Alright, brother. I listened to the same CD for ten years, but not anymore. Your method worked like a dream, except I used the access card to a parking garage with the tape. Beautiful. Thanks, Cory.
I had made an appointment with the car dealership and they were going to charge me $200+ saw this video and had to try it. I used a flat spatula and masking tape, the CD came out on the first try took me less then a minute to do! Thank God because it was my bosses CD that he let me borrow to listen to lectures!
Like someone else said - It takes longer to find the stick/putty knife and packing tape than it did to actually get it out using your trick - it worked on the first try. Thanks so much for taking the time to post this video!
My son had managed to jam a second CD in and neither disc would eject (although somehow the first would still play). Having read this post I tried inserting a thin kitchen spatula (fish slice?) into the slot, then with the spatula still there also slid in a butter knife with sticky tape wrapped around the blade. I first tried with the knife on top of the fish slice, wiggled it whilst pressing eject, no luck. Then tried the same but with the knife underneath the fish slice - success! The second disc came out attached to the knife and I could then eject the first. Son very relieved, I am delighted too. Thank you!
Cory, thank you.Got the CD out from my wife's Honda Pilot. Worked like a charm. This was after the car audio and mechanic places both said they needed to tear the entire radio out of the dashboard. Thanks again.
Today I went to my dealer asking to get the CD stuck in my car's stereo. He told me it cannot be done. Then at home I tried your method using a flat, long piece of metal covered wit masking tape. It worked after a few attempts. Big Thank You!
Great advice! I used an old DVD with the double sided sticky tape pressing "eject" and applying down pressure. After some "doing" and a few pieces of tape I managed to extract all six CDs. However, the changer was 18 years old and on borrowed time anyway and the surgery essentially gutted the unit. Two of the CDs had a good deal of sticky residual on them after the procedure. I used some "GooGone", a soft tissue and then a micro fiber eye glass cloth and gently managed to remove the residue. Now, they play like new on my computer. Thanks again!
Yes, I just watched your video, went out to my car, tried it and, after about 3x, it worked. Thank you so much! I've been so bummed having that CD stuck for about a month because one of my favorite things is to drive and listen to music....er, BLAST it! :D You just made my life better, Cory. Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness!!! It worked!!! This was absolutely fantastic. Took less that 10 minutes to get out 2 cds that's been stuck in the CD player since I got the car last year!!!! Thank so much. I never thought of that!!!! Wonderful. I'm subbing just because!! 😍😂
I used a putty knife and it worked just like you said. I pushed down a little and boom! The CD was stuck to the tape and it came right out. Thank you so much for taking the time! Cheers 👍
Thank you SO MUCH!! Your trick worked on the very first try! I spent more time cleaning the tape off the shim than removing the CD! I didn't have any tapered shim, I used a plastic non-tapered shim that worked anyway. I found that the most important thing for me was the right thickness of shim and that very sticky tape you mentioned and making sure I wrapped it on both ends and held on tight with my fingers so it wouldn't accidently remain stuck in the player. Thanks a million!
This just happened to the CD player in our 2012 Sienna, and I too tried numerous tricks I found on Google to no avail. After listening to this, it took me a couple tries and voila, the tape stuck to the CD and pulled it right out. :) Thank you for sharing this trick!!!
YESSSS!! Thank you so much! I haven't been able to use my player for years after my child had stuffed too many CDs in there one day. I just pulled out 3 discs on the first try using a spatula and some less-than-super-sticky tape! Looks like I'm tied with @Braulio for most discs. Player works just fine now loading, playing and ejecting. Pure gold!
Thanks so much. My daughter put a CD in a year and a half ago not knowing that there was already one in there and they have been stuck until today. I used a thin narrow spatula with the tape and pulled both of them out!
