I replaced by Becker factory system with a Sony double din, once it was all fitted and tested I went to remove my CD cassette from my changer in the front and nothing, it's like it's lost the power to eject!

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I replaced by Becker factory system with a Sony double din, once it was all fitted and tested I went to remove my CD cassette from my changer in the front and nothing, it's like it's lost the power to eject! Any ideas how I can get them out. The prospect of re-installing my becker just to eject these CDs is doing nothing for me!!!

POST 2Original post

It needs power to eject, I don't think there is a mechanical workaround. I assume the autochanger was powered from the original unit? A temporary 12v feed to the changer should allow the eject button to work.

POST 3Original post

i think the becker cd changer needs to be conected to the becker head unit to power it up so you can remove the discs.hope this helps

POST 4Original post

Sorry could not resist - which CD is it? "Stuck In The Middle" by Stealers Wheel Sorry no help I know but others Im sure will help or post another CD Title[ ]

POST 5Original post

Not helpful but bumps the thread to top. The only one I can think of is: "STUCK ON YOU" Lionel Richie

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for all the replies guys - enjoyed the song titles too! Being an idiot when it comes to anything electrical - how do I go about putting a temporary 12v feed to the changer???

POST 7Original post

Wiring diagram can be found here: http://www.cannell.co.uk/996_Workshop_Manuals/996%20Wiring%201999-2000.pdf See sheet 17 of pdf document for M692 multichanger. I am not going to advise which pins of the plug to put 12v onto. Maybe someone else will take responsibility for that?

POST 8Original post

Following info provided without the usual caveats: I take no responsibility whatsoever! From another Becker info sheet I found. Green plug that was connected to main unit pins 8 ignition, 9 ground. These would be pins 8 and 9 at the CD unit connector as can been seen on the wiring diagram. Good luck.
