Hi everyone,
finally turned to this forum for help
I have a 2000 S430 and been using a cassette adapter to play music on my phone. It's been working well and one day just when I started the car, I realized I had to push the power button to turn on the stereo manually even tho I left it on when I turned off the car (so it would just automatically have to turn on). so I pushed the power button, but then the cassette slot opened up like when you wanna eject the cassette (eventho I didnt push the eject button) and it just stayed there and it's stuck (shown in the photo)



I know that in order to take out the cassette the whole stereo and dashboard would have to be taken out. but I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to fix it and not have to take it to a shop and spend money? :/
Thanks in advance

Mariann,

Cassette will not eject. I just tried mine and when the door opens, the cassette comes up to the position yours is in then it ejects the cassette out. Have you tried to help it out ie pull on it? Try hitting all the buttons to get a reaction.

I have a cassette adapter just like yours but rarely use it. You have to search for help with cassette won't eject term. I doubt if you will have to pull the whole unit out. I suspect some minor glitch.

Good Luck,

Bob
