Turn the car upside-down and shake it.

Does it have detachable face? If so, there is usually a little hole that operates the eject mechanism using a pin under the face.
If you don't have a detachable face and its a factory radio your manual may tell you how to get it out or call a local dealer.

So THAT’s what happened to my SciFiHiFi UFO Soundtrack CD. Your car stole it!

Needle nose pliers. Or hemostats. That, or a heat gun and just melt it out of there.
Ever stick a CD in the microwave? It’s pretty neat looking for a second.

I couldn’t resist being a smart-ass, sorry. What I would do is stop-by the local car stereo (installation) shop and ask one of the teenagers (preferably with the longer hair). They might know a trick or two. Slip him five or ten bucks and be on your way.

It’s a factory radio and the manual doesn’t say. I don’t see a hole anywhere. So, in other words I get to pay $$$ for the Chevy dealer to get it out?
BTW, it’s a Chevy Equinox.

The way things are going, you’d be better off listening to the spanish language station.

Straighten out a paper clip and poke around... then go find a big, claw hammer.

Also, if it’s a newer car, there could be some electronics in the CD player, with “smarts”. If you can, pull the power entirely from the CD player (like a hard reset) and re-apply it — you should be able to do this by pulling a fuse somewhere. If the CD is your clock/radio as well, you’ll lose all your settings, but it might make the CD player “remember” there is a CD in it.

Ask to talk to someone about the problem. These guys are usually pretty helpful. The techs seem to want to help instead of simply telling you bring it in.
