That is probably due to a plastic gear that gets loose on a metal motor shaft. Your friend will probably have to remove the unit, take apart the unit, and re-attach the gear to the shaft. I'd try making some grooves in the smooth motor shaft using a Dremel Tool, so that an epoxy will have something to grab on to. It's a lot of work.

One trick you can try is to see if you can push the CD back with a credit card. That may engage the gears enough to start an eject sequence. Getting the CD out solves nothing; it will likely happen again. The head unit is probably shot and it's time to upgrade.

I've gotten a used replacement on eBay. It had the same problem, so be sure there is a return policy. Plus the volume knob wasn't working properly, a common problem. You turn it down and the volume goes up, but the volume button on the steering wheel worked.

The directions I used to repair mine were below (it costs money). It's a pain getting to the gear and then hoping the glue holds. Mine started slipping again, so that's why I suggested cutting grooves in the motor shaft.

When my '02 was only a couple of years old---(I bought new)---I started having ejection problems. I went into 'Car Tunes' to get a replacement and was told it was an easy fix. It was and it's worked just fine ever since.
