From memory I believe the rewritable CD's are slightly thicker, these are the type that can be burnt a number of times, but only on a compatible CD writer - I think HP were in to it

If the CD appears jammed or will not eject, turn off the radio, turn the ignition key switch to OFF, pull the vehicle maxi-fuse, and wait five minutes before replacing the fuse. Try ejecting the CD again once power has been restored.
I have an 06 SG and did the update. I read if it gets stuck to pull the maxi-fuse. I always have bad luck and since they put that in there I knew I would have to do it. CD would not come out and I did the fuse thing and waalaaaa it came out.

good luck

There is a newer ST10 update that comes with the new headsets. It is a VOX update. ST10v8.21.0 is latest. TM320v8.19 is still the latest for audio though. The 8.21 VOX update is not on the HK site as of yet, a CD came with my headset.

pull the fairing, radio and open it up... not that big of a deal. release the carrage and it should come out... you may have to manually turn the eject motor

Early on the updates made a real difference. One of the first ones gave a very noticeable increase in volume.

8.19 came out in March of 2007 so if your bike is newer than that you're wasting your time.
