I have a 1992 XJR, only had it 3 weeks or so, but I the CD player isnt working ! (it was) it has a 6 disc changer in the boot, now, the other day I put 3 discs in the cartridge put it back into the player, but when I try and play a CD I get a message E-01, now the magazine will not eject, when I consult the owners manual it says; Cause - Disc-change malfunction - Solution - Consult your jaguar dealer !
Surely there must be an easy way to fix this other than "consult the dealer ?
Is it that I may have put the magazine in the wrong way ? but I am positive I put it in the correct way - the way the arrows direct on the magazine itself !

 

If you are a handy sort, take it out of the car and remove the cover. There is a lug that holds the cartridge in the unit that can be released manually. However, if there's a disc partially in or out of the cartridge, the player has to be manually cycled to either eject or insert the disc. Usually the cartridge not ejecting issue is due to a disc not fully disengaged.
There are you tube videos on fixing these things, they are Alpine units. I repaired and replaced several over the years but eventually went for the Yatour system.

Thanks Larry, I'll check out youtube, what the Yatour system ?

 

The Yatour M-bus for Alpine (Jag XJ40) head units is a CD changer digital replacement that hooks up to the Jag DIN cable in the trunk and is controlled by the head unit, just like a "real" CD changer. Of course it doesn't take CD's it plays MP3's.

here's one
