It was not working when I bought the car, and I did not expect a warranty with a 17 year old car. I have previously removed the unit and taken the covers off the cd changer. I could not see anything broken but then again I don't know what to look for.

There is an identical unit on eBay but I have now found that the fuel tank is leaking so spending on a cd changer will have to wait. I think a leak-free fuel tank is more important !

Thank you for that. I have just banged it whilst holding the eject button. No joy. I have no cd's stuck inside; I have previously opened it up to check the mechanism inside.

I have already looked on youtube but I couldn't find anything to fit my circumstances. If you have found something that I missed i would be grateful if you would tell me which article it is.

I have just realised that this post should have been in the LS forum. Can someone move it over, please? Sorry for the trouble.

I have a 2002 LS430 with a Mark Levinson audio system. Since I bought the car a few weeks ago the cd changer has not worked. When I press the "load" button there is a whirring noise inside but the flap will not open to allow me to insert a cd. The screen displays "cd error". The radio and tape deck work normally.

I have searched these forums but there is nothing covering my situation. I have disconnected the car Battery but that had no effect.

I have taken the cd changer out and looked inside it but I can't see anything amiss (not that I am an expert). The cd drawers move up and down when a power source is connected.

1. Can anyone suggest anything else I could check?

2. If it has to be replaced I don't need a top quality cd changer. Is it possible to get one that I can just plug in and play, or is the setup more complicated than that?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

I have recently joined and wanted to say hello.

I have just bought a 2002 Lexus LS430 and I am enjoying the comfort. The car has done 140k and feels like it is just run in.

I have already learned quite a bit from the forum and I will do my own maintenance and repairs as far as possible. If I come across an easy way of doing a job I will post details to help others.
