Tape Stuck In Radio

I have a 01 CL with Navi and a couple of days ago my head unit started showing a tape error message. I'm trying to avoid paying over $100 to get the thing looked at... PLEASE HELP!!!

People still use tapes? I don't know what to suggest as far as getting it out. You could pull the entire dash apart and pull the deck but that seems like a ton of work.

disconnect battery and see if the thing resets itself (get code first)?

Pull head unit and tear into her.

Risk breaking tape deck attempting to pry tape mechanism up to retrieve tape using small flatheads.

Only 3 options I see.

I use the tape player to listen to my iPod since my drive and play sux... The only problem I have with going after market is the navi system.

best bet is to try and reset the damn thing. either unplug the batt, pull the fuse, or unplug the unit from behind. get the code first.

if not, i hope you really like the tape, cuz ur gonna be listening to that for a long time.
