Getting a Cd out of a Cd player no longer in the dash

Hi Y'all,

It's been awhile. Still mourning the loss of my '93.

When I replaced my OEM stereo, I forgot a cd was still in the unit. I don't have a harness any longer to hook it up to power. Is there a manual eject somewhere? If there isn't, I'm assuming the two red wires leading to the white clip on the outside of the case are power leads. Is the one with the black stripe positive or negative?

Thanks for the help.

First you have to decide if you need the stereo to work when you're done . . .

Sorry, I have no clue, the first thing that came to mind was:

Get a big hammer . . .

Good Luck,

Connect the power wires to any 12vdc source and hit the eject button:

Line up 8 AA batteries (touching at the ends) and touch the cd player wires to the ends of the line
Wrap the power wires around the two prongs of a 12v fuse in your fuse box i.e. parking lights, dash lights, cig lighter, tail lights, etc. and plug the fuse back into the car.

Thanks for the replies.

Does anyone know if the two red wires coming from the cd player are the power leads?

Does the stripe on one of those wires indicate power?

SVXDC, if you're still around, I'm sure you know this.

If I hook the polarity up wrong, I'll fry the unit. Don't want to do that.

Somehow, I think Brian's idea might work a little bit better than mine!

Brown/Red is +

Black is -

Dan,

Thanks.

From the diagram, it looks like the wires I've mentioned are for illumination of the CD player. I can't read the diagram well enough to figure out which pins are power and ground on the main unit harness recepticle. I'll look at the radio to see if there are any indications.

Do you have the complete stereo? Yellow and Red are the positive ends (main/accessory). Black will be ground. You should be able to power up the unit and eject the CD.
