Help!!! C5 CD changer will not eject
I just got this 2001 coupe with factory CD changer and decided to try it out. Yeah, I know... I should have read the instructions first, but it seemed so simple. OK... so now I know I incorrectly put the disc in the magazine upside down (label up). The problem is when I open the door the magazine will not eject. I can see that all the trays are going back in the magazine. Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks, Steve

I thought I had seen it before. From the FAQ. Good luck.

Flat head screwdriver, hit the white pin in the top center.
Or un-screw the case and push it out from behind.

OK, I tried hitting (how hard I wasn't sure?) the white pin on top and no luck. But maybe I didn't hit it hard enough. As far as pushing it out from the back...I haven't tried yet because I noticed on the bottom of the magazine about 2 inches in there is a white round pin that is sticking into the magazine from the changer. I'm thinking that until I get this pin to retract the magazine will not come out.

It's out
With some careful prying from a small screwdriver on each side of the magazine I got it to pop out. Reloaded the correct way and everything is working fine. Thanks, for the help.
