Repair COMAND APS NTG 2.5 DVD Changer 

I had a different failure: a white plastic slider in the actuation of the laser arm was broken. A shop named "opuradio" offers a spare part named "Alpine 6 DVD changer mech gear - DZ63G16B", which fitted perfectly. I splitted the unit in halfs as you show it in the video. But its a bit tricky to properly put the 2 parts back together. I stowed the laser arm in the retracted position, then you have to make sure 2 things: 1) there is a small pin at the pivoting point at the laser arm which goes into a spacial hole inside a metal slider in the other housing half. The slider has to be held in a certain position in order that the pin hits the hole. 2) there is a gear at one corner which fits a toothed bar in the other housing half. Both parts have to be at the same end of their movement range.

thank you for sharing the video .. what great engineering skills you have. I was wondering is there any way to get the spare parts to replace the broken ones? Thanks

Very good video. Thank you.

Perfekt!

Hello, thank you very much for your video. I have exactly the same problem. 1 of the 3 small arms that hold the first metal plate to the rotating shaft has broken. I haven't been able to get replacement parts. Could you sell a washer? Thank you so much

Hello mate, fantastic video. Very helpful. I've opened the unit and found a spring and lever but I don't know where they go. Can you help? Thanks

Mein 6 fach cd laufwerk nimmt keine cds mehr an und brummt nach motorstart ein paar minuten vor sich hin. Die reparaturkosten ist es mir nicht wert, aber das brummen nervt. Würde es gerne stilllegen. Läuft das comand auch mit ausgebautem cd laufwerk?

Hey vicos, habe die CDs jetzt raus, leider geht immer noch nichts. Ich denke ich habe die letzte Position nicht gemerkt. Aber such unmöglich, da in einem slot 2 CDs verklemmt waren. Was kann ich noch tun? Könntest du es reparieren?

Hi great video. I have moisture get into my w211 Harman kardon headunit screen. How can I replace just the screen? Or would I need to replace the whole unit?

Can you share the 3d print file? And how has it held up since your repair...

Cant get the last 3 CDs out