Thank you! Just tried this with a putty knife and packing tape, and I had the cd out in 15 seconds. That cd had been stuck in there for a year. Tried everything to get it out, even removing the fuse to the stereo to try to reset it. This trick tells me that a stuck cd is not a computer issue, but a matter of the cd getting bumped slightly out of place, and the only way to fix it is to remove the cd as you describe. Saw your video in the nick of time; I was just about to tear the dash apart, and then the cd player. Saved me a lot of work!
Very grateful to you. One of my favourite CDs was stuck for 10 days until I liberated it in a few seconds with your technique. I used a credit card and a strip of electrical tape.
ive had a cd stuck in my Volvo for about three yrs same thing happened in my last volvo i had fo 12 years. i hate car notes with a passion but love driving and music and teaching cds. im so excited getting ready to go out in the rain and try it now THANKS FOR CARING AND SHARING!! MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU TODAY AND ALWAYS!!!
Thank you! I just passed the 6th anniversary of buying my car. I stuck a CD in when I drove it off the lot. It never played, it never ejected. 6 years later, I just tried this using a credit card and I have my CD back (plus a CD that was in there that must've belonged to the previous owners) and am listening to CDs in this car for the first time.
THANK YOU!!!! My 3 year old daughter had stuck not 1, not 2, but 3 dvds at the same time into our 2009 Honda Pilot's DVD player. needless to say, they got stuck and wouldn't eject. I tried this trick with a piece of cardboard cut from a cereal box and the big piece of packing tape. I got all 3 dvds out and now the player seems to be working fine, which is good news for us since the whole reason we paid extra for this car over another one was because of the DVD entertainment system. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!!!!
Thank you for posting this. I JUST bought a new CD yesterday and for some reason it wouldn't eject. Thanks to you I didn't have to remove the whole stereo and disassemble the player. I didn't have a shim, but I had packing tape and a putty knife 👍
Worked on my 6-CD changer!!! I was able to remove the remaining 4 jammed CDs this way (I think the loader was broken). Now our 2006 Honda Odyssey no longer makes that loading sound everytime you unlock the doors. AWESOME!!! THANK YOU!!!
Cory, Thank You SO Much for posting this video! Today, a library audio CD became stuck in my car's stereo. Your video was the second one I watched. I used a putty knife, and on my first try was successful. Thank You, God bless, and Happy New Year to you and yours!
This worked like a charm. Got all 6 CDs out of the player and none of them took more than two tries! I used a plastic putty knife and duct tape. Thanks!
Two thumbs up!!! I was too lazy to look for a shim so I tried a piece of cardboard from a regular moving box. It worked like a charm the first try as well and even found a second Cd's hung up in there as well. Unfortunately the player is no longer working properly so I'll keep my eyes open for your next video showing how to get it to load and unload without the use of an object covered in sticky tape. :)
Fabulous! I used a metal spatula and scotch tape. I inserted taped spatula, turned on the CD, hit eject and recovered my two stuck CD's on the first try. Thank you so much!!!
Just thought I'd let you know this worked. and was so easy. Thank you for posting this info. I had to take my CD back to the library today and didn't know what else to do. Yours was the 1st video I watched. I used a shim and scotch tape. Thank you again. You are awesome for taking the time to make this video Pam
Fantastic. It worked first time, just like you recommended. I used a shim and a long piece of packing tape and stuck it in the CD slot, lifted up firmly on the shim back end to stick it well to the CD and then pried it up and out and it came out with the CD just fine. Then another CD came out when I pressed the CD eject button. The wife had 2 CDs in there at once. After I had them out, I tried putting one in and everything worked great. Wonderful video. Clear directions and thanks a lot.
Your method works perfectly. My Van Halen CD got stuck and I was able to retrieve it using double sided tape and a plastic card. I got the CD out at the first attempt.
I want to thank you so much,after watching this video I decided to give it a try ,I used a pallet knife might be dangerous, but I wanted that cd out. Put some tape as suggested, I could not believe my eyes!! Thank you so much for sharing your video, still can't believe I got it out. Had to tell everyone! !!! Thanks again for sharing
Thanks, there were 2 CDs stuck in my wife's mini cooper and she has been giving me so much hassle about getting it to a garage to sort it out. I've just watched your video and got them out using packing tape and a broad knife at the first attempt!
