'03 problem - CD changer

[EuropaCar]

the car runs great but recently i encountered a very annoying issue
while i was listening to my CDs, as it began to switch to the next CD in the changer, I heard like a flicking sound. Then it told me there was a CD error and began to eject the CD. But half-way through the process of ejection, I hit CD, and it took the CD back in. Now it won't play the CDs, saying there's a CD error, and when it goes to eject the CDs it says there's an ejection error. So I can't even get the CDs out.

Briefly: the CD player says CD error and tries to eject, but then says ejection error.
Also, when I press CD, it doesn't sound like it's actually trying to play the CD, for it merely opens and closes the CD slot thrice and then displays the error message.

It sounds like the CD jammed up the sliding tray when changing CD's. This is a common problem with factory CD Changers. All you can do is remove the unit from the vehicle, and disassemble it to remove your CD's.

My advice to everyone is upgrade factory sound systems if you can fit it into your budget(deck, CD changer, speakers, ect.) with aftermarket components. Even sound systems and accessories sold at Wal-Mart are much better quality than factory components, and even lower in price. Have you ever priced a CD changer or factory stereo through a dealership? I believe they run about $200-$400, almost 3X the amount you would pay for the much better Wal-Mart quality!
