The cd player in my car wont eject my cds, at first it said ERROR and i kept trying to eject cds and it was making whirling noises as if it was trying to spit them out

now i have no noises the Eject button doesnt do anything .

Most CD players have a small hole where you can insert a pin and manually eject the CD. Not sure if that's the case with the RL CD player, but it's worth a look.

do any of the CD's have labels on them? I know thats a common cause for jamming up the eject mechanism.

Can you still change between disks?

I'm 99% sure there is no eject hole because its a changer... If it was me I would pull the audio unit and go to town taking it apart but thats just me lol...

Blah i really didnt want to take it apart cause i have no warranty.
I mean i could take it apart . I have the technical experience, but then my car will be apart for a few days , might as well order the audio input / dvd input / back up camera since im taking it all apart

Thanks for the update - good to know a possible work-around for a problem that others may encounter.

I had the same exact thing happen to the CD player on my 3G TL. It wouldn't eject nor change CDs. Initially made noises as if trying to eject but soon did nothing. I was out of warranty. I took it to the dealer, they said only fix was a full replacement for over $1100 plus labor. I said forget it.

I left it alone. A couple of months, it spit it out on it's own. I am glad you posted a potential work around.

sounds like you need to get an IPOD adaptor! those don't get stuck.

I have found that ocne I had XM, I was listening to that more than my CDs....
