Anybody got a dead CD player?

[b3lha]

We have a problem with our CD changer.

There is an oddly shaped plastic cog, part of the loading mechanism, which has broken. I assume it became brittle in the recent cold weather. Now the changer cannot pull the CD's out of the magazine.

I doubt that the part will be available from Subaru or Panasonic, so I was wondering if anyone had a dead changer that I could dismantle.

It's a JDM changer, but I think it is only cosmetically different from the UK one (and possibly the US/Euro ones?).

Failing that, does anybody know if it is possible to connect different changer (perhaps a newer panasonic one) to the factory head unit?
