Smile cd eject

Hi Jerry,

Did you swap the whole audio unit?, or just the CD mechanism.. I also was trying to fix a C30 audio recently that also wouldn't eject the CD, I would suggest just taking the cd mechanism from your replacement, and fitting it to the original audio electronics from your car.. It only uses a simple zip connector, to release the end furthest from the CD unit, gently prise the sides of the connectors bar using a watchmakers or small screwdriver, then the flat cable comes out easily (if your not familiar with zif conns).

The actual issue on the cd mech i looked at was a rubber outer tube over a metal rod which is turns to eject the CD, but for some reason the rubber tube doesn't grip the bar and hence doesn't turn when the motor spins it.. but im pretty confident you can just swap the mechanism as its a generic cd reader module not made for volvo i suspect. Attached some pics incase of help
