12 CD Changer in 2000 C5
Didn't take my wife long to do it, but she thinks the CD Changer buttons are immediate like her digital playlists are in her modern car. She rapidly pushed the disc swap buttons and now the changer has 2 discs stuck. Any advice on:
1. easy way to get the discs released?
I see it's been many years since discussions on hooking up an iPod to the Aux Button.
2. Has there ever been Digital upgrade invented that can just plug and play directly into the Bose Changer wiring harness in the trunk?
3. Any other ideas to easily go digital?

Remove the changer from your car and open its cover. You will see that it is basically divided in 2 areas placed side-by-side, one to accommodate the magazine and another one where the selected disc gets extracted to and played.
Below the area that holds the loaded magazine, approximately centered with respect to it and opposite the loading door, there is a white plastic lever. If you action that lever, it will unlock the magazine. Just be careful because one of the trays or CDs might be stuck half way between the magazine and the playing area, preventing you from freely pulling the magazine. Be gentle!
