The life of a Genuine Toyota CD Player. Options

[tomazws]

First of here's the spec: 94~97, double-din, top CD, bottom casette/radio, Non-JBL.


Mine stopped working, kept reporting "ERROR". K, no sweat, so I got an identical one from eBay for like $25 or some ****, nope. Same "ERROR" message while trying to play the CD... Aite, let's keep it genuine, get ANOTHER one. This ****ing **** ass player still reports "ERROR".

W... T... F... !?!?!?


All 3 players, radio works, looks great, don't know if casette works or not... but all of the, reading legit/burnt/enhanced/regular/gold CDs would report "ERROR".

Please help. I'd really like to stick with stock radio.

i know that newer toyotas don't use the security protection code that some of ours have. when i went to get mine unlocked, the dealer said the newer ones don't even have it because it gives toyota more work to have to unlock every stereo that gets unplugged or sold to somebody else.

anyway, it's pretty odd the way you'd get an error message after switching between stereos and CDs.. ever check the manual? it has some stereo troubleshooting tips as far as i can remember.. not sure if it would solve your problem but it's worth a try.
