Error 3?
This Just happened on the way to work this morning 
My 6 disc changer will not eject ANY of my discs....it wont shuffle, it just flashes "error3"
does anyone have a solution for this? It seems like everything is failing on my car! (i blame the stupid cold weather here!)

So, after many months of having Error3 and considering myself screwed... I fixed it and now its been about three weeks with no problems.
First, see if you can see any rim of the CD slightly popping out of the CD player. You can see if there is a CD blocking the CD entry by taking another CD and try pushing it in...
Keep clicking EJECT while shimmying another CD in and out of the entry, this may be able to help get ONE cd out...and if one comes out they they usually can all come out.
If you CAN see a CD blocking it, grab some tweezers and pull it out... I had to do this with THREE CDs....
Try unplugging/plugging back in your fuses for the CD/Radio if you can't get anything to work.
Continue the shimmying of another CD into the entry while constantly pressing eject, try to fit it under or over a cd that may be blocking.
If there is NOTHING blocking, and you have a load spot available. Click load and enter in the CD but do not let it go and pull it back slightly and keep punking it into thinking youre putting the cd in... that helped it recognize a cd that was already in there jamming things up into that spot.
So keep trying those thngs, sorry its insanely disorganized and has no special order or defined instruction...but I was driving somewhere once and decided to do all this while I was driving and I was successful. Annoyed, but successful. I finally got to listen to my new Rick Ross CD. It was the day I put it in there when I just got it, it all went to Error 3. Lemme know if you have any questions.
