How To Get Rid Of Error1

[Solhatt]

Hi guys made a quick guide on how to clean the head unit lens (IZZY asked nicely for info) :)

It might remove error1.

Guide can be found here along with instructions on how to replace bulbs in trc panel and a suggestion on where to install grom audio adapter: http://www.klementiner.com/2009/12/08/gett...-head-unit.html

Edit: fixed post

And guide is here as well:

Part 1 – Getting the head unit out of your dash:

First you can start by ejecting your cds. Then use some tape to avoid scratches when you start disassembling the dash.

Use a screwdriver in the middle to bend up the ”place your celly here thingy”. This will make it a lot easier to get it off.

Now get a second screwdriver and pop it off like this.

*pop* There should be some screws here but somehow they where missing. (1) Insert your fingers here and give it a quick and hard pull towards you and it will come off. Now throw the center-console top in the backseat

Now get a good grip under the Heated seat/trc panel. If you can’t do it with one hand try using both. Use tape to avoid scratches! The wires are short so its easy to get scratches when you are trying to unplug the panel.

Now unplug the wires from the trc panel and throw it in the backseat. Unscrew the four bolts that holds the head unit in place. Theres 2 on the top an 2 on the bottom. Tape to avoid scratches when unplugging head unit!!

(1) Unplug the air condition unit first, then unplug the (2)antenna (just pull it out) and finally unplug the the (3)stereo. Hold it as still as possible to avoid scratches!

Part 2 – Cleaning the cd player lens:

(1) Unscrew the two screws and open the cd player.

Damn! No comment! -_-”

5 minutes later… This is what you see when you open the cd player. The lens is hidden nicely under a bunch of metal. Now its time to get back in the car along with your cd player.

Plug the power cable into the cd player and wait until the lens comes out and then unplug the cd player. There it is!

Now make it shine. Isopropyl and a cotton ear bud will do the trick. Please test to see if it reads cds properly before you put it back in the dash

hi Solhatt,

when you finished connecting the Grom adapter, where exactly did you stick this? it looks as though there is a fair bit of space behind the stereo - is this the case?

also any recommendations where i can get this Grom adapter.. i would like one ASAP :-)

its up for $59.99 on the grom website which works out to be £36ish quid.. which is not bad but just wondered if anywhere else is cheaper...

thanks

Izzy

You will see where i placed it if you look at the pictures but if it's hard to see i guess i can supply you with another picture :)

And when you are placing it i believe you have to put it on the opposite side as I'm driving a RHD IS 200

GUTTED!!

[Solhatt]

Sorry to hear that...

Maybe the lens is broken? Also burning your own cds and use them may not work.

can the lense be replaced? im guessing that will have to be professionally replaced.. as the mechanisms seemed very complicated when i opened it up..

the CD's i used were original. :-S

[Solhatt]

Not even sure it's the Lens. I really don't know. Only that it have something do with reading the cds is not working.
