Its on the right side of your spare wheel compartment. take the boot lining out and you'll see a silver or black flap cant mem. open it and the CD will eject. I cleaned my CD it was filthy, prob hadn't seen the light of day for 13 years

On another note i really like the navi in the IS and ive used tom tom, co pilot and garmin. Only bad thing is getting it setup but once your away its very clear and precise i think, i just need to get a update CD and it will be even better

Well hope its just a dirty CD anway, keep us posted

The cd unit is located under boot carpet to the right of spare wheel. Probably just needs disc cleaning.

Thanx ian! will take a look soon as i get 5 , hope its nothing serious or guess ill be looking for new unit ....

Yeah ours is CD rom based. changed around 2001 i believe along with a few interior updates. I would like to have the bigger screen DVD one so its easier to update and also so i get a cup holder at the front lol but this is fine.

Could well be a mucky disc. Hit the eject button and it will be delivered. Hope you don't find out at this point it's a poorly produced eBay copy!!

Ok so removed cd gave it a good clean then put it bk in with my fingers crossed but unfortunately it still saying please open door, please check cd rom ......

Seriously annoying as dont understand how can work fine yesterday and suddenly not work today! Just weird! Well not sure what to do now to be honest , do i need to look for a new cd rom unit ? Guessing that wont be cheap :(

[BigBeau1231]

Thanx for help guys , have ejected and given cd a good clean popped it back in and still says the same thing , so annoying, really not sure what to do now ! Worked fine up untill now so just dont understand, guess i need a new unit but cant find one anywhere at the moment :(

Have you checked all the leads that are plugged into the CD Rom player in the boot?

Does the stereo play music cd's ok?

Wouldn't necessarily go rushing into finding another head unit. That may not solve your issue.

These units are model number sensitive. Boils down to having an external amp behind your glove box. So check things like model numbers first.
