i replaced the oem head unit from my car n forgot to take the cd's out of the oem 6disc changer, i need to power the headunit to power the changer to get them out
]

How can i power the headunit outside of the car?

I searched and nothing came up.

 

I'm sure if you power the +12 and supply a ground it should be enough to eject the cds.

 

The best and probably the easiest way would be to hook it back up in the car. You could also get yourself a plug that goes into the radio, and hook up the constant and accesory wires to +12v and ground the ground. But that would most likely be more work (finding the plug) and more expensive (paying for it).

 

wat and wheres the +12, sorry i dont know much about electronics

 

The red post on your battery. AKA the positive on your battery. should work just fine. Unless you have and extra wire harness (the thing that plugs into the radio) it will be easiest to plug it back into your car, and eject them.

 

wat should i plug that too n how

 

could i open up the headunit n power somewhere in there

 

Ok, here goes. Get the cd player in question and look at the back of it. There is a 16 pin connector in the middle, you had to unhook it to remove the unit from your dash. On it are two rows of pins, one on top, the other on the bottom. The top has 8 pins in a 4-4 configuration, the bottom also has 8 pins in a 3-2-3 config. Imagine the top set of pins are numbered 1 through 8 numerically. Hook the 5th pin to the positive side of your battery. The ground (negative post on battery) will be hooked to a pin on the bottom row, on number 14. Imagine the bottom row is labeled 9 to 16 numerically.

A. I found all of this info in the Service Manual, so it's correct.

B. I hope you have your 5 digit security code to input when the unit is powered up. If not, you have to go to the dealer to get it.

:EDIT: Here's an illustration for ya:

Yes, you need the ground to complete the circuit.

I thought it would... So nothing came up on the display? It should have said "CODE".
