navigator12345 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hi, LS400, 1993, CD Changer, Pioneer. Is an error msg on pioneerCD reader a common problem? I have been getting an error msg ERR when I turn on the CD player. It may work after a while. I have to keep pushing buttons like CD or Track buttons until it starts to work. It keeps getting worse. I am thinking the head maybe dirty, because it works sometimes and it keeps getting worse. Maybe disk cleaner kits could fix it? Any help would be appreciated. Has anyone done a total replacement of dash and cd changer to a more modern one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFeldes Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Are these original cd's or copies? Pioneer does not seem to like copies, is why I asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually happens with both original and copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFeldes Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Try typing in "pioneer" in the "search topic" at the bottom or maybe try lexls.com and try his tutorials on audio. He's a great provider of input on this forum. Don't forget to send a donation to him, if he helps you, as it is almost Christmas and he deserves our monetary "input". There are also a couple of other Pioneer Gurus on this site and hopefully, they will chime in and help you. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc211 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I do not disagree with this information. But in my 95, my lexus cd changer actually plays everything, including copies that are not in the best of shape "scratches" flawlessly! It actually plays CDs better than my home based Sony...of which won't play a copy at all "1994 model". But, on my dealership history report on my car, the previous owner had "radio" work done back in 03'. It's very obvious he had the LCD problem and the dealer replaced the radio, as it's much brighter at night than the air module. Maybe when they fixed whatever the problem was, they upgraded something in there too that made the changer work sooooo well. I'm not 100% sure the previous owner did not have all the speakers replaced too, as I find it strange a 10+ year old car still has it's original speakers, and none of them are even slightly damaged. They sound brand new! Are these original cd's or copies? Pioneer does not seem to like copies, is why I asked. ← Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akewlguy Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Same problem here. Its random, but often. I am bringing the LS to a shop to get a checkup on the whole Knimachieooo system (or what ever the hell it is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexusnutt Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I had the same problem right after I bought my '95 ls400 from a private party. After 10 years, it usually will need to be refurbished. I sent mine to radiomanrepair.com and after 2 weeks got it back and worked great! (1 yr. warranty also.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nc211 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 In my last car, 2001 Maxima, on those cold morning the CD player would not read the disc either. when I ejected the CD, I noticed a small later of fog on it. I simply cleaned the CD, put it back in, and it played fine. Maybe it's the condensation on the disc??? I also have the Pioneer 6 Disc in my 93 LS - I have noticed this issue arises when it cold outside.

akewlguy Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Ripped apart the cd changer to the bare circuit boards. Hopeful we could find how to fix or replace broken parts. We need to figure this out to save 300 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzHotLS Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 do a search for "dcfish" his is the resident cd changer expert. I bought a refirbed cd changer and sub from him and have been very pleased. I too notice that my "new" cdchanger doesn't like to play as well when it's cold, later in the day when it's warmer, it plays fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
