Car cd player won't read or accept cds

Previously this player would work but often had a very difficult time reading discs. then eventually it would read a cd and we hit a bump and it would get stuck in a "trying to read mode". one day a disc got stuck, wouldn't play, go in or go out. finally got it out but now it won't accept any cd. just takes it in and then spits it back out. what wrong with it? is it fixable? thanks
ps we have a foreign car called a Zafira in Brazil by chevrolet (so i selected the first make of 1500-sorry!)

    The cd player in my 2004 Trailblazer does the same thing sometimes. Now, it starts playing the cd, then shuts off and eventually ejects the cd and goes back to the radio.

Subaru Liberty. It won't read CDs the Radio works but when try playing a CD it say 'Error 6'.

Try using a CD Lens Cleaner disc on it, but the link suggests it is a disc transport issue. That would need a Clarion Service Centre. Clarion make it branded as Macintosh.

2007 toyota camry cd player reading error 1

I had the error code no. 1 in my 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It has the CD radio unit with JBL system. It will not eject the CD, or play it. I removed the entire radio/CD unit and replaced it with a used excellent unit bought off of ebay for $100, and the replacement works fine. However the replacement is also 7 years old. Therefore I would not be surprised if it failed again. Prior to the error 1 I had intermittent error 3 codes, which had the same effect: no playing of the CD, unable to eject, and unable to insert other CDs. Sometimes the error codes would go away, and the function would be normal. But once it started, I think it was on a downhill path. A new replacement is nearly $2000. Used are about $100 to $200 or more depending on the seller and condition of the unit. Youtube has videos on how to replace the unit which only requires simple tools: it is not difficult but takes about 45 minutes to an hour. If you do it you have to put the car in gear to move the gear shift gate, which requires the car to be on, so you should have the parking brake on for safety. One alternative is to send your unit to a repair company but that might cost more than simply replacing the unit. Good luck!

The CD player in my 2007 Kia Sportage has stopped reading CDs. It'll read "Load" when I insert them, but that's it. Either it ejects the disc or will read "No CD". I've tried original discs and burns, as...

may have a bad or dirty laser, alot of times its the belt that spins the disc or some dont use belt they use a motor without belt, i'm not to sure of the cost to repair but weve had a few repaired that we removed and sent out and there were no more than $150.00 and a couple were 90.00. i would try to remove the power from cd player, remove it and unplug the connector for a few minutes, then power it back up but dont reinstall it just in case this doesnt work and you want to replace it or repair it. hope this is helpful.

My 6 disc cd changer won't read cds

unplug the power to the cd player for about 10 minutes or so. usually that reqiures unhooking the car battery. if that radio is of the anti-theft variety make sure you know the code and how to enter it before you remove power
