Try this
While the car is off, hold the power and the eject button. Press your CD player's power and eject buttons down at the same time, holding them for about ten seconds. It may have a "force eject" feature many do, it should spit out the CD.
If this doesn't work, start the car and try again. Some CD players may not function when the car is turned off. For these players, try pressing and holding the power and eject buttons while the car is running.
Can't hurt to try.
If you see or know of a Snap On tool truck around your area when he's stopped can't hurt to ask him if he has one like it or knows a mechanic that would do it on the side.
just a thought. Also Mac or Matco tools.
hope this helps a little.

Most CD players have a reset button.looks like a very tiny depressed button...push it while you press on the eject button.

The bulb number that you need is #194.
Pull off the interior trim, and you will see the sockets for the bulbs.

SOURCE: cannot find dipstick to check transmission fluid

There is no "dipstick for the VW Beetle transmission". This is a dealer check/repair item. The unit is typically sealed, but can have a leak if the seal on top of the transmission fails. About a $700 repair. This happened on my 1998 VW New Beetle.

SOURCE: 99 VW Beetle blows warm air when you start air conditioner

your condensor fins could be blocked by leaves or other debris on the outside. this component is located right behind the radiator. there could also be an overcharge or under charge in the system. make sure that when you charged the system that you used a good set of gauges to check the system pressures. Also check and make sure that there is not a blockage somewhere in the lines, Usually if there is there is a fine layer of ice surrounding it.

VW beetle new CD player draining battery! I recently bought and installed a new CD player to my 2001 vw beetle. Previous was factory tape player. After a week of new player battery drained completely.

Did you find a solution? If not reconnect the power wire to either ignition or accessory, this way when the key is taken out there will be no power at the radio

When I approach stop light and press in clutch to shift down, car stalls. Battery light comes on. Sometimes will restart and be OK until next stop, other times will not restart until it "rests"...

if it is cranking and starting back i would say its not a batt or alternating problem

most likely the reason the batt light is coming on is because its idleing rough as it quits running if it were me i would just drive it to a dealer and save the toe bill

I have a cd stuck in the cd player. help.......2005 vw beetle

grab some hemostats and probe the middle of the slot for the cd's edge. Clamp and pull.

The only option other than reaching in a grabbing the disk would be to remove the entire middle dash panel by systematically removing all bolts, removing the cd player, opening the top of the unit and "plucking" the disk out, only thing is you are likely to continue having this problem unless the unit is replaced or you found something obstructing the disks path the you where able to remove.

2004 VW New Beetle Stalling

Check the oil level to make sure you have sufficient oil in the crankcase, and that it's not burnt. Also check the level of the antifreeze/coolant in the cooling system. Low levels can cause the car to shut down. Alway look at the cheaper easy to solve problems, then move to the more complicated.

I have a 2000 beetle with fixing in the boot for cd changer...will any changer do, not sure what i should be looking for! Thanks

Likely have a Monsoon radio system in your 2000 Beetle. The CD changer is controlled by your radio, and not any CD changer will connect to the outlet in your trunk. You can either find a CD changer on eBay (or elsewhere, or swap out your radio for a radio from a newer VW Beetle that has a CD player installed instead of the cassette. Can also find those on eBay.
