Default Concert cassette tray stuck?

Alright, so last night i took my cassette adapter out of my Audi Concert radio. It had a little hard time coming out, even when pressing the eject buttons. but I managed to get it out by tugging on it a little. Now this morning I tried to put it back in and its getting blocked. I looked inside and it looks as though the tray that holds the tape is stuck down. Even when I press the eject buttons. It wont come up even trying to pry gently on it. Any Ideas?

Remove the radio. Remove the 2 or 3 screws holding the top on and remove top. You will be able to see better what is happening. If all else fails a new one from ECS is only $23.

You may be able to pull the loading frame forward and up with a hooked-end piece of stiff wire. Don't pull on the plastic cassette itself, but on the back of the part that holds it, while attempting to eject.

No worries anymore haha, I just got a deal on an Alpine iDA-x100, but now I have a new problem.. now I need a solution to plug my stock Audi cd changer into the IA-Net plug on the back of the Alpine. Any Ideas? I checked Blitzsafe but all they have is iPod adapters :/

The concert changer is made by Panasonic, I don't know of any adapter that can connect a 13 year old changer to a new head unit. It might exist but why bother.

See if they have an 8-track adapter too?

Cd's are so 90s. Time to move along, RIP your old discs to MP3 or whatever and get with the program.

I have over a 1000 songs on my Android phone. Many of the new head units don't even have a CD anymore.USB, Iphone, SD card is where it's at.
