cd stuck in the radio

[89crown]

On my 2004 pontiac vibe the cd player has a cd stuck in it can anyone help me figure out how to get it out. Thanks

The only thing I could think of is resetting the unit. Is there a 'pinhole' on the front of it that you could reset it with the tip of an ink pen???

Is it a single DIN slot radio, or one that is built into the dash?

Usually you need to remove the stereo and open it up to get the disc out.
If the mechanism is just stuck, I have seen a bit of wired used to hook he disc and help it along, but there is a high chance you will ruin the disc, do more damage to the radio, and even give yourself a small shock.

Made me laugh...the part about getting shocked, 'cause it happened to me' one time. But yeah, 'helping' the cd come out with a small piece of wire did the trick for me.
