CD Player - not coin operated

Post by jake75 »

My daughters 3 year old son pushed coins into the CD player slot in her T&C. Must have thought it was a juke box. Now won't work. Anyone know how you get them out? I told her that I doubt it would be covered by the warranty.

Don't take any shortcuts (i.e., tweezers or dental instruments or sticky-sticks). Remove the head unit from the vehicle and open up the chassis and remove the coin(s). Then, when it's all fixed, keep that kid fastened up!

Then, when it's all fixed, keep that kid fastened up! exactly, don't try to get the coin out while the radio is in the car! You will ruin the radio for sure. Instead remove it from the car and disassemble it. Usually the top comes off after a few screws with car radios, but I haven't seen mine out of the car yet. If you can't figure it out, take it to a local electronics/TV repair shop. I'm sure they will just charge a small fee as long as the coins didn't break anything.

Don't tell nobody, but I think the dealer is going to take care of the problem "under warranty".
