Hey CL's,

This is my third lexus (LS400, SC400 now GS300)...that has had the same issue with the CD stacker freezing and an ERR output on the head unit.

I went to Lexus and they told me i was out of luck...nakamichi is no longer!

Is there an easy fix or something to look at first before chucking?

I can't be the only one Plagued with "ERR"!?

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR,

 

i get that error when I try to play cd's in a format that is not readable, such as mp3 or when i just didn't push in the cartridge in enough. Oh ya, and once after I disconnected my battery while a CD was playing.

 

Thanks LeXusFiTs...

I will try wiggling / pushing in the cartridge tomorrow morn.

It seems to only happen when listening to a CD for a bout 30 mins...if i switch to a diff CD it will work for a bit but then throw the error again.

Anybody else have a similiar issue and find a fix?

 

anybody??

tuff with no tunes...

 

Mine went, i got a used cd changer off ebay.mine kept throwing error,after that the cartrige got stock..ive yet to pull it apart (maybe its just a cartridge issue)

 

Thanks Brother CL,

yeah, could be a cartridge issue but i have had 3 vehicles and all 3 have done the same thing. I must be ERR cursed!

How much did the changer cost ya?

Thanks again,

 

Mine got the err and the cartridge was stuck, ended up just taking it apart to get the cartridge out and it's been working like normal since. Not sure what caused it to get stuck to begin with though.

 

i picked up the changer for 75$ off ebay.. but id try to take apart the changer and get the cartridge out first..and if it still doesnt work.. look for a used one.

 

ive had this problem with both of my GS's my first gen and my second Gen, it sucks in a big way. in my first one i put an aftermarket CD changer and player in the trunk directly on top of the old one haha, but dont worry your not the only one. sorry man

 

I suggest hacking your cd changer to have an aux input! check the audio section.

 

That thread scrambled my brain...thanks for making me feel stupid!
