Tape cassette stuck in player.

Peter Whysall 21 April 2005 22:08:48
 I have the regular BMW Business Radio/Cassette head unit in my 1999 318ti.

The tape plays fine, but when I press the eject button, the mechanism
chitters and doesn't eject the tape. The display helpfully says "ERROR".

Is this a common problem? Is there a neat trick for getting a stuck tape
out, or shall I have to remove the head unit to do it? If so, is it
complex to reconnect?

Cheers,

Peter.

 Removal is easy, but requires a special tool - a 5-sided allen wrench - to
get it out.

Look closely at the front of the radio, there are small covers - one on each
side - that can be pried open to expose the 5-sided allen screws. The
special tool has a blade on it to pry the covers open.

It appears that the previous owner has managed to locate and lose these
little covers. I wonder if I can get replacements?

Is it feasible to remove the tape without taking the head unit out of
the console?

Thanks

Peter.

 I'm not sure. My guess is that if you had a spring hook, you could GENTLY
pry the tape up and press the Eject button and see if you can help the
mechanism a little, but beyond that, your guess is as good as mine.

 You can actually just jam a strong-tipped small screw driver in there and
undo the allen screws with it. They may get a bit gouged, but it's only a
tape player, and when you get it out it's the perfect opportunity to put a
CD or MP3 player in there.
