Hello all, I recently purchased a 14 X3. PO had CD in dash player which I ejected. Now while car is running the player is stuck on eject mode. running cycle every 5-10 seconds. Does stop once vehicle is in sleep mode. Any ideas on how to stop this? TIA

What happens if you insert CD and attempt to play?

Sounds like something may have been bent inside the player. I would take it out of the dash, take the cover off and poke around to see if anything looks suspiciously out of place, missing, etc. You can power it up on a bench with a 12v power supply. Some use an optical sensor which might be damaged, have failed or?

Before you ejected it initially, what did it do? Nothing, error msg, constant searching, ???

Appears may be mechanical issue- remove and partial disassembly/inspect.

No error messages. Just pushed the eject button to see if the PO had left anything.....Garth Brooks....

Good advice. Sometimes things just need to be taken apart and looked at. I've fixed more than a few things that way even though nothing was apparent.

Call Garth It could also be that it needs a good cleaning, possibly the optical sensor is partially blocked by who knows what and thinks there's always a disc in there but can't read it so it continually tries to eject it. When CD players first came out with optical disc sensing, you used to be able to buy a cloth-like stiff disc that you put cleaning fluid on and loaded it into the player. Just pull the player out of the dash and pull the cover off and poke around and clean it.
