How to remove a stuck CD?
How can i get a cd out from the player, stuck in & all efforts have failed so far
Our answer:
Hi Aisling,
There is usually a manual release, but this is also usually only accessible when the head unit is removed from the dashboard. Best to ask a good mechanic to help with that as it won't take them long at all.
