Default 01 twelve disc player jammed up

You do not provide much details... I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the problem you are having is that you can't eject the magazine.

If you 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 and you should have no problem. Hope this helps!

Note: having your CD changer removed shouldn't affect your car battery.

Replace it with an Ipod conversion, you'll be glad you did.
No more skipping when you corner hard and you still control it from the factory radio controls. Cd's are old news..and more trouble than they are worth.
