CD stuck in the changer
All - One of the CD got stuck in the CD changer, it would neither eject nor read, getting a "DVD error" message. I know there are some DIY videos in youtube, I don't think I can manage. Anyone know how much dealership would charge?
Dealer will just replace it at full cost! Check out eBay/craigslist repairers or United radio (also pretty expensive) or google your problem with the is250 - it's happened a lot with those cars and there are a couple of quick diy fixes to try first.

I was able to get a stuck CD out of my LS430 changer by taking some double stick tape and covering both sides of a business card with it; then fishing around in there when I hit the eject button. Might be worth a try.

It worked
Thanks for the tip, it worked. However as I kept trying this without the engine running and ended up draining and damaging the battery....
