2 weeks ago i bought a 1996 BMW 316 coupe which has a Kenwood CD
player. When the engine started up the face plate would retract and
you could use the CD. The car has been parked for since it was bough
but today i have noticed that the plate does not retract anymore so
the CD player/tuner cannot be used. I have spoken to the previous
owner and he suggested that this was a security feature and all that
needs to be done was to press one of the corners of the plate very
hard and it would open. I've tried this with no success and was
wondering if there was something else i could try. All the previous
owner can remember is that the player is a Kenwood KDC(something). It
also has what i presume is a small press buttoned remote control.
(Please post responses to the newsgroup, Thanks)

I've resolved the problem. Went to Halfords and discovered that there
is a small sliding button at the bottom of the face plate. Next
problem. Does anyone have the manual for the Kenwood KDC-7070R or can
they point me to an electronic version.
