have you tried to disconnect the ground from the battery then reconnect it? it should pop the cd out when its reconnected.

Ive heard this problem before actually.

sadly I cant remember the solution, it was easy tho...

Im gonna say try putting another CD in... even if there are 6 in there, just stick another one in(use a blank CD-R of possible just to be safe)

that should do it, it seems it sometimes gets jammed. I personally havent had the problem, but then again, I got the car a year ago, put 6 CDs in and have never taken them out since... so of course I havent had the problem.

could try a search, as I know it was discussed, no clue what to look for tho.

I got a 04 Base model, since the 1st CD I put in the CD player, it never come out. When I hit the eject button, I hread it try to eject it, nothing come out. After waiting for 4 weeks(back order parts), finally Nissan dealer replace the CD unit. Of couse they took my CD (not CDr/CDwr)too.

Hey Konverter, I had the same problem with mine. Totally sucked because it was maybe 3 months after I had the car when it happened.

I came up with a pretty simple solution. I dont know if you can get your hands on a small lockpick kit but I just happened to have one (dont ask why) and I used one of the small hook tipped ones and put it in the cd player. I hooked the middle circle of the cd, pulled a little bit and it just popped out. I put another cd in there and everything was still perfect. Like I said I dont know if you have a lockpick kit but that was an extremely easy fix for me.

Lemme know how it goes.

Jeff
