Does the CD changer have a fuse of it's own?

It's powered via the link cable from either the Power amp if you have the premium sound, otherwise from the head unit. No separate external fuse, so could either be bad link connection or the unit itself. Can you eject the cassette or is it totally dead?

Should I check all the cable connections as best I can before I reboot the system? Is that the next logical thing to do?

Apologies, I read the wiring diagram incorrectly: the CD is linked to the power amp on the premium system whether you have Nav. or not. I've corrected my previous post.
A hard reset is the easiest first try. After that, I'd check the link cable in case it's wriggled loose. It's probably tucked behind the units and you've got quite a bit going on in your trunk with the Nav. system.
Let us know if it's still not playing ball. In the meantime I'll look for the connections on the link cable as JTIS doesn't give the pinout, but I'm sure someone has posted it here.
Good luck!

Here's the pinout for the Alpine system link cable in case you need to check for power. 12v across pins 7 & 8.
I can't offer much other guidance as I have the HK system which is different, although it's likely the unit itself as JBzXJ40 notes.
It may be fused internally if you want to dig deeper.

Interesting, mine just quit this week. 73,000 miles, as above, AM/FM cassette (!!) all work fine, switching to CD gives an error message. What might be different, when I go to eject the carrier, I think I can hear some clicks like it is trying, but will not perform the ejection. I am going to poke around it today and of course check back here.
