Car was totaled with CD in the CD player. How do I get cd out w/o power?

My car was totaled and a CD was in the CD player. I removed the cd player before I left the junkyard, but couldn't eject the cd that was in there because the car had no power and couldn't be started. I now have a new car that has it's own cd player and the one that's not in use is at my house. I don't want to switch out the cd players because I like the newer one better. How do I get the trapped cd out of the player when it's not hooked up to my car? The cd player is a Sony CDX-L510X.

Temporarily swap players, eject then swap back. This is easy enough with ISO connectors as found on virtually all cars for the last 10 years or more.
Otherwise, ask a local repair shop to get the disk out.
