Thanks to all for the feedback. I checked www.dodgeintrepid.net and some suggested getting a felt tipped tweezer or needle plier in there and pulling the CD up and force the eject mechanism. In this case I don't think that will work.
Removing the head unit was not on my most favored action list but since I need to get the A/C charged once more, perhaps I can do it all at once. BTW: This was not a burned CD or one with a label on it. It was one of those Time/Life music compilations. While I would like to blame the CD for possibly being out of spec, as those T/L cd's seems to give me errors every so often, clearly the age of the deck is an issue here as well. --- In [email protected], Geoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The plastic bezel surrounding the stereo, hvac and shelf is removable, > held in by spring clips.
