just realized where one of my good cd's has been hiding...its still in the stock cd player when i took it out to install the deck. could someone tell me what pin numbers on the back of the radio i need to put power and ground to just to eject the cd lol geez i dont know how i could have done that

I think there is a manual eject hole in the rear. hit it with a paperclip

i kinda looked around for one and didnt spot anything...do you know where it is exactly?

It doesn't take long to take the dash apart and unhook the aftermarket stereo....just do that...plug in the stocker quick and put it all back together....bet I could do it in 10 minutes easy.;)

I had the same issue. See below:

I just did the same thing but reverse of what you did.

I'm selling my Dakota, so i took the JVC CD Player out of it and re-installed the stocker... left a CD in the JVC... need to figure out how to get it out... LOL

thanks sritchie....thats exactly what i was looking for!
