OK, here is the story...
I got my install done with my new HU and EQ, and I am looking for my favorite CD, I am looking inside the house, in all the computers and the DVD player, all over my truck can't find my CD. I keep thinking, I was just listening to it yesterday, where could it be? Then it dawned on me, it is still in my stock HU. I know I am stupid, but my install was pretty hairy, I mounted 2 single DIN units in the stock hole, I am afraid to take it back out again, because it was a B*%$# to get it in there in the first place. Any ideas on how to get my CD out?
I am tempted to ask someone with an X to let me pull their HU out and plug mine in for 30 sec. and pull the CD out. But i am the only member here on the board from NW Florida, so I will have to find a stranger to try this.

:confused:
 






run a wire (with alligator clips, preferably) from the +12V pin and the GND pin on the back of the radio to the + and - terminals on your battery, power it up and eject it.
 






Why don't you grap a couple of wires with gator clips on the end, hook them to the positive and negative battery terminals and run them to the old HU then press eject?
 






I did the same thing with my stock disc changer. Not only did I leave the cartridge in there, but there were 4 CDs in it. I tried to get it out with a piece of wire and a 9V battery, needless to say that didn't work. :cool:
