Audio Systems: Disk jambed in Toyota 6 disk in dash player, 2002 toyota camry, toyota camry


Question
Any suggestions about how to get a jambed disk out.    The machine ejected 1,2,3,4,6 but not 5.  Everything works but we cannot load any disks nor can we dislodge the jambed disk

Thank you for your time and attention.  The car is a 2002 Toyota Camry  

Answer
Sadly, 4-5 years is a normal lifespan for one of those factory units.
It will be far cheaper to replace it than to repair it.

*I must point out that I would NOT repair ANY cd unit.. 6 disk or not.
MY best advice would be to go spend about $100.00 USD at Walmart or Circuit City on a new indash am/fm/cd/MP3/CD-R/CD-RW deck with the harness adaptor and the install kit.
Depending on the MP3 encoding rate, this will allow you to play up to 256 MP3's from a single cd (I am generally able to burn about 125 to a CD @ 160k bitrate) which can be made on a PC with a cd burner.  You cannot come close to that amount of listening time by using 6 normal cd's, it WILL
work with no need of repair, and it WILL have a guarantee.

A zealous yet careful novice could probably do this install.
