Don't you just love'm
It's probably going to require that the audio unit be removed and then coin removed.. I can give you direction to pull the audio unit, and you may get lucky and have it come out the same way it went in, tipping/rolling the unit with the load slot downwards.. If not the cover plate can be removed for a little better access to the 'change'.. It requires radio removal tools that most of the local auto parts/tool dealers sell.. Is this a CD6 unit?

 

At most auto part stores, you can purchase a telocope-type mechanics magnet (its powerful) . This item will allow you to fish around within the whole CD compartment area, and will most likely grap the coin inside. Wish you luck!

 

Coins aren't magnetic. It also isn't a good idea to have powerful magnets around electronics, it could cause problems.

 

I had no idea that coins weren't magnetic.......thanks for the correction.
