How old is your car ? top loading cd ?

Not sure matey try re-setting the ECU.

[aztecbandit1]

not 100% sure mate but think the error 1 code comes up when its a read error on the unit? can you get the disc's out of the unit? if not try and reset it by unplugging the power to it and try it again before you bolt it all back in and see what happens?

[FuntimePhil]

cd's go in and out fine, just dont play, thinks about it then the error1 comes up. how do i reset the ecu?

[Y2Kanjar]

upgrade to a after market one....if you don't have a sports model

[FuntimePhil]

nah i like the oem one, i dont wanna change the look too much. there must be a way

it sounds like a read error mate but not sure if you can use a cd cleaner in the unit to clean the laser, there was a post on here somewhere where one of the members took the top off the player and cleaned it by hand using cotton buds? are you using original cd's??

Under the bonnet take out the ECTS and EFI fuses for around 30secs-1min then replace don't get themmixed up and make sure your keys are in your pocket or at least out of the ignition.

just found the topic about how Jomo fixed his error1 HERE!!

[Andy-R]

Sounds like ERR1 is a dust/dirt issue then, good to know it can be sorted not like ERR3 which killed my OEM unit and many others.

BTW Phill if you have re-set your ECU it won't do any harm :D but may not fix your stereo just trying to help with my limited knowledge

another reason i've found with the errror1 is, if you check the edges of the cd's you use some of them are quite ruff so dont run too well in the unit and causes the disc to skip/jam then spin again causing the error to come up so make sure that the discs you use have a clean edge to them :winky:

Are you sure about the ECTS and EFI fuses as it would be impossible to mix up those 2. There is a RADIO 1 fuse that could be mixed up with one of them. I tried a lens cleaner on mine and it made no difference.

The lens cleaner transformed my domestic CD. My advice on CD players is clean the lense BEFORE you go on the upgrade route as a HI FI retailer will not tell obout it for obvious reasons.

What I meant was 1's a 25amp and 1's a 15 (I think) so don't get them mixed up and put them back in each others place, taking the radio fuse out won't re-set the ECU.

Sorry Mate, I did not notice that there are 2 EFI fuses. Nevertheless I tried it but it made no difference, but it reset my clock. Thanks anyway

Thats the main reason why i got rid of the original OEM unit from my lexus, before i got the error messages. Now i can play CDs and DVDs DivX etc in the car. Plus if my after market breaksdown i can buy another and replace without too much fuss or cost.

[DJ Wozza]

Hmmmm discovered my DVD 6 Disc changer plays Divx the other day, handy that is :D
