Need to get stuck DVD out. How do I remove the DVD player?

Most DVD players have a tiny hole on the front to mechanically push the internals to eject stuck DVDs. If the player does light up, sometime a thump with your fist is enough to jolt the mechanism. Failing that, you have to remove the player to get the DVD out.

Yep, its pretty easy, lower the screen down, your find 4 phillips screws, unscrew them, them the dvd will separate from the headrest. be careful not to tug on the wires too tight, push the button on the connectors to free them from the circuit board, label the white one goes on the left and red connector goes on the right. now you have the dvd free and can remove the screws on the back to free the cover on the front, the button should be stuck between there. have fun

a cd player in a car takes some hammering(use wise)so when they go wrong replace it(cost of repair more than unit cost....)easy to remove/replace.

In the rear of the player is a small hole to eject the CD. Straighten a paer clip and push it in the hole to eject the CD.

Carefully use a butterknife to remove the discs. I just did this tonight. I stuck the butter knife under the bottom disc and applied pressure, while slightly tilting the jagged part of the knife down. I managed to remove them without scratching the discs.

first check to see if the dvd slipped into the player incorrectly.. my child inserted a dvd into the player. it went onto of the slot.. i took a butter knife to slip the dvd out, of course messed up the dvd but was able to get it out.. if not you can open up the player and get it out not very hard. hope this helps good luck

There Should be a TINY Hole in the Front of the Player that you Can use a Large Paper Clip to Poke Into the Hole and MANUALY Remove the DVD

needs a new disc changer. Something is wrong internally. You will be able to get them back if you go to the dealership and get an exchange unit. They will send the discs back when they remanufacture the unit.

Disclaimer: I am not a professional. This is an account of what I did to replace my DVD changer. If I had been offered the $450 installed option, I would have taken it.

According to the boys at Car Toys and the dealer, once these DVD changers go, they have to be replaced. The dealer quoted me $705, but I found one on E-bay from a highly rated seller for $400. I was able to pull out the DVD changer by popping off the trim betwee the DVD player and the cup holder, and then removing two screws. Note that it may help to remove the cup holder.

Once those two screws at the bottom are removed, it just takes a firm tug on console shell below the DVD player for the whole face of the console to come off. Disconnecting the airbag indicator connector will allow the console face to be pulled far enough away to get at the DVD changer. All connectors have a tab you need to press while pulling.

Two more screws need to be removed to get the DVD changer out. With those screws removed, another firm tug and wiggle will release the DVD changer. You'll probably hear a metal popping sound, which is just the rear grounding tab (I think that's what it is) pulling free from the cage.

Once you can reach the two wiring harnesses behind the DVD changer, pull on the wire bundle to give yourself some slack to work with, while not stressing the cable assemblies too much. Disconect the two connectors at the back of the DVD changer. At that point the DVD changer can be removed, and you can search on E-bay for the part number. My unit had a complete wiring diagram for the two connectors on the sticker, but I couldn't find anyone with the right connectors to install an aftermarket system.

I haven't received the new part yet, so I'm a little nervous about the correct order of connector installation. I'll probably pull the battery terminals while installing the new unit, but here is where you are on your own. Good luck.