I just tried this trick. I had 2 cd's stuck inside of a single car CD stereo. I used a 12 inch metal ruler and wrapped the packing tape around one end extending about 6 inches, holding on to the ends while inserting the ruler into the CD player. Then I hit eject. It gripped to the top CD and I pulled it out. The 2nd one also needed help. It would not come out on it's own. I got it to come out also. I tried putting another CD into the player and it played. I inserted and ejected it a few times just to be sure it would work and everything seems fine now. Thanks so much for the great idea of shipping tape. I thought I was gonna have to get someone to remove the CD player to get them out.
I used this trick on my Honda pilot to remove 2 stuck DVDs... I did not use tape. I only had a thick card paper. Infolded it twice and put it in as instructed just to try. To my amazement after it stopped making the grinding sounds the dvds came out a little bit... I pushed the paper again the second time and this time they came out enough for me to pull them out WOW!!. Thank yoy so much!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been trying for ages to get 4 cds out of my Trailblazer deck and this finally worked!! I used a rubber spatula and duct tape. Just in time too, I'm selling the car tomorrow. :)
I'm a Beekeeper so I used a hive tool with tape like you mentioned worked second try no problem. Thank you so much for your help. I never would have thought of something like this. I believe painters use hive tools too but call them by another name maybe a scraper or something like that. I've seen them for sale in our hardware store.
WISE WORD TO VIEWERS... do NOT use anything metal. Do NOT stick anything 'metal' (that conducts electricity) in your 'ELECTRONIC' radio!!!! wood shims and plastic/rubber pieces work great though. like he said, plastic putty knife woulda worked good too. oh, and thanks for sharing this video, good everyday knowledge to help small annoyances like this common problem lol.
Just finished a construction project and for the first time in my adult life I was out of shims. Tried my putty knife and it worked. I think the shim would be even better. Thanks for posting.
Thank you Cory! You are a life saver. I had not 1 but 2 CDs stuck in my car player (don't ask how) and nothing I could do worked to get them out--except your tape trick. Worked on the first try!
Outstanding. I'd already thought of using a shim...and I had a few in my garage. The packing tape was the missing link. Worked in 2 seconds. Thank you.
oh man,, I had a cd stuck in my $1000 in dash dvd player in my trans am for 3 weeks, and I just got it out with your method first try to, thank you thank you man !!!! Saved me thinking my player was going out ! :)))) Made by Day !!!
Amazing! I just bought a new vehicle and there was not one but two CDs jammed in there. I used your method and first pull I got one. Three seconds is later I hear a CD spool up and start playing...I then hit eject and boom CD #2 comes out. I now have a CD player. Thank you for sharing.
Although I loved the Lamb cd, I was fed up with it having been stuck in there for a week. I couldn't find a wooden shim, but a thin kitchen metal spatula with the tape worked first time! Many thanks.
Thanks for the info, I used my 2 inch putty knife and electrical tape, my Cd was stuck in my Yukon now when i pick my husband up from work he will be happy that he does not have to try and fix it :) lol it took longer to put the tape on then it did to get the Cd out .
I just tried your suggestion, I just used a bit of plastic with duct tape on the end , I put it in and came out first time, cd works fine, thanks very much mate.
Dude this is an amazing tip. I pulled my CD out on the first try too. My trouble started when I used a can of air to blow out the dust in the player, without realizing there was a disc in there. It's been stuck for a couple months. Thanks very much for sharing this!>
Thanks a lot for the tip man...did this trick to my girl whom had a cd strucked in..and it worked! I won't tell you which reward i've received after!! thanks a lot!
OMG!!!! THANK YOU! This is the only thing that has worked! It worked on the first try too :) I just used an old CD covered in packing tape opposed to the shim. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Thank you! Your idea worked perfectly!!! I used a spatula with the sticky side of the shipping tape on the outside of the spatula and followed your directions. Excellent!
