Default Cd player not loading

08 GS350 AWD NAVI and Backup camera. The CD player, Cig lighter, doors sills (If they light up), all do not work. I just purchased this car used. The radio and everything else works fine just cd player will not load up or eject.

I have checked all the fuses and all are good in, I checked all 3 fuse box's. What I haven't done was disconnect the battery

either that or maybe something came loose in the back of the navi unit. Did you install a iPod unit.

No, I just purchased the car used. So it is possible! Is it a pain taking off the radio?

I fixed the cig lighter, now my only problem is the CD player not loading nor unloading. Ive tried reseting, tried un plugging the battery nothing.

I have checked all the fuses there all good. I'm stumped im thinking maybe something internal is messed up. I may just tear it open to see whats going on, maybe its a stuck cd. But even on the navi screen it doesnt say CD when I press on the button.

mine did this too, I thought maybe it was related to my mediabridge installation, but I just sold the lexus and while removing the mediabridge, I double checked everything, couldn't find any loose connections and the actual disc changer has no connections on it, it's the unit below only.

sorry I can't help.....but I never used the cd player since I had the media bridge......wanna buy a used mediabridge?
