boom3 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I have a CD stuck in the changer of my 2012 Genesis. Various remedies were suggested on the web: 1. Remove both fuses for 10 minutes to make the AV system perform hard reset. No Joy. 2. Attempt to load another desk while holding on to it, in the theory that it will "grab" the stuck disc enough for the changer to spit out the stuck one. Nope, nothing happened. There are other remedies involving crotchet hooks and double--faced tape, but I am not about try those for fear of damaging the changer (a costly item). I know how to get to the changer from a YouTube vid, but that's last resort. The Genesis forum yielded one non-helpful response. I'm not even sure why the CD is stuck; it doesn't have a label (quit using CD labels long ago). Any non-invasive ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestonTom Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 If there is no paper clip hole, then phone the dealership (not five minutes before closing). They see this all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 My 2003 Chevy 5 disc changer did the same. Removed the unit and cover then got the discs out. No good, stuck the first time back in. Replaced with a Kenwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 You bought a genesis? Sounds pretty cool, how do you like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Same thing happened to me with the Mustang I used to own. I hope the new owner liked Michael Jackson. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Typically the players need to be disassembled to remove the discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 All you need is: A spatula, some double sided tape, a delicate hand, and a sweet southern girl to perform the operation.👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For background, I drove Grand Marques for 22 years. Ford lost interest in those cars long before they were discontinued (the Panther chassis) and the technology and quality fell behind. A mechanic buddy reecommended Gennies and I drove a a two-year old '12 and fell in love. Like going from the Queen Mary to a destroyer. I like everything but the fact that sometimes the AV system doesn't come on. The Hyundai Genesis forums are mainly the realm of those who want to hot rod the cars, not fix intrinsic problems, so they have been of little help. I did, however, score a free service manual from the forum owner. The Lexicon stereo is amazing, which makes the stuck CD issue all the more annoying. I have to say that not only is the Lexicon the best car audio I've ever heard, but it is also one of the best audio systems I've ever experienced. Being tuned to the cabin, it is milers beyond anything aftermarket I could afford, and since I mainly listen to classical, I don't need boom-car bass.

You are just full of good news. Option 2, apparently by sheer luck, has always worked for me. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
