Before you get to using a screwdriver on it you might want to try a small pair of pliers or some strong tweezers.
We fit SD card connectors to our equipment at work and if the latching mechanism fails you can always slide the card out quite easily.
On the ones I've seen returned for repair the most common cause for failure is a foreign body inside the slot. Or a section of a cheap SD card has become detached and has wedged itself in there.
Getting any foreign object out might be difficult though.
Once the SD card is out you could get a can of compressed air (RS Components/Farnell) and use that to blow it out, if it's not wedged in too tight.
If that fails it'll have to be removed and taken apart

That's what I thought as well - it might depend on how old the car is but it's definitely not an SD slot on my 2008 GT.

According to the manual on mine it's a SIM card adaptor and it has an ejector button immediately above it. Funny thing. I'd also assumed it was an SD card slot. It's about the right size.

Pin ejector immediately above should free it immediately without any persuasion, but if it's wedged tight then I'd go delicately with some fine nosed pliers... rather than persevere with the ejector button..
You'll be relieved to know that this rather quaint feature is still alive and well on the later cars too...

It's a reassuring nod to times past. The lack of a cassette player is a perpetual disappointment.

One wonders whether English Heritage have taken an interest and now listed it as Period detail.....

Perhaps we should get our cars listed. The wattle and daub is a rare touch these days.
The main issue with the BT in my experience is the quality of the mic or rather lack of it. Worst car I own.

Agree but also find that my phone only connects about 80% of the time
