Toyota dashboard CD player won't eject

I had a cd jammed in my 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix and when I took it out I couldn't get the cd player to insert or eject the cd. I took a chance and turned off the car and removed the fuse for the radio and put it back in. Once I put it back in the cd player worked just fine!

With the key in the ACC position (so the stereo is on, but the engine isn't), press eject and listen to see if you can hear gears whirring. If so, it's trying but isn't progressing the disc. Use a pairof forceps to gently grab the edge of the disc and pull while it tries to eject. If it DOESN'T whir, let me know and we'll go from there.

I had this say problem with my 2000 solara. Here is the fix, remove one of the car battery terminals for a couple of mins (3-4mins). The reattach the battery terminal back. This would make your cd player and car clock reset. once you start your car you should be able to eject the cds. You'll just need to reprogram all your preset radio station. Hope it helps

Otherwise, if you don't have some needle-nose pliers or tweezers, try using something else that's thin, with a handle, like a butter knife or a putty knife, and wrap a thin layer of tape around it (making sure that the sticky side is UP, and the tape is secure so that it won't slide off at all; also, it should be a rather strong adhesive) then stick it inside of the player and push down and pull out; hopefully your CD will come with it! - This method worked for me, (I have a 2002 Pontiac Grand AM) however, now my CD player won't "****" in any other CD's and I don't know how to fix it :( Any suggestions?

before you spend $$ to have someone do anything, take the radio out of the dash yourself. what;s the worst thing that can happen, you break the radio that doesn;t work?

take the top of the radio apart and move the cd around... it's jammed and needed help to set up in the player.

put it back in the dash and push play. it should work. i just fixed mine and i am happier than paris hilton in a sausage factory.

cds stuck in car stereo- error message pops up, advice? I have a 2003 Toyota Tundra with a 6 disk CD player, factory stereo. I have all 6 cds in and "ERROR" now appears on the screen, the cds won't play, and will not eject. I have had this problem for 2 days and have not been able to get them to do anything. I don't see a pin hole anywhere to "eject" the disks. Any ideas? Is my stereo broken?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker This indicates a malfunction of the disc changer functions.
A: Press the reset button on both the changer and the remote. The reset button on the changer is located on the front panel of the unit, It can beactivated with the tip of a pin.
B: If the unit does not operate after resetting it, remove the magazine by inserting a business card between the magazine and the mechanism. The lock lever will disengage to allow the magazine to eject.
C: Make sure all cds are in the magazine, a CD is found lodged in the carriage, remove all cds from the magazine and reinsert the magazine into the changer.
D: Press the eject button. This should cause the loged CD to move from the carriage into the empty magazine. The magazine should automatically eject and normal operation will return. I Found this on another site as I have the same problem too. 2003 Tundra. I will try the disconnecting the battery first.

I've purchased a Toyota Camry 2003 with in-Dash CD changer, the first CD I loaded and played for a minute got stuck.
The problem was solved and the CD was ejected after I used a small tweezer in the CD opening the I pressed Eject button and luckily the CD went out!
Now I wonder whether I can play another CD and face the same problem again or just leave it like that !
