2007 CD won't eject

[Gregg Eshelman]

It's the basic CD radio with MP3 playing. I've been stuck listening to the same disc of MP3 files for quite a while because attempting to eject it just clicks a bunch and gives me an error message.

I had that same problem. It was caused by using a cd I recorded myself and attached a paper label. It could be the label.

There's no label on it

Sounds about right for a 16 year old player. They do that. You can take it apart to get the CD out but prepare for a battle with it. Been there with my 2008.

Any how-to's on pulling the radio? Seems I also need to repair or replace the lighter socket that's on the same silver plastic panel. May as well do a two-fer fix.

Any kits out there for installing an aftermarket stereo that works with the subwoofer in the back?

I just went through that in my 2007.

I used the Metra 95-5812 kit with Metra 70-5520 wiring harness and Metra 40-CR10 antenna adapter. It really wasn't that bad except that there is no switched power in the harness. Took me a while to figure that out. You will have to wire that to switched power somewhere else or there may be a kit that handles that. The Metra XSVI-5520 *might* take care of that power issue, however I discovered it after I did the install.

I also installed a backup cam with the stereo upgrade which wasn't too bad.

Who plays CD's anymore?

Once you see that video, you'll realize how easy it is to pull the radio. Just get yourself a set of those plastic trim tools.

My 2008 had the basic stock radio/CD player when I bought it (used). Ended up finding the upgraded version with GPS on EBay for ~$125. Only had to add the GPS antenna (from Amazon) and I was good to go.

Still not a great audio system, but a bit more modern looking and has the GPS functionality.
