Hi folks

To cut a long story short, my CD changer has packed in. Does anyone know where I can get a second hand one? Or maybe an aftermarket unit that will fit?

Am really in the s**t with this one, I wanna sell my car - and theres no chance with it like this. I couldn't even get my disks out!

The last car I looked at when looking to buy a Lex had the disk changer changed and it was 900 quid!!!!

Please help folks, it's really gettin me down now. Generally I hate the car, and this is making it worse.

Hi, does it make a whirring noise when you try to eject the magazine, or is it totally lifeless? There must be a fuse in there somewhere...

Good luck

Nah, there was a clicking sound when trying to eject the magazine. When I finally got it out and stripped it apart (which are both not easy) a gear is damaged inside. It's been skipping for a while now anyway, and there's no focus on the lense. Basically, it's not Pioneer like the rest of the system. It's fujitsu, and to be honest I don't think much of it.

Im stuck!!

Now you've got the mechanism out, why don't you give it to someone in the TV/Video repair business - alot of the mechanisms use 'generic' cogs and pulleys. Maybe a long shot but its worth a try - if I was still in the trade I'd suggest you could send it to me, but I switched to computers 15 yrs ago, sorry...

I have had a similar problem and I replaced the failing cog. Unfortuneately I had no idea of the timing setup and I got nowhere with it. I eventually sent it to a place in the midlands, who fixed it for me for £100. I am in Spain for the next 2 months so I cannot get the name and address of the company but I posted it on here last year for a similar query. I got it from my Lexus dealer so ask you local one or phone Lexus Glasgow

Above is the link to the last post I made

Thanks for that, it's really good of you all to help. Will bear that one in mind. Only thing is, it's a little worse for wear now as I was having a bad day anyway, and kinda dropped it!

It's not been my week!

Anyone know an aftermarket one that will fit? I never knew how rubbish the radio was!! I normally only listen to CD's!
