The kind that is on a swivel. All digital and the tape door opens out. I press the button and nothing happens. Tape just clicks.

See if there is a " button " sort of thing just by where the " tape " goes in, & lightly press it as you press thje EJECT button.

It will be a small projection towards the corner where the tape goes in, "telling" the radio a tape is in.

I've done this a few times on a worn out VCR to get the vid out.

IDK if it would be on a radio, but may be worth a look.

Hopefully some one who knows exactly what to do will post up!!

Good luck!!

Ill take a look tomorrow. The tape door doesn't open much at all. The left side opens more than the right and when I pry it open a but the tape stops so there might be a button. I'll let you know.

I'll take a look at my GrandAm & tomorrow also & see if there's something like that. Stock radio, but worth a try.
