Hello everyone. First time post. I sold my 08 RDX last year but had an extra GPS DVD player I had planned to install but never did. It has the DVD still in it. Anyone know what wires I need to connect to power it on to eject the DVD? I don't want to destroy it but I'd like to get the DVD out of it and figure out what version it is.
If it's anything like a traditional CD/DVD drive, there should be a tiny hole on the front near the door. Push the end of a paper clip or similar into that hole and it'll push the door open a bit.
It looks like it has a front face plate that covers the actual tray door. Are you able to open that with your fingers to see the actual door behind it? I want to say if you push on the very bottom of the drive, you should be able to open that flap and see behind where the hole is. I'm not near my car at the moment or I'd try it myself and get an actual pic for you.
Yes, I can open the flap door but there is no hole. There is a hole but I believe that is a catch for the flap not an ejection point.

Ok, so I took a peek and I see it's a slot loading drive with no tray. That kind of complicates things...
One thing you can try - use a credit card or something else thin and rigid. Apply some double-sided tape and insert it in the slot so it makes contact with the label side of the disc, and gently pull it back out. May work, may not.

Thanks everyone. I was able to remove the three top screws and lift the top up enough and read the version. Then slide a credit card in to slide it out. Not the gold mine I was hoping for but it’s better to know. Ver 4.62
