NAV disc STUCK!
So, I tried making a hybrid nav disc but it looks like i failed. My failed hybrid disc is now stuck in the nav disc drive and I can't get it out because I can't get to the menu button to press eject disc. It just says something like "unable to read disc, please consult a dealer." Or something of that sort.
Any suggestions?

this has actually happened to me several years ago...
i did not know of any buttons to remove the disc... so i manually removed it myself.
How did i do this? disassemble the whole HU and manually removed the bad disc and inserted the OEM disc from the DVD NAV DRIVE.... such a relief...
but before u go through what i did.... best to check if there is a way to remove the disc without taking your HU apart.

there was a thread about this..
someone had the same problem.
since the hybrid disc is not being read by the nav, it should continue to spin/turn inside.
what you need to do is find something..maybe a flathead or ruler small enough to slide into the cd slot. once u slide it in, hold down on the cd to stop it from spinning.
once the cd stops spinning, you should be able to eject the disc.
lemme know if it works.

IT CAN BE THAT BAD.........OP suck it up, tuck you head between your tail, and go to dealer. tell them what you did and they should be able to remove it probably with a fee but still better than replacing a whole HU or if they cant/wont do it, try a reputable audio shop!

hey guys..im just suggesting a method that was posted on this forum and it was proven to work..so relax
i was wrong about the flathead ..it was a credit card..but the idea was the same.
im just trying to help the guy out because obviously, he wouldve went to the dealer in the first place if he wanted to. he posted here because he wants to see if any of us have other ways to get the cd out..so im just trying to help.
here is the link

"Thanks...I actually JUST got it out. I got to thinking about how my macbook pro is similar style loading. And there was instructions on getting a stuck CD out of the macbooks. You basically have to pin the cd (i used a credit card) so that it stops spinning. Once the cd stopped spinning in the dvd drive, the menu button worked. At that point I was able to press DVD menu on the screen and the select eject.
So just an FYI for those who get stuck at a point where the DVD drive is reading and the menu won't work (or the top left/lower left method). This will work as well. You just have to get the drive to stop trying to read the DVD by pinning it down. Once the cd stops spinning, the menu functions come back. "

OK. I figured it out. I'll post the instructions just in case anyone else has problems with this.
When you're on the black screen that says "disc cannot be read, take to your dealer" or something of that sort, just tap the top right of the screen and your dvd will pop out. That's it!

One other thing that worked for me:
Turn the car on and go through the menus as fast as you can to hit eject. You can do it fast enough so that it will eject before the unit has enough time to try to read the disc.
