Connect it, turn ON and upside down, shake and bump it a little bit. This is how mine came free several times

Mine came up with the dreaded "ERR3" message a couple of days ago. There were 2 discs jammed in it that wouldn't come out.

I removed the radio and undid the 2 screws on the back to lift the lid off it.

Once the lid was off i could see that one of the discs had jumped into two of the disc carriers, jamming it solid.

I carefully popped the disc back into it's own carrier, and plugged it back into the car.

It all worked fine after that.

I rang my Lexus dealer and the offered to replace it anyway.

Got my new one today ,and fitted it..... sounds bassier than the old one.

I also have an ERR 3 on my stereo. How do you remove it from the dash?

There is a guide in the workshop forum on how to remove the head unit.

Pull out the top part of the dash(bit of brut force required) then do the same where the h/seat/TRC/snow buttons are this will expose all bolts top/bottom (4 i think).....VOILA!!! then pull out gently,be careful not to scratch tne surround of the dash,the unplug.

I have a Lexus is200 year 2000 in Sweden with 110000 km on the meter. After radio stopped getting signals and Err3 occurring on the CD Lexus replaced it for a new one. The 5 year extended guarantee for the Audio kicked in!

It would have cost me SEK 13 500/GBP 1000 to fix, plus work. But they replaced it for free.

I want to remove mine but find the pull out the top part of the dash a bit vague.

Where do you grab hold of and what happens to the heating dials?
