I just installed a Pioneer AVX-201 in my 2004 Lariat SuperCrew and am very happy with how it went and using the new features. Put in some JBL speakers too and sound is great. The problem is I forgot to remove a CD from the factory unit and need advice on how to get it out. Can someone help tell me which pin in the factory harness supplies 12 volt power? I believe I can rig a jumper and ground to a trolling motor battery I have just enough to power the factory unit on and hit eject. Is there another way besides unhooking new unit and reinstalling factory one?

 

Haha, I feel your pain! I did the same thing when I put the naughty Kenwood in my dash! I ended up plugging up the old unit again to truck wiring and ejecting it.

 

It might be easiest to replace the CD.

 

I've been guilty of this too! I know it's a pain, but like MotoMike said, plug up the old unit, hit the eject button, reassemble.

 

Thanks for replies. Yes will be best to take 30 mins and put old unit in to eject the cd.

 

The old unit don’t come apart ?

 

It’s a 6 disk changer and I assume any disks in there are in a motorized stacker

 

I might be too late but here's your pin out. You can just connect 12v (Pin#2) and ground (Pin#13) then hit eject. I have had to do this before using an old car battery.

 

You are the man Badfish. Yes this is what I will do with some jumper wires
