How to Remove a Stuck CD from a Toyota Camry CD Player

Model: Toyota Camry Xv40 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Car stereo

Here is an emergency method to retrieve a CD from a Toyota Camry CD player: straighten a paperclip (preferably a large one) to form a straight wire, and create a small hook at the end by bending the tip into an "L" shape. Insert the paperclip into the CD player, sliding it along the side of the CD: use a flashlight for better visibility and insert the hook into the center hole. Rotate the hook in the center hole and turn it 90° so that the hook catches under the CD, then pull outward. When the CD is out far enough, grab it with your fingers and pull it out completely. If done carefully, the CD will come out without scratches!
