96 LS Nakamichi Problem
Hi There...
I just picked up a 96 LS. It's a great car...The 6 disc changer is giving me problems. It won't play CD's. It goes through the process of looking for CD's in the magazine when I load the magazine into the changer, but then it won't play a CD and eventually gives me ERROR 21 on the display.
1) Anyone have experience with this?
2) Any idea what this code means or how to find out what it means?
3) Any suggestions?
I'm calling the dealer tomorrow to find out how bad it's gonna be...I'm guessing I'll be better off to spend the money on an Ipod instead of getting it fixed and play the tunes via the FM tuner...
Thanks!
Patrick

Hey Whale,
I had the same problem with my LS 98” when I first bought it couple months ago. I thought the CD changer was not working, most of the time when fixing a problem it’s always the little things that make a difference.
Solution: The CD is loaded incorrectly, flip the CD around!!

Also, does anyone have any instructions for removing the changer?? Would that be in a LS repair manual from an auto parts store?

this is a common problem in our cars, go check old posts (via the lovely SEARCH button in the top left) in this forum and the audio/electronics forum.
