central locking from the fob!
Very interesting video.
Graham, the Aux input via the CD lead seems the best solution to this issue. There is a company in the US selling a Bluetooth solution but a bit expensive. Trying the fix it route first. Thanks for the input and comment regards Damian
With a rebel yell, she cried more, more, more.
Gary, nice one👍, regards Damian
Thx , Dam. I have the same Problem : " no Disk". someday i will fix it.
Udo, unfortunately another glorious failure. Maybe it will get better as I use it and the grease gets time to work into the mechanism. Always the optimist. In the meantime time to look Bluetooth alternatives. Thanks for the comment regards Damian
A useful video, thanks. What silicone grease were you using? Some sprays are too runny - just want to get the correct one.
Paul, I would recommend using a white grease and silicone lubricant spray. The multichanger worked for a while a but it’s very temperamental. Use a Bluetooth tape more often now, regards Damian
Thanks for the great video, I opened my unit it loads the cd but it does not turn the cd. Checked the motor and it works. Any idea?
@hoomankhaghani8802, in the end mine stopped working too after my attempt at fixing. Found other solutions, reviewed in this video - ruclips.net/video/kG61K1GM-Bc/видео.html Finally, got it working faultlessly now. Thanks for your comment and interest in the channel, regards Damian
I’d recommend you mark the damper positions and reinstall in the same place. As they age and sag
Andy K, nice idea didn’t think of that. Great suggestion thanks Damian
In my case when my BMW e39 CD changer stopped working I took magazine out and removed every CD and then reinserted magazine. After turning CD player on it obviously displayed the "NO DISCS" message. Turned it off, put CDs back and turned CD player on. All discs are back in action and playing just fine.
I know it might not be everyone's solution but in some cases it obviously works.
💿🔊 🤔
👍Always best to start with the easy or obvious stuff first. Good advice, regards Damian

In my case it just stopped working for no reason when yesterday I tried to switch between two discs. It felt like a software issue than the ol' good grease one, as if its little brain got perpetually suspended in state of confusion, so offering it a full set of empty cartridges helped it to clear its mind. Literally.
I'm getting an E-01 error code on my 05 XKR. I notice they still make new Alpine 6 CD changers and they look the same size. Any chance they can be adapted to work?
Roy, tried something similar after my repair failed. Found repair was the best option and made a follow up video to explain. Hope that helps, regards Damian

If you install the front springs first, it makes it much easier.
Andy K, very good tip, I thought I did that in the reassembly section. Very fiddly to put back together even though not complex. Thanks for the comment, regards Damian
Hi great vid my CDC has also failed but my car is a soft top with all the hydraulic gubbins on top of the bracket would undoing the cdc fixing bolts with bracket in situ” work do you think ?
Thanks
NBmusoman, sorry can’t help as don’t have a convertible. It’s worth a try, regards Damian
@@ODRModurol ok yeah I suppose i just have to try ?
Thanks
I have a similar unit. With mine the slide mechanism will not move. I think the motor is dead.
@CortinasAndClassics, my CD changer has stopped again with 'No disc' error. Decided to try a guy I found on eBay offering Jag CD and radio repairs. Finger crossed I finally get it back working, regards Damian
@@ODRModurol I got mine working. Really pleased.
Nice one👍
My fix is to park the car and remove the changer 'magazine' then reinsert it. This usually seems to reboot things.
Libertarian, great info glad that works for your problem, regards Damian
Alright bud, great video, before I attempt to take mine apart I have a little question, I can't get my cd cartridge to eject, have you got any ideas what it could be ?? Cheers 👍
Steve, if I remember correctly the eject button pushes a separate micro switch which triggers the ejection of the cartridge. Sorry can't give you any other help as not had this issue with mine. Thanks for the comment regards Damian
@@ODRModurol hi Damian, not a problem pal, thanks for the reply 👍 Steve
Steve, no problem. Would be interest Ed in knowing more about the problem with you CD changer and the fix when you have done it. For future reference, much appreciated, regards Damian
@@ODRModurol it's got me baffled, there's no noise from the changer when I press the little blue eject button so either I've got no power coming to the changer or something inside has failed but I'll pull it apart and let you know if I have any success 👍
Steve, cheers good luck with the investigation and fix, regards Damian
My CDC doesn't want to spit mine out, but I'm getting an Android head unit in the next month or 2, so I'm not gonna worry about it
Jason, I think that the best solution as mine has stopped working again. The CD player has had its day and now on to media streaming from the phone. Thanks for the comment. Interested to here want head unit and surround you use, regards Damian
If was disappointing for it to be a premier but there was no fix! Anti climax!
Andy K, understood but wanted to show the steps I took to try to repair it. It does work better but not 100%. Maybe it will help prompt someone to find and share the solution. Believe it’s something electrical. Thanks for the comment sorry for the disappointment regards Damian
