Default CD won't eject

I pressed the eject button one day when I wanted to listen to the radio. Let the CD player retain the CD. It has not been able to eject that CD since. Any tricks of the trade?

Been there, done that. Disconnect the positive post on your battery, then wait a few, connect back up and it should eject. It did on mine.

Hope this helps.

I have had this happen to me. If you can slide a strip of stiff paper in on top of the cd it will sometimes break the connection and the cd will slide out. I don't know why this works ... had someone show it to me once and it worked.

Easiest way is pull the fuse for the radio and put it back in. All will be fine again.

When the CD won't eject with the radio on, I turn off the radio and hold down the eject button. That usually works for me.
