Default CASSETTE stuck in stereo

I recently got XM and installed it in my truck and the Z using the cassette adapter, everything works great!

Just installed a car kit in the Ruby today, everything worked fine sitting in the driveway. First time I stop and then restarted the cassette adapter seems to be jammed in. It won't engage fully to play and won't fully eject. I messed with it to try and get it out with no luck.

*Should I take the stereo out of the car and then apart to get the cassette out?

*Should I just buy a modulator and forget about the cassette?

*Anyother suggestions?

Try using a small screwdriver to push it all the way in... then try to eject it.

the same screwdriver might also help you eject it. I cannot imagine why this would happen...

hows the arm? give the mrs a hug for me!

I would take the stereo out. That's what I did with an older Buick radio where the cassettes would always get stuck.
