Piece of crap CD player!!!
My single-disk OEM CD player had been working fine for a year and a half, and today the eject/feed mechanism decided to malfunction! The CD that was in the player would not fully eject--it was if it was getting stock somehow. So I took some tweezers and managed to pull it out. Now CDs will not properly feed into the player. Actually, the feed mechanism only grabs the CD and pulls it about an inch before stopping. Applying force to the CD doesn't help at all. Has anyone else had such a problem or heard of someone who did? I did a search and could not find anything.
I have a feeling the entire head unit will need to be replaced, because I doubt the service techs will actually work on the internals of the CD player. What I want to know is if this would be a good opportunity to upgrade to the MP3 player. I know replacement of the single-disk player is covered under warranty, so do you think I could get the MP3 player installed by paying the difference in price between the units? If so, that would be nice. If they won't do it for me, I'd hope they'd at least cover the labor for installing the MP3 unit.

Anybody interested in a stock CD player?? I had my stock unit for about a week before I upgraded to a MP3 Unit. Luckily the MP3 unit has been running close to 2 years without issue. Just the shipping will be close to $10 bucks.. PM me if you're interested...