I had a cd stuck in my Mazda for 3 months and could not remove. I put a question on RUclips and saw your video it worked like a charm it took two tries but it worked. I used an old cd in stead of wood thanks.
Joe. Oct. 25, 2016. Simplest method. Wrap one end of a disc with and strong sticky tape. twist the tape so sticky tape is facing up. Hold the tape strongly with your thumb, and the insert into the disc just a bit until you are sure the tape has made contact with the disc inside. push down, and with your other hand push on eject and now pull out. Now the stuck disc comes out . This works . I just did this about ten minutes ago. Good Luck, Keep well , Keep smiling
IT WORKED. THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION. I HAD SOME SHIMS IN MY GARAGE AND DUCK TAPE. MADE MY OWN DOUBLE SIDED TAPE AND FOLLOWED YOUR INSTRUCTIONS AND IT WORKED GREAT. THANKS SO MUCH
Used a putty knife and had to try it 4 times, but it finally worked. Had to press up harder than I thought, guess my tape wasn't as sitcky as yours, but it came out. Good on ya.
Success! There were six CD's stuck in my CD player. I tried the idea above, but using an old credit card. Once the first CD was removed, all the rest came out using the normal CD player eject button. Thanks a lot.
Thanks. I almost had the same idea but I was using duct tape on a 1" plastic putty knife. The duct tape was a bit thick for the job. I switched to packing tape like you used and used a bit of masking tape wrapped around the handle to secure it. It took a couple minutes to get the hang of it, but in under 10 minutes I had all 6 CDs out and undamaged! Thanks for the video.
I watched your video and tried the trick with a thin plastic 6in ruler and duct tape. It worked!!!!! I'm scared to put another CD in to see if it still works. Thank you so much!!!!!
I got the tape and stick ready.. and went to blow out the cd player with a can of ultra duster industrial strength (a high pressure air canister used for cleaning electronics) and when I blew the heck outta the player inside while hitting eject the disc popped right out. maybe the pressure maybe just needed a good blast to clean..? but it worked!!
Just got six cd's out of my factory Holden VE Blaupunkt six stacker radio using this trick. I used a plastic ruler with electrical tape. Worked a treat, thankyou!
I am going to try the putty knife and packing tape thanks for the tip. I have 4 cds stuck in a broken cd player. I like that you made that dt,dt, dt, sound as that is what mine is doing so hopefully this will work.
I used the metal spackle tool with packing tape and got 2 out. Going to put in a new unit. So glad I was able to retrieve the cds before I replaced the unit.
Wow!!! Thanks bunch! I was panicking thinking I was going to have to pay to get that thing out!! Worked for me! I used a butter knife and 2 sided tape! Came right on out!!!👍🏽
It works!!! I used a switchblade with clear packing tape, sticky side up. Stuck it in, pressed blade down a little and hit eject. Popped right out.Wow.My TT and I thank you.
Thanks for tip, had Nirvana live CD-R stuck in reader in 2004 Malibu for about 4 yrs now(tired of Nirvana now).,tried several times before to remove it putty knife etc.with no success, used packing tape wrapped around credit card, put it in applied downward pressure hit eject and it came right out when I pulled.
funny how that worked for you, it didn't for me. I had to use a 2 1/2" putty knife and the CD came right out - after one week of "trying". I'm afraid to put another CD in or I'll just keep my putty knife with me. Talk about jury rigging. ha ha.
Thank you! I just got two CD's out of my Honda Accord. I used a putty knife and duct tape. The first came out right away; it took a few more attempts to get the second one out, but it worked!
Worked!!! Had a DVD stuck in the player and a CD stuck in the CD player! Both out, thank you!! I also used a putty knife with the tape while hitting eject and it worked on my first try for both! 🙌🏻
MUCHAS GRACIAS!!! You are wonderful.Thank you for putting this on RUclips. I used a painters stick with sticky tape. I stuck it in the slot and thought it didn't work but after pulling the stick out I pushed eject and out popped the CD. YEAH!!!
