This video refers to a Volvo S60/V70 and a HU-803/HU-850 radio. The problem is caused by the aging of the four rubber dampers on which the CD player is mounted inside the radio.

After 10-15 years, these dampers compress, causing the entire CD player mechanism to drop; as a result, the CD is no longer aligned with the eject slot and gets stuck. To extract the CD without disassembling everything, you will need a second CD (even a blank or promotional one); insert it into the lower part of the slot, pushing it in about 3-4 cm. Tilt it slightly downward, and in the direction where you feel resistance: the goal is to slide the second CD underneath the stuck CD. Now press the "eject" button.

The display may show an error message while the mechanism attempts to eject. Lift the second CD so that it catches the edge of the stuck CD. This way, the stuck CD will latch on and be able to come out.
