how to get stuck cds out of the player without undoing the whole dashboard

I have done this many times and it depends on how it's stuck. Generally speaking you have to realize you may damage the cd in there. If you have a tiny plastic wedge you can used the to lift up on the cd while pressing eject providing the eject features still works. It's possible you may need a metal pick but this is where it gets tricky and you have to worry about damaging the cd player and the disc. If you don't feel comfortable with any of this I understand and would recommend swinging by a stereo place. They have probably done it a million times. Alex

You don't have to go to the dealer. Here is a link to find a shop near you. You can also call up Best Buy or a store that does radio and alarm installs. I bet they will do it for you for a good tip or half hour labor. https://repairpal.com/repair-shops Alex
