JBL CD-Player

[sport05]

My 05 JBL 6disk CD changer has not worked for about 2 years(radio works). It has had CDs stuck in there ever since.

About a week ago when I got in and turned on the ignition the CD player made a terrible clicking sound, as if there is a stuck/broken CD in the changer. It has continued to do this ever since. It lasts right around 30 seconds everytime.

I am assuming maybe one of the CDs finally gave out and broke?

Regardless, has anyone tried to take this apart and fix? I have read a few threads on here but not really any good information on fixing.

Seems like that once you take it apart it, the unit is done.

Would you suggest dropping 300 dollars for a new one or EBAY? Giving taking it apart a shot? Taking to someone to work on it?

I am really just out of ideas and wondered if anyone had any good advice.

Thanks

Sounds like it's toast anyway. Take it apart and get your CD's back. If the radio is all you need it will still work as long as you don't trash any of the wiring or ribbon cables inside. I doubt a CD broke inside. They are pretty tough unless hit on the edge with a pretty good force. It's probably just the mechanism trying to do something with parts in the way.

Sport05,

I just took my JBL disc changing HU out of my 05 SE to swap for a GPS/Nav unit. It works tip top and looks great! I was going to sell it on ebay for $130.00 but I'll let you have it for $80.00 if you are interested. I can send you pics as well. Just PM me if you are interested.

Preacher35,

Very interested!! I believe I sent you a pm, or at least attempted to. It doesn't show any outgoing messages after I sent it.

Regardless, I am interested. If you don't see that pm, try shooting me one. Thanks!
