its the built in satnav cd player unit



i just cant get the cd out...just shows on screen cd error,typical i dont even use it .my mrs puts a crappy now watever cd in and now its stuck...there goes my on board sat nav

tired a pair of tweezers in the slot?

from wat ive read it seems im gonna have to pull the whole unit out

no harm in trying a pair of tweezers

To remove a stuck CD, you need to remove the top cover then remove the screw holding the eject motor. You'll need a T6 screwdriver for the screw.

Lift the motor up just enough so you can get a finger on the edge of the white plastic gear wheel (arrowed red) then turn the gear wheel clockwise until the CD comes out.

As you turn the gear wheel, the metal tab (arrowed yellow) should move to the left and the CD should start to come out. You can only turn the gear wheel a small amount at a time, so each time you need to release it, hold the tab so it doesn't spring back then turn the gear wheel a bit more until the CD is out.

DID U MANAGE TO GET THE WHOLE HARNESS OUT??? SORRY FOR CAPS..lazy

If you mean all the connectors on the back of the CN+, then yes.

Don't lift the motor up too much, it has 2 very thin wires that could break if you do.

did u have to strip out the steering colum and glove box.ive 2 sets of wires that i couldnt get to?

No... all the connectors just pull out from the rear of the CN+.

As I remember, the power supply and speaker connectors that go in the top 2 black sockets have locking clips that you squeeze together while pulling the connectors out.

The bottom black socket could have up to 3 different colour connectors that are clipped together. Each of them has a plastic locking clip that you hold while pulling the connector out.

The white CANBUS connector has a lever locking mechanism. The connector comes out as you lift the lever.

The GPS and GSM aerial sockets have small locking bumps that you may have to push in while pulling the connector out.

The radio aerial just pulls out.

You will need to remove the complete dashboard if you want to get the wiring loom out. But you only need to take the CN+ out to remove a stuck CD.

I don't know for sure, but I doubt Magneti Marelli would have designed in the facility to add a phone to a unit that already has a phone.

You can add an iPod to one of the CD changer emulators, such as LoudLink, that are designed for the CN+.

top post bud.

ive got my cd out and now have a spare connectnav+ yay. in the end i settled for the harness connectors out of the car as i didnt have time to rip the full dash out

im hoping to put it into my 300zx as im also in the middle of doing more work on that aswell.i should be able to get the system in as i also have a supplier who makes custom carbon parts for me so if all goes well i'll have a nice setup in me 300zx aswell

thanks for help and advice guys.
by the way the cd stuck in the connect nav was my stilo workshop manual.lol dont ask hehe,id put it in the cd player thinking it was another disc just bfr i wrote the car off.davren you are a top fella.thanks.jay

also regarding the iphone ive just been to maplins and met a member of staff who when i explained about the stilo connecvt nav,he asked if id been having fun as the stilos are a nightmare!!!(HE HAD COILPACK PROBS CHANGING ALMOST EVERY MONTH....he only used to have a stilo lol !
anyway he was loads of help and told me about the bluechip FM TRANSMITTER & IN CAR CHARGER..
basically you set the fm frequency on both the connectnav radio and the bluechip transmitter and i can now play all my tunes stored on my iphone/ipod.

it also turns off the music when i have an incoming call
YAY!!!

works a treat aswell ,well worth £15
how lucky was i to meet a fellow stilo owner who knew exactly what i wanted:worship::worship:
