Default CD player jammed

CD player has been jammed, i read the manual and it said certain CDs will mess it up. I think this is what happened. If I remove the Head Unit (or whatever its called) could i get to a place where i could remove the CDs?

My CD player jammed in my old V6, try pushing eject and sticking another cd in the slot half way, on top of the jammed one and pull it out quickly. Sounds stupid, but it worked for me.

mines jammed many times before and what you mentioned and just hitting random buttons worked... now not only is it jammed, but it wont even play... i think i'm going to take it a part and if i break it in the process, i'll just buy a new one... good bye exaust i want so bad

If it's a 6-disc changer, they suck, on every car.

it is, yes they do, indeed thats what i've heard.

i just would rather work on my exaust because an earlier owner of the car did something retarded to it and it sounds like **** and not have to buy a new CD player

In case i would have to buy one, any one have any recommendations? (i now know i could most likely install it myself which will save me some money) i know its a dumb question, but if any body has a cheap one the like i wouldnt mind knowing

do you guys think if i opened up the CD player its self i could fix the problem? i was going to do that, but it got too dark, so i plan to do it tomorrow morning.

this is actually a good thing for me to learn a very small amount about cars.

Don't open it up and don't flip it upside down, you'll really get screwed. I know a GREAT radio repair guy, and he will say "junk it."
