I have an 04 Chevy Silverado with the factory CD player that has a CD (and not a particularly good one at that) stuck in the player. When you try to eject it only makes a clicking noise for about 5 seconds then displays "CHECK CD."

Anybody have any ideas on how to remove it? Am I going to need a new radio? If so, would it be wiser to just leave the radio as is and get a CD changer?

I can regear a 10bolt blindfolded but I know jack crap about electronics. What should I do?

 

that happened to my friend with his 04 sierra and had to get a new cd palyer and get it programmed from dealer but then again the 03-06s have more electronics than the 99-02s and the dealer he went to just went out of business for embezzelment sooo

 

the addition of a cd changer sounds like the best route, unless you plan on running an aftermarket cd player.

also if you move the little flaps of rubber or felt or whatever it is can you see the edge of the cd?? if so you may be able to get a very skinny pair or needle noses on the very edge of the cd (as to not scratch it where i would effect playback) if it trully is THAT good of a cdthen you could always pop a crappy or FUBAR cd that wont play in there and see if it would be a reoccuring problem or not, then go down wichever road you choose.

 

Thanks for the replies.

Anybody know how much a new Stereo from GM costs? I think I will try to pick at it again this weekend and pry it out. I guess I can't mess anything up worse than it already is. If that doesn't work, I'll start checking to see if Best Buy or Circuit City can wire up a cd changer for me.

 

mine did the same thing on my 05...just disconnect your battery and reconnect...should straightin it out

 

We ended up popping it out with a butter knife. The CD player is shot, so now it's time for a changer. Thanks again guys.

 

For what you can buy a cd changer for, it would probably be better off to get on ebay and buy a pioneer radio or whatever, just don't get a jensen, I made that mistake a few years ago.

 

Same thing happened in my 03... Just stuck in there one day I got it out and it worked for awhile but did it again and it was dead, maybe a dvd player next???

 

Listen dude....I see this proble about 3 times a week! You have to remove your Radio unit and send it to a AC Delco repair center. I use Model Electronics out of Ramsey New Jersey.

 

Hey yeah this just happened to me on my 06 Sierra and took it to the dealership and they are ordering me a new one.....Yay Well just thought i would put it out there
