Help! Stuck CD

[Ganton]

I've got an '01 Cobra with the stock AM/FM CD changer. There's a CD in it now that won't eject. No matter what button I push, play or eject, it won't do it and I get this "CD Error" message before the digital read out goes back to radio. What needs to be done here?

Rap solidly on the side of the console/shifter area to jar the CD loose. I've successfully removed several "jammed" CD's this way.

Hold the eject button down. It will come out if you hold it long enough...like 20 seconds. It seems to be an emergency eject feature.

hit EJECT and put a cd in there to get it unjamed, i do it all the time =x push it in and it should slide out

Got it out!!!

okay, okay, many thanx you guys. I got it out by pressing Eject and inserting a credit card and gently pushing down---it ejected right away...Didn't take much time or effort at all when I did that! Thanks again for the suggestions---next time I'll know what to do.

Mine sticks from time to time, and eventually it comes out...I really need to clean that optic...