Thank you, .Your trick worked like a charm.I had a plastic door shim and 2 in. Wide packing tape.I taped the packing tape to the shim at the back end instead of just holding it
I just used this technique to get a stuck CD out of an Alpine 7909 in my 1988 Lamborghini Countach. Yes... You helped fix a half million dollar exotic car.
Perfect! I used a putty knife and packing tape. I did the tape lengthwise and a wrap around the handle to make it easier to hold the sticky tape. Great fix!
Hey thanks so much for the video, I thought our CD player in the car had only our Christmas cd but also to my surprise had another one too. So that made my day. Anyway thanks so much for the video and the tip. I used a spatula for my removal
You sir are a legend i just got my first car about a month ago and was trying to figure out how to load multiple CD'S at once and ended up getting one stick in there but with this trick it came out second try phew
Alright, brother. I listened to the same CD for ten years, but not anymore. Your method worked like a dream, except I used the access card to a parking garage with the tape. Beautiful. Thanks, Cory.
Only ten years? What cd was it?
@@ciarraibuzz Im glad I'm not the only one who wants to know what cd it was.
I'm going to assume it was Smashmouth unless he replies.
I had made an appointment with the car dealership and they were going to charge me $200+ saw this video and had to try it. I used a flat spatula and masking tape, the CD came out on the first try took me less then a minute to do! Thank God because it was my bosses CD that he let me borrow to listen to lectures!
this is the most number of grateful comments I have ever seen on a RUclips video. congrats!

Very grateful to you. One of my favourite CDs was stuck for 10 days until I liberated it in a few seconds with your technique. I used a credit card and a strip of electrical tape.
It works!!! I just used shipping tape around a putty knife and I pulled out 5 disks that were stuck in my 4runner's cd changer! Thank you!
This completely worked! Your video saved me $179+, thank you so much for this video.
Cory - thank you a million times over. Tried this with a putty knife and it worked right away. Thanks so much, man!
ive had a cd stuck in my Volvo for about three yrs same thing happened in my last volvo i had fo 12 years. i hate car notes with a passion but love driving and music and teaching cds. im so excited getting ready to go out in the rain and try it now THANKS FOR CARING AND SHARING!!

Just finished a construction project and for the first time in my adult life I was out of shims. Tried my putty knife and it worked. I think the shim would be even better. Thanks for posting.

+A.T. Schlesinger HA i totally did too! i was like "i am glad no one else is with me right now" as two came out of the unit.
Thank you for posting this! It worked like a charm on THREE CDs my 8yo shoved in our car's DVD player! Much appreciated!
Outstanding. I'd already thought of using a shim...and I had a few in my garage. The packing tape was the missing link. Worked in 2 seconds. Thank you.
oh man,, I had a cd stuck in my $1000 in dash dvd player in my trans am for 3 weeks, and I just got it out with your method first try to, thank you thank you man !!!! Saved me thinking my player was going out ! :)))) Made by Day !!!
Excellent - this worked perfectly to remove two stuck CD's - thank you for taking the time to post this.
Amazing! I just bought a new vehicle and there was not one but two CDs jammed in there. I used your method and first pull I got one. Three seconds is later I hear a CD spool up and start playing...I then hit eject and boom CD #2 comes out. I now have a CD player. Thank you for sharing.
Although I loved the Lamb cd, I was fed up with it having been stuck in there for a week. I couldn't find a wooden shim, but a thin kitchen metal spatula with the tape worked first time! Many thanks.
Thanks so much! Worked perfectly. I had 2 CDs stuck in there and I got both out!
Me too.
Me Me Me....ME TOO!
Thanks for the info, I used my 2 inch putty knife and electrical tape, my Cd was stuck in my Yukon now when i pick my husband up from work he will be happy that he does not have to try and fix it :) lol it took longer to put the tape on then it did to get the Cd out .
