I swapped out my CD changer for the iPod adaptor, and of course I forgot to take the CD's out!

Any idea how to get them out now??

Usually, there's some sort of manual (mechanical) eject but I'd have to look at mine. I'm worried that because there is a magazine involved, the unit might need power applied to it before it can unload...

I'll try to take a look but hopefully someone else that's messed around with this a little more can chime in...

the ipod adaptor - was this the bmw one? did you need to get the car reprogrammed to use it?

I dono if it applies to the CD changer as well, but when I got my MASK replaced, I left a CD in there, and there's no way to get it out, the dealer said, it needs to be plugged into a car, not even just 12V will allow the CD to be ejected, it needs to be plugged into a car. So I dono if its the same for the changer, it might be tho. Or else just try to get 12V into the CD changer, and try pressing the eject button.

I think you can plug the changer in in the trunk. Remvoe the left access panel and I beleive there is a power hookup there that will allow you to eject the magazine. That'll save you the hassle of yanking the iPod adaptor out.
