OEM Dash CD Player Stopped

[1st_xmazda5]

I am guessing that my OEM CD player has finally given up the ghost. When I first bought the car 2 months ago, older compact discs would work, and new CDs would not play. The player would not spit out the disc it would just keep spinning inside the player with nothing playing. Yesterday, I had a disc in the player that was working and when I went out to the car the disc was sticking out of the player. I tried to push the disc back in but it would not take it in. I did not want to keep pushing it all the way in because I did not want to lose the disc inside. Thoughts?

Sorry for the useless response but saw an opportunity to publicly lament the loss of CD players in modern cars. No interested in downloading for the work around. Would prefer to just complain about it. Thank goodness for sat radio and the Bose stereo.

If your Mazda5 has a USB port just copy the CD's to a thumb drive and be done with the CD player.

I wonder if there are places that could service it, maybe clean dust out of sensors, a little lube on the rails. I had a belt replaced in a CD player and it was only $25.

It does, but I won't. :-O
