Hello,

When you try to eject the CD does it make clicking noise?
There is a little 'gear' assembly inside of the CD player that tends to break or come lose. When that happens the CD will not eject.
This was a very common issue with these CD players and many of these Nissan has the same issue.
In order to fix this you will have to take apart the CD player and access that gear, if its loose then secure it with epoxy to the base. If its not attachable then you will have to replace the CD player.
Taking out the CD player is fairly staring forward. Simply take off six screws that holding the CD player in place. Pry gently and it will come out.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
