Default How to eject a CD that is stuck?

In our 94 vette the CD gets stuck in the Bose CD player. The dealer ejected it, does anyone know how they did it.

When mine is cold, until the car (dash) warms up, it won't play CD's. It also won't eject them at times. Sometimes you can hold the eject button until it comes out, and grab it, or turn the radio off and press eject, and it should come out. Good luck.

If I'm not mistaken, all CDs have emergency disc eject capabilities. Look for a small hole on the face. You should be able to push a paperclip in.

I believe nitronick is right. At least this is so with computer cd/dvd drives of all sorts. It should look like a very small pinhole. Feed a straightened paper clip through until you feel resistance. This is a small plastic gear. So be careful! But you can push it, and it may even feel like turning the gear to the left away from you. The drawer will slowly come out this way.

If the cd drive is broken, it may only be a rubber band type thing that goes around that gear and around the motor (I believe) and thus the door is allowed open and closed. So you might be able to repair it if it is permanantly broken not just stuck.

Try pressing and holding the Eject button while turning the Bose on.
