My CD player in my 2000 RX suddenly stopped working and shows an error code. Is this common and any quick fix? HELP!!!

this may sound retarded and all,but try disconnecting the negative battery terminal for about 10 min. seems to clear up electronic issues such as this on the rx.hey,it`s worth a try anyway.nothing ventured,nothing gained. if that doesn`t work,let us know.

Is there a stuck cd?

If you self burnt cd's try not to load more than 1 or 2 in the magazine. Also labels are a big No NO.

I would start looking for a used (working cd player) at this stage.

I agree. It will be less expensive to buy a used working one than trying to get it repaired. eBay comes to mind as a source.

Welcome to the Club.

What is the code you are getting?

oacjuly

It said Err1 Guess I'm going to try unhooking the battery

OK well the battery thing didn't work so next stop EBay

There seems to be a glut of them up on eBay right now. That indicates to me that they don't fail that often. Either that, or there are a lot of RX300's being junked.

When vehicle is old 6yrs plus, it may be lot more profitable to sell parts instead of the whole old beast.

Enough of RX's were sold and now there should be enough to part out. The only down side is that you do not know how extensive the cd player was used.

Err1 is that there is either a dirty disc/disc that can't be read, translated means if two cds didn't work, trying running a cd cleaner through the system.

I ordered a replacement cd changer on EBay now I need some help to replace it. Any tips? Thanks in advance...

Do you know how to change the cabin air filter? Getting to that point is the start. I removed the panel that includes the glove box last year, and I think that exposes everything.
