new car

new car got delivered (punto grande 08) and i jump into it with excitement, put in a cd comp i had just burnt and it didn't read it, and now it won't eject

nothing

WHAT THE FUCK

how did this happen? i popped the head unit off and tryed to take the stereo apart, but i dont want to go any further cus i'll just break something

any way to resolve this? sick of listening to radio 1 already

I'm assuming this is a slot-loading CD player, right?

Even car companies are fighting against piracy.

yeah but it has these two plastic bits stopping the cd from coming out once it's in, so that's useless =(

Sounds like the eject mechanism/motor has died on you.

If it's under warranty, take it back - if the CD player has already gone tits up, what other problems does it have?

just the cd player

think it's a known issue with some shitty fiat stereos

fucking italy.

mo money mo problems

It's the eject mechanism that's broken, theres no way it's fitted with a "swallow the CD if it's pirated" mechanism, that would be monumentally fucking stupid. It's Fiat and they are notorious for this kind of shitty built interior design mechanisms, you ever see a factory Ferrari with a head unit? Thought not, thats because Italy cannot build a car interior (except seats).

Take it back and kick them in the fucking bollocks, fuck I hate Fiat.

Good job their engines are up to scratch these days.

Fuck Fiat, seriously.

this happened in my ford focus once. i looked online and here's what i did

took out the cd player and unplugged the power from it for about a min, plugged back in turned on car...woooo cd player reset and ejected cd and works fine now....apparently you can try disconnecting the car battery termnial if its too hard to take out the cd player but whatev.

Fix it again Tony!

my CD player did this with certain burnt CDs... I'd have to pry the CD out

I could really promote my car club here, but I'm not going to.

This happens sometimes in a lease car I drive and I just stomp on the console with my fist and it always pops out after a few punches.

Plus it's a great stress reliever.

Not a Fiat.
