Remove Stuck CD

[slip310]

I have a 2004 Chevy Malibu Maxx with a single in-dash CD player. Anyone know how to eject a stuck CD? Its a CD that I recorded myself with no label on it to get stuck. WHen I hit the eject button it says there is no CD in there, but there is. And it doesn't play either. It was playing fine until I hit the mute button, then I played the radio, and tried to go back to the CD...but now it won't play. Short of going back to the dealer, any suggestions. thanks, Rob Mahoney

I am a 2005 Chevy Malibu owner and I just had this happen to me. I can't get the CD to play or get it out. Has this happened more than once to you? Just wondering because i'm going to try to get it out on my own but if it happens more then once then I am going to go to the dealer and have them deal with it. Please email with reply....my email is [email protected]. Thank you. -Nado11

I am a 2005 Malibu Maxx owner. This just happened to me. Did you ever get the CD out or did you have to take it to the dealer, and did it happen more than once. By the way, my CD is a burnt Cd with now label also. Thanks, my email is [email protected]. -Nado11

I have also had this problem. I took it into the dealership to have it removed; under warranty of course - I mean, why should I damage my CD to get it out? They told me I should only use CDs that are to 'spec'. They could not tell me if they meant Red Book (pressed CD) or Orange Book (burned CD) they just said 'spec' (whatever that means).

The CD I had trouble with was CDRW and I had it in the player for almost a week (switching between radio and CD) before the problem occured. I have not had issue with the CDRs though I do use mainly good quality CDRs. Some of the cheaper CDRs tend to skip on me though. I have not tried a CDRW since.

Huh, the CD that I have stuck in there is a CDR...but not a CDRW. It played fine except on some tracks it took forever to finally load and some tracks it wouldn't even play. I have already contacted my dealer and they are going to take care of it under warranty of course. I just hope this isn't a continuing process....if so I think they should replace the CD player with an upgrade of some sort. But, i'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it. -Nado11
