Default AU stacker issue.

Hi guys i posted this in Audio Tech but hoping i can get more hits here.
1 cd started making a loud spinning sound when i loaded it in the stacker and it got stuck. I managed getting it out by the credit card method. Now that i did that the stacker now thinks my other cd's have been ejected. So whats the best way to get the others out??

i used to pull the stereo fuse and that would reset it. i am impressed that you have an au stacker that still works, i went through 3 in the warrenty period.

I've got a Series one stacker than still works perfectly. Not sure what series yours is, but this one is now just sitting in the boot doing nothing, because the car has an aftermarket head unit in it.

It's a series 2/3 premium stacker which has lasted me for almost 4 years now. It replaced the single cd unit in my Futura. Will this work on a BA ghia where 2 CDs are stuck in the one slot??

Yes it is. Series 1 AU stackers are a lot easier to deal with.

haha my stacker works just like the car. The harder you abuse it, the better it works lol.
EL I know how much better it is to go aftermarket but its not worth it as the car is the family hack. Plus I like the factory look.

Ebay sells facias with a coin tray underneath to fill the hole left by the double din stereo if you go aftermarket single din.

Does not really follow the factory look.

Good luck Aplito. Let us know which way you go.

Ok so an update. I first removed the fuse after i located it in my manual and nothing happened it just turned the cd player on/off. So i disconnected the battery and it now registers there are 4 cd's still in the stacker. So now its the waiting game, the stacker thinks about ejecting the cd then after a while it goes back to radio. It's done this a ton of times and i just wait it out until it finally spits the cd out.

Definitely sounds better than getting a cheap aftermarket head unit in ;)
