Removal of 6-disc CD Changer

Hamdog

Hey guys,

The CD Changer is stuck in the unit and will not eject. Original Sony system. Also, you cannot load a single CD directly into the unit. You can flop open the face plate and try to slide it in but it will not "grab" it and load. Any suggestions on either issue?

Thanks.

What's a CD?

Buy a new single din radio and abandon the cd changer. Everything is bluetooth to an mp3 player now anyway. I had your exact boat. I bought a new unit with satellite and apple hook ups for like $120.00. It even worked with the existing remotes. I believe it was kenwood.

 I have an ipod hookup and that works great but last weekend a guy on a different boat asked me to play a CD. Just brought to the surface a long dead issue. I will live with it as we don't play CD's anyway.

Thanks.

I agree with Explore7425, ditch the old Sony stuff and buy a good Bluetooth head unit. I just installed an Alpine UTE-52 BT in my boat and couldn't be happier. I also have the Alpine RF marine remote so I can control the songs, volume and music from anywhere inside or outside the boat. The Alpine RF remote system is also expandable to six remotes. Works great!
