Sal's Dad Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I posted this question on the electronics forum, but there's not much activity there... 2000 ES300, glove box mounted CD changer, 6 CD cartridge. Cartridge got stuck. I removed player from glove box, and front cover from player. Wound up forcibly prying the cartridge out (my wife had put 6 new CD's in, and wanted them out NOW!) Turns out cd slides were put in crooked. :whistles: CD changer now appears dead - no play, no eject. Is there hope? Or do I go off to Best Buy to get a replacement? I assume dealer isn't the first option. Any suggestions are welcome! Sal's Dad :chairshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbhrps Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Sal's Dad, Sorry for your headaches, but I agree that the dealership is not the route to go. In your spot I'd search eBay Motors or try to locate a wrecking yard with a usable CD unit still intact. It would be much more reasonable dollar wise. Good Luck!

Sal's Dad Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 Thanks - I am open to any suggestions, and will look on ebay! Is this a standard unit, or a Toyota-specific model? (I think the label says Pioneer) DCFish, I received your earlier note, but you didn't provide an email, so have no way to contact you!
