Default Eject button doesnt work?

So I never use cd's.... what is this... the 90's?

However, the other day my little brother wanted to listen to a cd while we were in my car so I said ok. I hit the eject button and it makes an audible beep and you can feel the button click... but nothing. It just stays shut...

This is a touchscreen nav system. Any ideas?

Maybe pry it a little to try to help it along if there is nothing jammed in it.

Nav or no Nav if you are pushing the eject button, nothing opens. The disc just pops out. If no disc in there nothing happens. You say you never listen to CD's. Is there a disc in the player? Or are you saying you are pushing the Nav screen button on the bottom center of the frame and it doesn't open?

Some units have a "power eject" feature. If so, to activate just press and hold the eject button for 5 seconds.

Try shutting off the car and starting it up a few times.
Each time you start it back up, try opening the screen.
Another thing to try, is disconnect the battery for a few minutes, reconnect, then try opening the screen again.
Just my thoughts from my experience.
Good Luck

Yes the screen opens when you push the hard button on the lower center edge of the screen then another eject button for the top CD slot gets pushed.

I would try the disconnect/reconnect battery thing. My whole Nav locks up sometimes and no buttons work and blank screen. Disconnecting the battery for a second is the only way I've been able to get it back.
