Is there a way to manually remove a CD from an RX8 radio? The radio isn't in a car, and I really don't have the option to swap it in one, is there a way I can get the CD out? I know computer CD drives have a mechanical release you an push with a paper clip, is there anything like that with this. I need this CD asap. Thanks...

 

if I remember there is a mechanical release but to access you must have the CD drive in hand...all else fails wire up power to the unit using another car and a voltage adaptor if needed

 

Any idea where the release is? I looked and couldn't find it.

 

anyone?

 

There is no manual release for single cd. As truemagellen stated, the mech would need to be removed from the module and the load motor could be rotated by hand or low voltage (5V) applied to said motor.
