Hi,

The tape deck on my 2003 accent is stuck with a tape in it. I tried
holding the eject button for 5 seconds as the manual suggests and it didnt
help. I also checked TSB's and they said the same thing. Is there any way to
get it out without causing damage ? The radio works fine, just the tape part
is messed up.

thanks,
DaveV

Just a question.... Who still has tape decks these days???? I thought CD
players were standard

How about a combination of hitting eject and pulling on the tape with
needle nose pliers?

I still have a tape deck. It's great. I bought a tape adaptor for $30
and use my Ipod in the car. No more listening to a cd fo six months
and then it won't play anymore cause it skips so much.

I use the tape deck with an adapter for my mp3 player as well

I tried gently pulling on it while hitting the eject button, no go. I didnt
want to get too rough with it.

It looks like there is a whole carrige that moves up and down with the tape
in it.

I'm using a transmitter for now but they are kinda weak. I may just change
the radio for one with an aux port. Any advice on changing the radio ???

I feel your pain.

I swapped my daughter's 05 Elantra radio with an Alpine CDA-9857 radio. She
loves it and uses her iPod everyday. It has the iPod adapter built-in and
only requires a specail $30 cable to connect to the iPod. Check Crutchfield
for details:

My Sonata has the optional 6 CD MP3 player. I've not paid any attention to
the iPod craze and MP3 until now. I can burn a disk with over 130 racks of
MP3 on it. I rip them to the MP3 format with Medial Player, they make the
CD from there. I can get over 300 miles on one disk!
