RX350 - CD Changer Error Message 3
I am unable to eject a CD and Error Message 3 appears. The system tries to eject making a mechanical noise, but then stops. Can anyone please advise how to resolve this? Thanks.

I had the same thing happen to me last week...
What i tried was to turn it off...and then change CDs and then let it start playing a song and then change it back to the Cd that had the error. Then it worked just fine.
Did you have an error on CD 6?

No TSB's on this. Take it to the dealer.

I also got the Error 3 message on my "1 1/2 month old" 2008 RX350 cd player. I've used the CD player once! I took my car to the dealership yesterday and they have to order a new one for me. It won't eject 2 or my CD's either. They have to send the broken unit to Alpine and then send me my CD's once they get them out of the player. I will get a brand new, and not refurbished, CD player. But it still sucks that a brand new car would have to have the CD player replaced.

the problem is the type of CDs. My 2004 has never had this problem, and i put anything and everything in there.
however, they must have changed something. The new one doesnt like burned cds, nor rewritable cds either. be careful.

I see this ending up in a TSB, too many complaints we are hearing about...

I was just about to complain about the very same thing...

Hello,
I have a 04 and i'm having the same problem. First, I received an ERROR 4 message and that went away. Then number 6 disk slot stop working. And now it's giving me an ERROR 3 and I can't get my Cd's out or put any in. So, from what i'm reading I guess I have to take it to the dealer. :-(

In the end I sent my cd player out for repair. It was a Pioneer unit in my04 RX.

If its such a common noted problem why won't Lexus step up to the plate and issue a TSIB?
