Hi,

I purchased a 2003 mini cooper s (after being without mini since 2002 and had forgotten how fun it was to drive).

Anyhow, it has a iphone adapter added, which i am reasonable sure is 3rd party addon and that works fine, as does the radio.

However the CD player won't let me enter a CD and i get 'cd error' when i circle through the inputs.

Doing a google search and i can see that its either a dead head unit or there is a cd stuck in the drive.

As the gap is small and its covered with the felt stuff, i can't see into the unit to see if there is a cd there or not.

Is there a way to manually eject the cd, like the paperclip button on a lot of players? or another way to know if there is a cd there.

I tried removing the fuses for a while and putting them back but that didn't seem to work.

Any idea how much it would cost to get a new headunit. I don't want to hit the look, so would rather a proper mini one or equiv?

Thanks in advance.

I am guessing from the lack of replys that no one knows the solution.

Anyone know how much BMW (or anyone else that sells them) would charge for a replacement head unit?
