falc430 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hi all, I just bought a 2005 LS430. People at the dealership advised me to stick to “original” CDs when trying to load CDs into the in-dash CD player; otherwise, you will not be able to eject the CDs they say. Most, if not all of my CDs are in MP3 format right now, anyone can confirm what they’re saying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Oh yes. NEVER insert anything other than genuine CDs. In fact you may have issues with the player refusing to eject them. That in dash stacker is VERY picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99lsguy Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Are you saying I couldn't put a home-made CD in an 05 LS and listen to the music??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danxnguyen Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I bought a 2004 LS430 6 months ago and have been loading my "burned CDs" and so far have no problem ejecting them from the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Well thats the problem... I wouldn't put any CD in there I cared about because if it fuses then you have to have the whole unit shipped off and HOPE your CDs come back to you. Our Prius has the same CD changer used in all the Toyota/Lexus vehicles that have that single feed changer. They are *terrible*. Ours failed at 1000 miles, we got the CDs back after about a month, but I'm sure everyone isn't as lucky. The Toyota dealer had a giant box of CDs waiting to go back to their owners, the guy told me he replaces 2-3 changers a week and that burned CDs or low quality CDs can exascerbate the problem.

Jacob Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Do these CD players play MP3 files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 What actually causes the CD player not to eject the burned CD's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 The system just seizes up and the changer jams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobalvis Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Just curious, did the Cd give you an error message? My 1995 LS400 has recently refused to play and gives us an "error 23 or 24" Message. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Yeah it will give an error message and then refuse to playor eject the CDs. Your LS is a totally different player though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zube Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I THINK THE REASON IT JAMS UP THE IN DASH CHANGERS IS THICKNESS ISSUE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlisted Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I THINK THE REASON IT JAMS UP THE IN DASH CHANGERS IS THICKNESS ISSUE. ← that was really only with the older lx's and the 1st IS's , and it ate all cd's not just burned ones. 90% of my cd's are burned and have not had a problem and im on my 6 different lexus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECUPirate Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Which is thicker, original CD or CD-R? Would it help if you put a label on the CD-R to make it more 'grippy' so the feeder could handle the disk, or might that exacerbate the problem? I drove a 2003 ES300 a little while back... it had a single in-dash player plus a 6-disk cartridge player in the armrest. I had problems playing back some tracks of a burned disk while using the in-dash player. I didn't try the cd changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Sanchez Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I think it is wise to avoid stick on labels with slot loading cd players and drives. If label comes of very bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojonjo Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 My 95 LS400 never had a problem with playing "burned cd's," neither did my 01 LS430...until today. Disc 2 won't eject...it is a copied CD. (I like to make a copy of the CD's I buy to use in my car so I can keep the original pristine) I was searching this forum for a fix when I came across this link. Hope this helps, in other words...don't risk it. BTW my 95 changer had a tendency to scuff the discs...my 430 doesn't seem to do that. Anyone have a suggestion on how to get the disc out? Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcbted Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Just chiming in here ... 04 LS430, loaded with burned cd's. No issues so far, and I reload the discs about once per week. Of course, and ipod connection would eradicate this issu :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
