Thanks for the feedback peeps!
Yeah, I realise what I'm doing wrong now.
Like I said, I could quite easily see why they would code the actual head unit part, but not the CD mechanism itself.
I had a go at dismantling the original CD player part but after removing a lot of screws the actual CD transport was still wedged firmly in place under the large PCB.
I'll have another go but if anyone can point me in the right direction on which bits to remove in order to get to the CD mechanism that would be great.
Cheers,
J
