2001 ML320 CD CHANGER WILL NOT EJECT MAGAZINE-RADIO CONSOLE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE CHANGER
#12
I have the same issue as several posters. Control system does not recognize that the cd magazine of 6 cds is loaded and it will not eject. There must be a simpler solution than replacing the whole unit. Person that posts the solution I will send $50 to (promise)!!!!!

No Changer
I did the repair - before finding this posting - Miko describes the reapir to last detail. Unfortunately for me, the mechanical problem being fixed, I am no faced with the "No Changer"message.
Anybody any suggestions?
Thanke you!

I solved the problem... kinda...
I own a 2002 ML 320 and after parking and driving out, I noticed the CD changer stopped working. So I came home and found this forum.
After trying to pull the CD changer out, I accidentally smacked the CD changed with my knee... Once that happened, a whirling sound happened and the cartridge popped right out! I put it back in and tried to listen to the CDs and it worked! I went back, opened it and tried ejecting the cartridge and it seems everything worked....
So I'd suggest (if you want) to give it a good smack on the side and see if it allows it to pop up.

Possible reason for cartridge not ejecting
I had a similar problem on my 2000 S500. This post is only in regards to the inability to eject the magazine. My system is a ten disk changer so this may not apply.
I too had a lot of "CD's" that I had burned and frequently I could not get the magazine to eject (other than through dogged persistence). Eventually I started taking a very close look at what was happening. I found that tolerances in the CD changer were so close that the sticky labels that I had on my CD's (Full CD size inkjet printed label) were getting hung up in the changer. I stopped using the labels (just wrote on the CD's with a sharpie) and never again had a magazine ejection problem
Hope that helps.

"No Changer" issue fixed
They prove it every time you call them don't they "Dealers are stealers". You don't need to spend even a single penny to fix this problem. Its probably a CD that has got stuck in the changer for one of the many reasons. Like one post suggested, just give your CD changer a good smack or two and it will start working again. It worked for me!!!

Cassettte retrieved!
Well, after posting about the same problem, I then went and searched the board... A combo of 'tough love' and activating the release switch with a thin piece of sturdy plastic while pushing the eject button gave me what I wanted: The cassette from my CLK500. After I remove the burned disk (which come to find the changer does not like the flavor of) I'll try it again! Thank you all!!
