car stereo cd stuck

[kittylitter7]

I have a clarion car stereo with a removable front panel. The said front panel has been lost and a brand new cd is stuck in the actual machine. Can anyone tell me how I can remove cd without the front panel attached? It is now disconnected from my car as I have had to buy a whole new stereo.

If you can get it powered back up some units have a reset button hidden on them. In some cases this forces an eject.
Otherwise you will have to take it apart piece by piece very carefully to get at the CD.

Put this Q in Motoring section - should be a superior being able to help there . . .

All you need to do is find the little button that the faceplate presses against while it is in the up position and press it. that will make the radio turn on and then just push the eject button. Assuming the eject button is on the main unit and not the faceplate.

sorry i didnt read the whole question. you do need to get power back to it. it may be possible to do this by twisting the red and yellow together and by using a fresh 9 volt battery touch the black to the big side - and the twisted wires to the small side +. if thats not enough you may have to find a 12 volt power source.

there is also , on some units, a small hole you can stick a straightened paperclip into, making the cd eject. You will need 12 volts power though.

Thanks for all your suggestions. Hope I don't get electrocuted in the process!
