In Dash 6 Disc Cd Changer ( on the fritz ). - Honda Pilot

cofetym · 10-25-2010, 11:53 PM

Will not eject or load. Tried disconnecting the battery and resetting the radio code. Unit keeps on cycling and then finally stops.
The changer lights all light up, number 1 is amber and the rest are green.
Found Hondamans post and have sent him a pm hoping that he might have a solution.
Haven't seen his posts in awhile and wondering if anyone else has encountered this and found a fix.
In the unlikely event that I have to send it off for repair, any suggestions on a good online repair shops would be greatly appreciated.

Replace.

Or go ipod

My cassette adapter is working pretty good with my ipod/touch.
If the cassette gives out then I'll shell out for other alternatives.
Do they have a cubby to replace the changer spot ?

My reply is very unusual, this happened to me couple a day ago, when my wife went off to snow area, came down and parked the car in my garage, then next two days, the battery went dead, perhaps my baby went in and play with the lights...anyway, jumpstarted it and bam...my cd changer went like a casino lights,like (Cofetym) describes, i thought it was the radio code, so i enter it in, but still it didn't worked. I turned off the car, thinkin' just having time for itself to reset, but nothing, still the same, I tried to observe when it's doin the casino lights effects, seems like it is stuck or something is not working inside, so I though it could have been the freezing effects of the snow area...that's just my guess, so out of my despiration, I gave 2-4 strong blows (using the side of my hand) infront of the CD changer and it worked, went to normal. I don't know, it's just may be the CD's inside were stuck and then the changer couldn't figure it out, that is why it's going crazy. It worked for me, but may or may not work for others, very unorthodox repair.

Worth a try but not working for me unfortunately.

I have the same problem as the cofetym. We have had one disc in there for a long time that we just leave in. The wife put in a CD from the library and then I couldn't eject either one. Then, she added another...now I can't get any of them out. I tried the reset idea and I get the casino lights that end with amber on 1 and the rest are green. Unfortunately, I cannot get the library CD's out now. Any suggestions as this audio book is going to cost us.

Our DVD player has stopping issues as well. Is anyone having this problem as well? Any ideas?
