Es300 Stereo Problem

[Tribeguy95]

I just replaced the glove box CD Changer in my 99 ES300 (with another from a 99 ES) and it seems to read the CDs, but the stereo screen just shows the disc number without any track length or actual sound. Eventually it ends up reading ERR 1. Any ideas?

Thanks

Tribeguy95,

Two things come to mind. One, that you may be using CD's that you've burned yourself rather than commercially made CD's, and the unit may not be of a type to be able to read burned CD's. Two, the laser head in the CD unit may need to be cleaned in order to read the CD info. Commercially available cleaning discs are fairly cheap to buy, and just might solve your problem. If this doesn't cure your problem, it may require an audio service tech to get to the bottom of your difficulty. Good Luck!
