So, last week some scumbag came into my driveway, went in my car, and swiped the faceplate off the stereo. Besides the obvious downsides (much anger, increased paranoia, no tunes in my ride, etc.) this has left Peter Rowan & Tony Rice stranded in the CD player - anyone have any ideas on how I could go about rescuing them?

Try you're local Radio shop. Explain what happened and if they have a radio like yours there I'l bet they let you use the face off it to get the cd out. Or find someone that has a radio just like yours and ask them. OO PS. Same thing happened to me a few weeks back. They couldn't get the radio out so they took the face anyway. PUTZs. | ||

The CD changer in my Highlander died with a Grateful Dead CD stuck in it. When I get around to replacing the stereo (Toyota wants $1200 just for the 6 disc changer - I can get a better, brand new stereo for less than a third of that), I'm hoping the installer can get my CD back. Bill, tgo | ||

Peter - I don't know much about car stereos, but a lot of computer CD drives have a little pin hole. Inserting an unfolded paper clip into the hole forces the drive to eject. Maybe your stereo has something similar? | ||

One of my friends had his old car towed last week...he was commenting that all he had was the faceplate left to remember it by ( I don't think he's going to retrieve the car since it needed a bit of work)...I know it's a one in a thousand chance...I could see what kind he had. I like olie's idea ...sounds like a winner. |
