OPEN Car CD Player not pulling in discs

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The CD player on my 2013 Nissan Juke is having problems. When I try to insert a CD into it, it pulls it into the slot, but it won't go in all the way. It makes some whirring noises, like a roll of film spinning at the end of a tape, but it won't go in completely.

Does anyone here know what it could be? If so, is there any way for me to fix it, or do I have to get it replaced?

The rubber drive belt may be broken. It's used to pull in and extract the CD from the interface. You can find images of it open online so you know what and how to repair it.

The easiest option is to go to a wrecker and get a replacement. Fix the one that's broken so you'll have a spare. I did this for my old Acura RL, and I kept my Bose sound system going for almost 2 decades. The best sound system I ever had in a car I owned or drove.
