Summary: We study the validity of the Blackadar-Kirchberg conjecture for extensions of separable, nuclear, quasidiagonal $C^*$-algebras that satisfy the UCT. More specifically, we show that the conjecture for the extension has an affirmative answer if the ideal lies in a class of $C^*$-algebras that is closed under local approximations and contains all separable ASH-algebras, as well as certain classes of simple, unital $C^*$-algebras and crossed products of unital $C^*$-algebras with $\mathbb{Z}$.
