A friend broke the tip of my aux cord and it is now stuck in the jack.Chevy said they could only get it out by taking out the radio which is $100 an hour.Are there any good tricks or tips to get it out?

Try using a dental instrument. Or a screw extractor (AKA an ez-out).Quote:

Just take the radio out and shake it upside down...
did the cable Plug break off to where there is little bit sticking out of the Aux port, or is it Flush or even Countersunk with the end of the Aux Port?
the tip is at the very bottom of the aux port.
How far in is it? In other words, what is the measured distance from the opening to the end of where the piece is lodged?Quote:

Do you have a hatch? It matters.. Lol they had different radios.
What you’ll need, radio and screwdriver (Philips)

This is what it will look like (minus after market radio) There are four screws two on each side.

This black rod is going to give you some resistance, pull gently.

When you pull it out there will be four more screws & 5 tabs

Get something small enough to poke it out and then you’ll be good to go!
