Hey thanks for the feedback.  Appreciate it.  I had to read it twice to make sure I understood your message correctly, as at first I couldnt imagine sticking a knife into the CD slot.   But, I get the concept - and will give it a go this weekend.  It beats heading to after market radio shop to buy/install a new one, if this works.  Fingers crossed.

I have an Error Code 3 - which indicates that the CD player is not working properly.  The CD will not eject nor play.  I can't see the CD to try to pull it out.   Lexus wants $125 to diagnose challenge indicating if it is not a stuck CD that they can easily pull out that a refurbished CD player will cost $900.  I Googled repairing CD myself -- but one has to pull out all sorts of other components to disable the unit.  A nightmare process.

QUESTIONS:

1.  Anyone have similar challenge and how did you resolve?

2.  Has anyone replaced successfully this radio unit with aftermarket radio?  If so, which one do you recommend?

I have the premium radio with Mark Levison sound system 2006.

MAHALO
