Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the
same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice
as fast as that! -Lewis
If you break a plug tip off inside a connector on one of our radios, and can't
get it out, send it in and we'll replace the connector. No charge for anything
but shipping.

Biggest problem I’ve seen in cheap import connectors is poor quality plating.
Both material & surface finish.

No one seams to have mentioned that there is a small difference in diameter
between a 3.5mm plug and a 1/8” plug (which is 3.175mm).
However, I believe the socket on the K3 is a 3.5mm one, so that should not have
caused this.
I’m sure someone like Don can confirm this.

I did try a broken key extractor to get the tip of the plug out of the
jack, but I couldn't get it to grab. But getting a broken key out of a lock
is what it's designed for, so it might have worked reasonably well to get
that key out of your ignition.

On Sat,
I once used super glue to try to get the end of a broken off ignition key out.
Ha ha, that lock was never the same!
Eugen, I'm glad you were able to get the broken piece out of the jack. Ham
ingenuity!

Thanks for reposting all the ideas in one place. Much easier to find in the
future, and easier to keep mental track of.

Hello,
thank you very much for your advises and responses.
They are really helpful.
Here is what I have learned.
Several options how to remove the tip of the plug from the jack:
A. use a ball pen refill with a proper inner diameter, i.e from a BIC pen,
which pulls over the tip firmly and then
I had to do this, too, on my KX3. I had to open it up and use a lockpick to
push the broken tip out from the back of the jack. I'm just glad it wasn't
the type with a plastic box around the action, or it would have been a lot
harder.

I don't mean to belittle the problem, but it's the same as when the

I had this happen with a neighbors daughters laptop. I was able to get a small
diameter drill bit like is used for drilling pcb holes and using a pin vise put
a few twists of the bit into the broken part of the connector. Then I gently
pulled it out.

Hello,
after removing the cable of an external key the tip of the stereo 3.5 mm plug
remains in the KX2 key jack.
Any idea how to remove the tip without destroying or replacing the key jack?
Any help is appreciated.
