How to Remove a CD That Is Stuck in a 2005 Chevy Tahoe

While Chevrolet vehicles are equipped with popular custom CD players, these players are not without their common problems. One such problem on vehicles, such as the 2005 Chevy Tahoe, occurs when discs get lodged in the player system and refuse to come out. There are a number of methods you can use to remove the disc without harming either the CD player or the compact disc itself.

  • Turn the key in the ignition to the "On" position then press and hold the "Eject" button on the CD player. Holding the button for up to three minutes will allow the player enough time to activate the ejecting track to try to force the disc out.

  • Press the "Power" button on and off as you hold the "Eject" button to try to confuse the system into pressing the disc out.

  • Reset the player by pressing the indented "Reset" button on the player's face. This will power the player down and reconfigure it, and the disc may pop out as a result. You must press the "Reset" button with a paper clip or a pen.

  • Insert the edge of a blank disc into the mouth of the CD player and attempt to lodge it underneath the stuck disc. Use the blank disc to push the stuck CD up into the ejecting track and press the "Eject" button, as you do so, to push the disc out of the player.