I just tried your suggestion, I just used a bit of plastic with duct tape on the end , I put it in and came out first time, cd works fine, thanks very much mate.
Dude this is an amazing tip. I pulled my CD out on the first try too. My trouble started when I used a can of air to blow out the dust in the player, without realizing there was a disc in there. It's been stuck for a couple months. Thanks very much for sharing this!>
Thanks a lot for the tip man...did this trick to my girl whom had a cd strucked in..and it worked! I won't tell you which reward i've received after!! thanks a lot!
Why was there a CD in your girlfriend?
Hahah! Nice one dude!
I wonder what the reward could be...
OMG!!!! THANK YOU! This is the only thing that has worked! It worked on the first try too :) I just used an old CD covered in packing tape opposed to the shim. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
This really works! Thank you for posting this helpful tip. I can resume listening to my cds in my car!
Thanks. I had a CD stuck in my RV multi-media player. Used a putty knife and packing tape. Worked like a charm.
Used your tip on a 2004 Pontiac Grand AM GT. Worked like a charm. The CD popped right out. Thanks so much!
Thank you! Your idea worked perfectly!!! I used a spatula with the sticky side of the shipping tape on the outside of the spatula and followed your directions. Excellent!
Thanks it worked. The true irony of this is the fact that I found a roll of packing tape next to a pack of door shims in my office.
I had a cd stuck in my Mazda for 3 months and could not remove. I put a question on RUclips and saw your video it worked like a charm it took two tries but it worked. I used an old cd in stead of wood thanks.
Worked like a charm, thanks for the detailed instructions. Saved us a trip to the audio shop.
This worked!! Hardest part was getting taped wedge in, then out it came. Thx!
Thank you! I used a putty knife and duct tape in my Phillips stereo CD player (looks like a Bose), It worked like a charm!
Joe. Oct. 25, 2016. Simplest method. Wrap one end of a disc with and strong sticky tape. twist the tape so sticky tape is facing up. Hold the tape strongly with your thumb, and the insert into the disc just a bit until you are sure the tape has made contact with the disc inside. push down, and with your other hand push on eject and now pull out. Now the stuck disc comes out .
This works . I just did this about ten minutes ago. Good Luck, Keep well , Keep smiling
IT WORKED. THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION. I HAD SOME SHIMS IN MY GARAGE AND DUCK TAPE. MADE MY OWN DOUBLE SIDED TAPE AND FOLLOWED YOUR INSTRUCTIONS AND IT WORKED GREAT. THANKS SO MUCH
Used a putty knife and had to try it 4 times, but it finally worked. Had to press up harder than I thought, guess my tape wasn't as sitcky as yours, but it came out. Good on ya.
Success! There were six CD's stuck in my CD player. I tried the idea above, but using an old credit card. Once the first CD was removed, all the rest came out using the normal CD player eject button. Thanks a lot.
Great advice here, thanks. You gave me an idea and what I found that just worked for me was some double-sided tape on the back of a butter knife.
Thanks. I almost had the same idea but I was using duct tape on a 1" plastic putty knife. The duct tape was a bit thick for the job. I switched to packing tape like you used and used a bit of masking tape wrapped around the handle to secure it. It took a couple minutes to get the hang of it, but in under 10 minutes I had all 6 CDs out and undamaged! Thanks for the video.
Omg thank you so much for posting this. I finally got a christmas CD that was stuck out!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! This is by FAR the best trick to get a stuck CD out of your CD player!!
I watched your video and tried the trick with a thin plastic 6in ruler and duct tape. It worked!!!!! I'm scared to put another CD in to see if it still works. Thank you so much!!!!!
I got the tape and stick ready.. and went to blow out the cd player with a can of ultra duster industrial strength (a high pressure air canister used for cleaning electronics) and when I blew the heck outta the player inside while hitting eject the disc popped right out. maybe the pressure maybe just needed a good blast to clean..? but it worked!!
