Honda has a service bulletin to deal with this but dealers won't bother. Our CD changer shows MECH ERROR and will not eject cd's. After bringing it to two dealers we got the same story, it was MY fault because I use cd's that are burned. Seems that the rollers in the system are not able to deal with the slightly thicker writable cd formats ..... and definitely not re writable which are thicker. If the CD has a paper label on it - DENIED. Does Honda know about iTunes? MP3's are what the world uses quite a bit of....in case they are not aware.....to lay the blame on me for using burned cd's is nothing short of outrageous. Thankfully the system one day spit out my cd's, which were a mix of store bought cd's and burned MP3's on single write cd.s Honda says the warning isin the manual. NEWS TO HONDA. how many people read the manual to operate a CD player? Let me help you. Very few. STick a label on the dashboard for us to know that you designed a bad system. My Toyota and all of my families other cars do not show this issue so how is it NOT your fault. Oh, I forgot to mention that the service bulletin says the following: If the customer answers NOT to the question, "do you use other than store bought CD's?" then replace the unit under warranty. Two things to be learned: all questions like this from a tech are leading questions so BEWARE, and to Honda, do you think we don't find these bulletins and educate ourselves? WOW.

My cd changer is doing the same thing. Have not brought it to the dealer as yet cause i will have to pay for the service. I have 66,000 on it. I read the manual after the prblem started and it says that cd with lables should not be played in it but i dont' have lables on the one i burned. This is BS big time
