Question
I have a big problem.  My Cd player in the 2006 VW Jetta with internal CD changer stopped working because at least one CD is stuck.  Why?, because it is one I burned and has a stick on label.  I did not know until too late that you can't but such label CD's in this changer.  Now the changer does not operate at all, except for displaying a CDR Hardware Problem. At first I thought I could get dealer repair, but they will not warranty repair for this problem, since I caused it, and mimimum coast was $500.  I decided to remove the CD changer myself, which was not a big problem (other than making a few dashboard gouges).  I have been looking at this changer for days and cannot figure out how to get it working or removing the CD's without a total dissembly of the unit (which I am not experienced in performing).  Is there any way I can fix this myself?  Is there any repair manual available? or, if I cannot repair it myself, can I just bring the changer itself to a repair center?  I really would like to fix this myself, due to the expense. Any questions, please email me.

Answer
the car is under warranty if you go back to the dealer they will exchange it but don't mention the paper sticker label  and i didn't tell you this lol :)

a little piece of paper or label  creates a big damage in a indash cd changer most of us techs can not fix it
we just change the inside cd changer the paper bends the metal plates inside and there is no way to calibrate the unit again

sorry i can not help you more
