So i put a cd in and it wont play or come out? Any way to resolve this short of going to a dealership? BTW its the stock Xb pioneer stereo.

Mine did this same thing. Took it to the dealer, they told me I didn't know how to press the eject button. After fighting them they have replaced the hu 3 times for the same problem

Have now learned to rap the top of the dash while pressing the eject button, I will do this until I swap out to an aftermarket. Anoying yes, rapping pita, cheap yep.

But short of taking it to the dealer, again, I have learned to live with it, for now.

So just whack the dash while pressing eject and in theory it will come out?

 

[Clockwork Orange]

turn off the car and hold eject button while you restart car.

 

[Frogbox]

Yep, works on mine.

Seems it gets hung up on that wiper strip in the slot.

Do it gentle at first, you don't want to break anything.

 

[usmcbox]

Thanks all for tips. Tried Clockwork Orange's idea first and it worked.

 

[Clockwork Orange]

Sweet, im glad it worked.

My CD player has given me the same problem since I bought my 2006 xB. Now that I have my ipod, I'm not using the CD player as much, but it sure is annoying to have a new unit do it.

 

[Frogbox]

Glad to know it worked for you.

I always find it difficult to turn off my car while I am doing 65mph

But we all deal with the quirks on our cars, don't we ?

I thought i was the only one with the prob of the stock stereo sucking...i just hit eject about 82 times and if that doesnt work i flip out and beat the player with my hand till it gives in lol

 

[ChromiumSteel]

Is that called "Hulking out?"

 

[boxd_up_2]

Never had a problem with mine, and I put all kinds of crappy burned cds in there. But, I'm glad I now know how to deal with it if/when it does happen.

My stock CD player/changer locked up too, between disc3 and 4 changeover. very annoying, turning off/on the car while pushing the eject button seems to work!
Another trick that seems to work well, is to eject the whole unit from the dash, and insert a quality aftermarket head unit, that is actually, ''Satellite-Ready''!!!

when my cd's get stuck i usually pry 'em out with a credit card

 

[gorillaz]

tried all of the above and still wont come out

 

[amber0413]

nothing worked for me either, i had the dealer replace mine . its under warrenty so they will fix it for you!!!!

My bf got a burned disc with a bad label stuck in his

You could hear the motor trying to move it, it just couldn’t get a grip.

I ended up pulling the stereo out (leaving it connected for power) and using a straightened paperclip through one of the little holes on top to give it a nudge while pushing the eject button.

Worked great.

That’s the only time we’ve had one stuck in either of ours.

i have the same problem if there is a sticker label on there... just use a business card (paper of course) and slide it in (still holding the end dont stick it all the way in there) over the top of the cd and press the eject button always slides right out for me!

 

[BoomBox]

Umm....I have one question for you guys that have this problem....Do you all smoke in your car?

I've never had anything happen like this to any of my car electronics, even the cheap stuff. Then again, I don't smoke.

I've had many friends who've had to replace their headunits because they held their cigarettes close to the unit all the time.... Just a question, and just a though.

this happened to me recently, listening to snoop doggs blue carpet treatmeant. i pressed the eject button it looked like it was stickin its tongue out on me. i kept pressing the button. switching back to radio and back to cd. then it came out. and yeah i do smoke in my car, heavily. is the nicotine resin making it all stuck boom??
