Is it possible to get a cd out of a car stereo after it has been disconnected from the car.?

Question

It is a factory fitted stereo from a Honda CRV

Answer 1

You can, but it's easier if you can get 12v to the power terminals as it would eject itself then.
To get it out without power you will need to partially strip it and manually turn the motors inside. This can potentially damage the mechanism though.

Answer 2

Hi there

yes there is but there is an easy way and a hard way to do it!

The easy way is to reconnect the power leads from your stereo to a spare car battery and operate the eject as normal.

The hard way is to take the stereo to bits and remove the disk that way.

Sorry but that's the only two ways to do it!

Good luck

Answer 3

I'm sure if you open the stereo you can retrieve your CD otherwise the stereo probably needs power to just eject your CD.

Answer 4

Why not take it along to a car cd/radio electronics dealer. They could put it on their test bench and apply power to make it work.

Might cost you a couple of quid but better than screwing the cd player!

Answer 5

There should be a lever that releases the CD tray and then you can remove the CD. Try turning the player upside down and sideways, too, to see if it slides out.

Answer 6

this is a dificult question but the answer is that all you should need to do is take it to a specialist or your local hallfords as they should be able to conect it to their system so that the cd player has power to eject the cd

Answer 7

if you look closely you should see a small pin hole possibly in the front under the CD tray. gently insert a cocktail stick or something similar and it should release the tray. I hope that helps.

Answer 8

connect it to a car battery. itll have power then.

Answer 9

not unless you can get power from another source

Answer 10

nope not unless you can power it up
