How to Eject a Stuck CD from Car Radio When Manual Eject Fails?

Jolqa 117191 16
Best answers

How can I get a stuck CD out of a car radio when the normal eject button and manual instructions do not work?

Yes—often you can free a stuck CD by fully power-cycling the radio: disconnect its power or briefly disconnect the car battery’s minus terminal, wait about half a minute to a minute, then reconnect it; many radios eject the disc on restart [#1792675][#1797626][#1793306] One reply suggests a safer alternative on some cars is pulling the appropriate fuse instead of disconnecting the battery, to avoid upsetting the onboard electronics [#1797643] The original poster later confirmed that after disconnecting and reconnecting the power, the disc came out and the radio worked normally again [#1814251] If that does not work, the thread advises taking the unit to service because there may be a mechanical fault rather than a simple stuck disc [#1796174][#1793306]

    I am reviewing issues, but forgive me over 300 pages is beyond me for today. I would like to know one little thing. Is it possible to take the cd out of the car radio somehow. The CD is playing, the raio is all working, the only thing that won't stick out. And after reading the manual and following its advice, nothing came out. I do not want to have the radio repaired if it is only this CD's fault, hence the question.

    if the radio is not under warranty, it is probably the best and the fastest, after disconnecting it, it starts up ...

    Hello
    How about giving the model / type?
    Probably after dismantling it can be done.


    And how did I know it was Young Lady - sorry :P

    And by the way, as a Lady, take a look at this whole topic:

    Well, it will be difficult for a Woman to do it.
    At the beginning, I suggest removing the plates from the housing, connecting to a 12V power supply at least 5A (and here's another problem - how and where to connect it) and check the CD reaction to the command to remove the CD, but it will probably be too difficult for a woman.
    Maybe a gear, a belt (I don't know this model).
    Summing up, I advise repair on the site.

    :arrow: Jolqa don't give up so soon, maybe others know this model, maybe they have it on their workbench, wait a day or two.
    There are a lot of great professionals here.

    Oh, and I didn't want that so much. It will be difficult to do this too :) In any case, thank you for your willingness to help :) I can do without a radio for some.

    as they said, disconnect the entire radio from the power supply and can reconnect it and maybe eject the unfortunate plate. Good luck Lady

    After disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply, a lot of receivers eject the disc - sometimes you have to have reflexes,
    to catch her before he swallows her again.
    I'm just afraid that this is not a problem with this particular album - if there was a curve or cracked, it would not sound.
    You may not do without a visit to the site.
    Only once did I come across a strange CD, some demonstration "not for sale", which was thicker than a typical
    and got stuck "in the corners of the mouth" of the player.
    It spat out and swallowed again.
    The nail file helped.

    Hello!


    It is probably not a "whim" of the CD or CD player, and something has been damaged. Service is the best option. If you have no idea about the repair of electronic equipment, rummaging around in it will most often multiply the repair costs. There are no simple recipes.


    Greetings!

    The easiest way to hard reset is by disconnecting the clamp on the battery. You have to remember that we always disconnect the "minus" first. And then we connect "minus" again. We do not move "Plus" at all, because we only need a power cut (half a minute, a minute is enough).
    If it does not help, then only a screwdriver or a visit to the site remains.
    PS. you can also clean the contacts of the removable panel with the radio, preferably with a cotton swab with alcohol (I do not know if the model has a panel or is it not permanently installed?).

    I don't think that's the best idea.
    We do not know what kind of car it is and the on-board computers do not like the lack of power.
    Probably it will be easier (and safer) to remove the appropriate fuse for a while.

    greetings

    ps
    Maybe it's also not a good idea, but what if any of the colleagues living nearby helped?

    This is an Audi A3, but I will not do anything about it myself, as you can see, so it will go to the service today.
    Thank you for your willingness to help.

    It did not go to the site, but I have already managed it :) After disconnecting and reconnecting, the plate came out. Anyway, thank you for your willingness and help.
    Now the radio works as before :)
