December 2, 2008 7:29 AM Subscribe How can I retrieve my CDs from my broken car stereo? Better yet, how can I make it work? I have a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. About a year ago I was driving and listening to a CD in the 6-disc changer and out of nowhere the music stopped. I looked at the display screen and it said "MECH ERROR". In the car's manual, the description for "MECH ERROR" reads something like "There is a mechanical error. See dealer". Obviously, I would rather not "see dealer". I don't know if this is under my warranty or not, and http://www.wranglerforum.com/f274/mech-error-201323.html frankly I don't really care. I just don't want to drive out to the dealership, leave my car there for two days, and have to hitch rides. Is there ANY possible way to get my CDs out of my CD player? I have tried pressing eject and it just tells me there is an error and cannot eject the discs... Of course, my six favorite CDs are in the player, including a Kinks album that I cannot find anywhere else, so http://ask.metafilter.com/108178/How-to-retrieve-CDs-from-a-broken-car-stereo I would really like to have them back. Bonus points if you can tell me how to fix this problem without having to "see dealer". posted by junipero to Technology (7 answers total) It could be anything, really. Try a to blow some compressed air through it. There might be some dust or a pebble or something wedged somewhere, especially if it's mounted under a seat.posted by Harald74 at 7:47 AM on December 2, 2008 If it's truly a mechanical error then something inside the changer is likely busted, out of place, or otherwise somehow wonky. To get the CDs out will most likely require disassembling the unit carefully until you can reach the CDs and extract them. Assuming this is in an in-dash player you'll have to pull it from the dash first. Before I did all that, though, I'd try disconnecting the battery and leaving it for awhile, maybe half an hour or so. That might be enough to reset the unit allowing you to retrieve the CDs. Probably won't work but it's worth trying just in case. Have fun! The process will be something of a PIA but it's certainly doable with care. But unless you want to do it as a learning experience try the dealer first in case it's still under warranty.posted by 6550 at 7:53 AM on December 2, 2008 The mechanism that shuttles the discs back and forth is jammed.

I had 5 CD's loaded, long road trip, got through them and was going to change them out. CD 1 came out, but the rest did not, long story short, I am getting a Mech Com Error so can not eject the rest of them. The radio itself is working, just not the CD part. I tried again this morning, but still no luck. Thanks!

It did this two or three times before it stopped coming out. I tried for an hour to get it out and gave up. The next day when I got in the car I hit eject and it came right out. Have not had any other problems.

While there found out there is a Rapid Response out for the Brake Fluid indicator sensor. I have to get in line for that one, there is a backlog on the part.
