CD stuck in player - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hi all,

I just bought a new 2005 Camry LE and when I placed a CD in the player nothing happened. I can't select the CD or eject it.

Any suggestions before I take it back to the dealer?

Thanks!

unplug the battery maybe that will do it.

Would popping out the fuse have the same affect?

Thanks!

take a credit/debit card, stick it under the cd and press eject. it should work, happened on my gen4

Thanks, but that didn't work. There is a silver bar with an orange stipe right in the middle and that's blocking me from taking the CD out.

Hey my mom has the same problem with hers. I would really like to know how to get it out. Anyone else have this problem?

My oem deck from gen4 has problem and I BELIEVE there's a disk stuck inside too ~ I have used an aftermarket one for quite awhile while my oem one sit in box ... I am about to just take the deck apart to see what happens ~

I took it back to the dealer and they have to order me a new player (approximately two weeks).

The problem was the disc size - "The player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) disc only."

I used one a little too thin, even though it works on all other disc players, just not this one.

Edit: Actually I was using 12 cm - Memorex. Maybe it was a compatibility issue.

Thanks all for the suggestions.

thats pretty retarded, a cd player should be able to handle all sizes.

I know a Mazda tech and he told me recently that Mazda recommends against using burned CDR's in their new decks. He said if it happens, Mazda will pop for a new deck one time if it jams. After that, the customer is on their own and these things are pretty expensive. Read your manual and see if Toyota says anything about CDR's.

All it states is that Copy Protected, CD-R, CD-RW and CD ROM may not be playable.

My 2000 F-150 plays all fine...are they going backwards in technology?

I wonder if it has something to do with the quality of the CD-R. I was using Memorex and I know Verbatim is one of the best brands, but now what if I try that and it does the same? I should be covered since it does not state "DO NOT USE CD-R".

I hope I don't have to dump all my CR-R's.
