'03 Silverado Delco/Bose CD changer help

On the way to Indy this past week, the Delco/Bose CD changer in my '03 Silverado jammed while ejecting a CD. I never could get it to reset. I got home, pulled the CD changer out of the dash, and got all my CD's out. I put it back together correctly. However, even with the CD's removed, and the unit correctly re-assembled, I still get the same "Initializing" message that never ends (I let it try that for an hour tonight), although it does know there are no CD's now.

I've heard that you have to go to a dealer and have them update the software. I tried a couple of "reset" methods, without any result. Is there any way to fix this without a trip to the dealer? I despise taking my track anywhere, they always try to pile on needless "repairs". I'm sure they'll want $200, and for not much more, I can replace it with a Pioneer unit.
