To be honest, don't bother with the replacement. Speaking from experience - The CD drive is one of the worst when it comes to reliability. I got the drive replaced in the warranty period (6 months after purchasing brand new). The replacement drive croaked as well in about another 6 months from the time of replacement.

You are better off using it as an AUX source.
