I've had my '96 XJ since August of '06, and the entire time, the CD changer hasn't worked. The reason I've procrastinated is that I usually just drive to work and back, or take my grilfriend out. When commuting, I'm listening to news or the local jazz station. When I'm driving with my girlfriend, I usually have the radio off so we can chat. But it won't be long before she'll want to listen to her Michael Bublé CDs in the car.

But all I get is error codes. Put CDs in the cartridge, put the cartridge in the player, hit the "Tape/CD" button and... "EE-02". Try to eject the cartrdige, and if it doesn't eject I get an "EE-01" code. Slide a piece of plastic under the cartridge, it pops out, and I get the "EE-02" code again. Close the trunk, go inside, have a Newcastle.

So... what can I try next? (Other than another brand of ale.)

Hahaha... no, I was thinking of something a bit less expensive. Preferably something that I can fix on the existing unit, like a connection or a cleaning or something. I've heard that Alpine will fix wayward CD changers for a flat fee of $150 (plus shipping), so that's probably my last resort. Unless somebody knows of a changer that will work with the factory head unit.

Hey buddy-

There is a place on ebay that sells a repair service for the changer, just go on ebay and search Jaguar CD Changer, and you''ll bump into it. I believe it is around $95 or so. Good luck my friend and enjoy those Newcastles

Hi,

I have a 95 X300 and found this thread after suffering the same EE-01 error code, with the CD changer refusing to release the magazine. Having first of all teken the changer apart to release the magazine, with no change in error code when the magazine was re-inserted, I then found the plastic card trick you mention.

The next thing I tried was to remove the magazine, and then switch on the power and switch on the radio/CD player and select CD I did not get the EE-02 code you mention however, but rather N0MAG. When I then inserted the magazine, lo and behold the CDs played again.

Hope this helps,

B
