The cd player in my car ate my Prince cd.... Today I wanted to listen to the extended dance mix of 'Little Red Corvette' in my car. I inserted the cd in the slot of the cd player...no sound. It was the 3" cd single which is very small of course. In stead of a warning from my car it decided not to play and even worse: it won't come out! In case you were wondering: the cd has more value to me than my car. But since I don't want to wreck my car which brings me to work every day: does anyone have a clue how to get it out? Is there a way to retrieve it safely without scratches (my cd) and without disassemble it (my car)? Any suggestions? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 'Liberate My Mind' | |

Find a coaster in your junk drawer - by coaster, I mean an old CD that doesn't work. Or use a blank one if that's all you have. Insert the coaster about an inch into the slot (yes, on top of the stuck CD). Then turn the ignition on and hold the eject button and wiggle the CD around.

Any car stereo place (I'm assuming they have those in the Netherlands) will be able to remove it for you, and likely do it for free as they know you'll be back eventually to upgrade your system. [Edited 6/28/16 19:20pm] | |

A few years ago Ive had a puppy eat a Prince CD-R I made... LOL Fortunately, she didnt swallow it but she cracked it up pretty good. It was a bootleg so I guess that was Karma LOL! [Edited 6/28/16 15:57pm] | |

Glad you asked the question My car did the same thing ...I am ready to tear up the dashboard of my lexus to get the CDs out. We have tried inserting a new cd but that button won't open the cd flap either. | |

Thnx 4 all the suggestions and heartfelt messages ![]() I found the solution and it worked: I disconnected the battery in order to reset the radio and after a few minutes, after reconnecting, it gave the cd back. Thankfully. All I need to do is reprogram the radiostations that were programmed as favorites, but I think I won't even bother to do that since I never listen to the radio in my car. Only cds. The 3" single is back in my vault, only to be played indoors! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 'Liberate My Mind' | |

I never place my 3 inch discs in anything other than a player with a tray. They aren't compatible with car players with slots. YOu will need to take the player out of the dash for sure. Whether you have to open it to get the disc depends on how it fell inside. You may have to sacrifice the player if you want that rare disc that you will never see in production again.

Yes this is what I do - just copy them onto CDr - it makes for less drama long term. Then just store the originals..........(I also keep a copy of the discs on my Portable Back up Hardrives too). I am super paranoid with my collection and baby everything....... Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜 | |

If you did, then you dont deserve the CD.!! Yes, I placed it without adapter. Simply because the cd HAS no adapter. I have two (2, deux, zwei, due, twee) 3" cds, the redt only regular 5". Both without adapter and never before played in my car until two days ago. I finally got it out, so.... ![]() 'Liberate My Mind' | |

This was the case, but new computers (primarily laptops) are mostly released without them now.
