Headunit Help, Mine Broke

[BoostdR32]

I have a Pioneer headunit - DEH-P9650MP. It has the dual faces, one that flips down to reveal the other.

For some reason it has stopped opening to reveal the 2nd face when I press the OPEN button. It also means that it wont eject the CD I have in there because to eject it also needs to open both screens. I stupidly hit the reset button to try and fix it, and it caused me to loose the subs because the controls for the subs are on the 2nd face which I cannot access.

Worst case I am going to just go out and buy another headunit, but I would like to at least get my CD out. Does anyone know if this model headunit has a "CD eject" button behind the faceplate etc like some have?

Also in regards to getting another headunit, I need to buy another Pioneer headunit because I have one of those Pioneer ipod control boxes for it. What sort of headunit feature do I need to make sure I get so that it will be compatible? There is one in the WOW catalogue atm that says it has Direct Ipod Control, which I am thinking is what I need to be able to control the iPod through the headunit, is this correct?

Any help for both of the above problems is much appreciated.

ribbon in the face is broke.common problem with them - $150 or so to fix it.

point me to the WOW one (via the pioneer site.) and I'll tell you if the box you have works with it. if it has IB in the model then it has the ipod lead in the box already and should be an in/out job with no changes to wiring.
