I Have the same unit in my 2001 Frontier, When that err3 showed i decided to open the unit myself and try to fix it. When i got it open the first thing i did is to give it a good looking over to see if there were any loose parts or disconnections. I found a small white plastic gear loose inside the unit. it took me several minutes to locate where the gear went, but i was able to put back where it belonged(the gear was for the roller that feeds the disc in and out of the unit) at the top right front corner of the unit. If you decide to try it, becareful with all the sensitive parts.
Unfortunately, after I put the gear back and got everything reinstalled, I heard the grinding noise again and received the err3 again. I removed and opened the unit again to see if the gear came off again. The answer is NO, it was right where it supposed to be. So This tells me that there is a mechanical problem. Which unfortunatley out of frustration i decided not try and figure out.
I was able to eject all 6 of my disc, this took some time, alot of time. All I did Was remove the unit and on the back bottom left corner you can see a white gear about a 1/2" wide. You can remove most of the exterior plates for easy access, but i just used a small flat head screw driver and carefully turned the gear clockwise. Like i said this will take some time.
Apparantly this is a major problem with these 6 disc in dash players.
Alpine and has a unit that will work with these systems, even with the steering wheel controls. This is the route i decided to take. i may not be able to get another 6 disk changer, but with the new alpine unit i will be able to hook up an iPod(Much more convienent. I will let ya'll know how it turns out.

There is a good chance that it is a anti-theft model. If it is, you will need the code to use the system.
the term for this is reject. not eject. and if it seems to be migrating downward or outward then its rejecting. take it out. theres no way to stop this.
How do i remove a stuck Cd from my 2005 Toyota Highlander? The CDs will not eject.
Take another CD put it partically into the CD slot and try and eject the stuck one's. The CD's will grip together and allow you to pull the stuck one's out. It works this used to happen to me all the time using Bootleg CD's.
I have 4 emperors and if you see anything smeared on the glass it simple right before the stinger, the dip is and has no exoskeleton showing, if you ever notice them lay their tail down flat, it's because they are taking a dump on the ground
One way to get a disc unstuck from a 6 disc changer is to try to hit eject while the car is off. This sometimes forces the disc to eject.
To remove a CD from an Alpine 6 CD changer, hit the eject button. The button is in either the top right or top left hand corner.
Mine is in the trunk on the far right. You slide open the door of the changer and push the eject button located on the bottom left.
Press the CD eject button !!!
use an old cd, slide it JUST A LITTLE under the one stuck and press the eject button, they do that for some strange reason......sometimes use an old cd, slide it JUST A LITTLE under the one stuck and press the eject button, they do that for some strange reason......sometimes
According to the 2002 Lincoln Town Car Owner Guide : If it is equipped with a 6 disc CD changer , it is in the trunk
You can't take it and and get it fixed The cd's are jammed...Doers it give an error code?
Press the eject button.
for the front, just slide it in the slot, for the changer, press the eject buttong and the CD holder ("cassette") will come out. Put the cds in the cassette and put the cassette back in the changer
I too have the same problem Brother.... Did you find any solutions ???? if so please mail me randikaratnayake @ gmail.com
The CD changer is located in the trunk - back, left-hand corner. The lid lifts up from the top and pivots towards you. Slide the cover to the right and push the button to eject the cartridge.
It's because your car is a whack car. Your best choice would be to lose the piece of junk!!
