yeah, that thing is a piece of shit. I beat the shit out of my CC holder and I finally got it unstuck! Little did I know that it would only be stuck open! My advice to you: bang all you want on it, but just expect to buy a new one if you want it to actually function.

do you know whats got it jammed?

**keith** · 05-03-2008 11:09 AM

it got stuck once before and i fixed it by just bangin on it but this time its being a bitch lol what i think is messing it up is when u put a lot of change in there it falls through the back and fucks it up

funny thing is the dealer told me - its not for coins LOL $150 to fix, yeah right. got my stereo shop to release it from underneath & now its just of no use. that bin thing sucks.. release it & let it be

had that happen to me once, i pryed on it a little bit, the plate came off, then i pryed somemore and it popped out!

Use a flat screwdriver and gently pry up on and back it beside the red light.

It's under a hundred dollars for a new one, and if you do replace it don't use it for anything other than cards or such... just thin, flat items that aren't likely to slide/fall behind the dash.

GL!

you could pop off the trim above it (console colored trim just below your metal/wood/plastic decorative dash trim.) then it should be easy to pry it open. use a plastic trim tool or wedge so you don't damage the finish

. Don't store any change or small items in there or in your ashtray, they will jam and break....
