A-I’m afraid to push harder on the CD to get it into the player it doesn’t just take it in like on other systems. The system says all 6 slots are empty. Every so often I hear noise from Inside the player as if it were like a clock you wined up. Any easy/cheap fix without replacing the unit? B- I plugged in cell phone charges into cigarette lighter (happened on both front and rear lighters)when I tried to pull out the charger - the enter thing pulled out to expose the connection wires - now neither lighter plug works to charge my phones. I’m afraid of causing a short circuit in the electrical system . Any suggestions. ---

sounds like a gear is worn out in the CD player. check the fuse for the cigarette lighter. you might have blown it. ---

The 6 CD changer does make a bit of noice when moving from slot to slot. You should **not** have to push the CD in. Just slide it into the slot, the CD should then be pulled into the slot. This **might** be repairable, but few shops work on such systems. Most likely a new unit will be required.
