CD problems

[flyboy80]

Hi Guy,

Anyone know how to check to see if I 've got any cd's stuck in the autoloader ?

I keep getting an err3 message which indicates a cd is stuck. I mangage to pull the unit out, where should I take a back off to check ? Local dealer quoted £350 to take unit out and send off to repairer, £350 to check it out is a bit steep !!!! And on top of that no sounds for ages !!! previous threads have said it is possible....

so near and yet so far !! - sorry forgot to mention, Altezza import with cd loader at the bottom

We're a few to have experienced the same problem, especially on the bottom CD loader, my Lex dealer replaced it under garanty on my past IS200.

Maybe that's why they decided to change the whole unit…

I've got a Y-reg IS200 Sport and had exactly the same problem. If you are getting an error message like this, it's likely the CD is stuck. Seems like a fairly common problem on the older stereos :(

i had the ERR3 message also but i had mine changed under warranty. While it was out i had a llok at the unit and each end of the access plates were under each other which means that you would have to take the whole thing apart = 20 pieces.

the company that repairs them is a place called Auto Sound.

Mine is currently at the dealers being repaired. They're not going to replace the unit as it's now on an extended warrantee. Apparently 7-10 days ..

Having trouble without any tunes although it has made me realise how solid and together the car is. I only hear the engine ... no other sounds...:smilegrin:

Sorry, forgot to mention, I was getting the Err3.

:tumble: YOU CAN RESET THE CD PLAYER AND CAUSE A REBOOT OF THE THING AT THE SAME TIME BY REMOVING THE FUSE MARKED RADIO1 IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE BONNET. THE RADIO PRESETS SHOULD REMAIN AND THE CD PLAYER WILL PERFORM A REBOOT AFTER WHICH ALL SHOULD BE OK.

Your car s probably the old spec. My old S had the same problem. In the new-spec model it works fine. :smug:

This information is Absolute GOLD I have searched everywhere to find a breakers around SE London with an IS200 Headunit but after removing the fuse and placing it back in the CD player ejected my "stuck" CDs!!! Absolute Top Draw!!! :D