Just got six cd's out of my factory Holden VE Blaupunkt six stacker radio using this trick. I used a plastic ruler with electrical tape. Worked a treat, thankyou!
This is amazing! My new Sam Smith cd got stuck in the car cd player and this trick worked on the first try!!! No damage done or anything!
I am going to try the putty knife and packing tape thanks for the tip. I have 4 cds stuck in a broken cd player. I like that you made that dt,dt, dt, sound as that is what mine is doing so hopefully this will work.
This worked for me! I had 2 CDs stuck together. Thank You so much for the video!!!!!
Many thanks, Cory. Worked for me using tape and putty knife after a couple of attempts.
I used the metal spackle tool with packing tape and got 2 out. Going to put in a new unit. So glad I was able to retrieve the cds before I replaced the unit.
Your a Legend Man!!! Saved me about $600 & some gas & half my Saturday in 2019!
Wow!!! Thanks bunch! I was panicking thinking I was going to have to pay to get that thing out!! Worked for me! I used a butter knife and 2 sided tape! Came right on out!!!👍🏽
Easy fix!! Works like a charm!! Thank you for your advice. I used a plastic book mark with the tape.
It works!!! I used a switchblade with clear packing tape, sticky side up. Stuck it in, pressed blade down a little and hit eject. Popped right out.Wow.My TT and I thank you.
Thanks for tip, had Nirvana live CD-R stuck in reader in 2004 Malibu for about 4 yrs now(tired of Nirvana now).,tried several times before to remove it putty knife etc.with no success, used packing tape wrapped around credit card, put it in applied downward pressure hit eject and it came right out when I pulled.
funny how that worked for you, it didn't for me. I had to use a 2 1/2" putty knife and the CD came right out - after one week of "trying". I'm afraid to put another CD in or I'll just keep my putty knife with me. Talk about jury rigging. ha ha.
Just tried this!!! it worked!!! Found out my toddler had stuck 3 cds in there!!! Thanks!!!!
Thank you! I just got two CD's out of my Honda Accord. I used a putty knife and duct tape. The first came out right away; it took a few more attempts to get the second one out, but it worked!
Tried this using a 2" putty knife with packing tape on it. Worked beautifully! Thank you!
Thank you Cory Fournier! You are absolutely spot on on how to get a stuck CD! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 100 %. Best regards!
Worked!!! Had a DVD stuck in the player and a CD stuck in the CD player! Both out, thank you!! I also used a putty knife with the tape while hitting eject and it worked on my first try for both! 🙌🏻
MUCHAS GRACIAS!!! You are wonderful.Thank you for putting this on RUclips. I used a painters stick with sticky tape. I stuck it in the slot and thought it didn't work but after pulling the stick out I pushed eject and out popped the CD. YEAH!!!
Thank you, .Your trick worked like a charm.I had a plastic door shim and 2 in. Wide packing tape.I taped the packing tape to the shim at the back end instead of just holding it
I just used this technique to get a stuck CD out of an Alpine 7909 in my 1988 Lamborghini Countach. Yes... You helped fix a half million dollar exotic car.
lies
????
haters
Cbs stuck in cd player from a Toyota corolla
Lambo and a classic 7909- the real Alpine, made in Japan. Where it all started
Thank you! This worked on the first try. CD player did not recover, it's still unable to eject CDs. I had to test it, and again, your fix got it out.
Perfect! I used a putty knife and packing tape. I did the tape lengthwise and a wrap around the handle to make it easier to hold the sticky tape. Great fix!
Hey thanks so much for the video, I thought our CD player in the car had only our Christmas cd but also to my surprise had another one too. So that made my day. Anyway thanks so much for the video and the tip. I used a spatula for my removal
You sir are a legend i just got my first car about a month ago and was trying to figure out how to load multiple CD'S at once and ended up getting one stick in there but with this trick it came out second try phew
Used this trick with a putty knife and tape and it came out first try! Thanks for the tip!!
