Default Trunk Mounted CD Changer

Everything was fine.... Enjoying my CD Changer. Then, i decided to fill up the cartridge with discs. Only had two in, just to see if it would work properly. Filled all of the slots and now.... all i get is the "No Disc" message.

Take a look at this. It has helped some get it working again.

This made my cd changer work better than it did. But it did not fix it, Allthough changer has been working flawlessly this summer.. When you take that motor away from there. Beware it may bind suprisingly strong.

This is one of the weak spots in the x308 line. There seems to be a great number of X308 owners
with issues surrounding the CD player. After looking thru most of the "repairs" successfully performed,
it seems that the majority of these were mechanical failures, Most notably the nylon screw drive that
operates the CD pick up mechanism. In today's world, we would just plug in a SD card or pair our phone
and call it good, however merging modern technology with old is sometimes frustrating. There are count-
less postings from those who upgraded their systems, and I am happy if they actually got what they wanted.
I chose a different route and although it was not expensive, it performs flawlessly,
