cd magazine get me out! 2006 750i

I can't seem to remove my cd magazine. It is filled with discs, will change and play all 6 discs but will not eject. I notice that a disc stays loaded in the player. I tried inserting a disc in the radio to get it to retract with no success. I assume it must retract all discs to be able to eject. The door also stays partially open. I don't think my CPO covers this. Any suggestions?

CPO won't cover this unfortuntately. Audio systems are excluded from CPO.

If you have INPA and/or DIS you can force a CD changer reset which will unload the cd and allow you to remove the cartridge. The dealer can do this for you, but they will probably want money unless you have it in the shop for some other reason.

If you end up needing a new changer, I have one from a 2007 that I would be willing to sell you for a good price.

Mine does the same thing, you have to lift up the cover door and try to push/pull it out and it will come out. The ejection button alone won't eject it but trying to move it around a bit and it should come out.

I'm having the same problem as well.

I have all six slots full of discs, but it won't eject. Nor will the system recognize theres discs inserted.
Also, when I insert a disk into the... radio (?), it'll recognize it's inserted (not play the songs) & about 30 seconds later, the CD will quit loading & I'll have to eject it. Even if I press scan and all.

guys I had the same issue... but after I took it in, they determined it was "jammed" and quoted me $890.00 to fix it. I left and few days later.. it fixed it self. Luckily because the car sat and wasn't driven for a week... it started shutting down unused systems to save battery power. After getting fully charged everything was back to normal. .....
....hope this helps...

Do you need to remove whole changer? Or do you need to remove stuck cartridge? Because stuck cartridge is a 30 second or less fix.

You have power going to your changer right? There is a tab all the way to the right that will send your disc back into the changer. Once that happens slide it back to the left and It will spit cartridge out. If u need I can grab my spare changer and take pics of tabs so you know what to aim for.

I know this is an older thread, but I just tried this to get my magazine out and it works! Thanks!

Just a note. It didn't work on the first few attempts, but I found that when you slide the knife to the left side, keep the tip of the knife tight into the left hand corner while you move the handle to the right. Out it comes. I then retried the steps, and moving the handle to the right was the only thing that worked (for me).

Thanks to all for another helpful tip
