Car Stereos: cd, alpine stereos, aftermarket radio


Question
cd in my malibu factory radio will eject but not push the cd out

Answer
If the cd comes out at all, just pull it out as hard as you can.  If it doesn't come out at all, then you may be able to push a butter knife in the slot and pry upward a bit to pull the cd out.  That may ruin the cd, so use caution or do not do if you want to keep cd unscratched.  If these do not work, the unit will need to be removed and taken to an electronic repair shop.  They will get the cd out and repair the eject mechanism, so you can keep playing cds.  If you end up getting the cd out yourself, I would recommend not putting another one in, until you get it repaired.  That is a common problem with those radios, and with the cost of repairs being around $100, I would recommend getting a decent aftermarket radio and getting rid of the problem altogether.  I recommend Alpine stereos.  Even their cheap ones work and sound great.  Hope this helps, Scott
