I took a chance this morning and went to Best Buy and bought a Maxell 340 CD Lens Cleaner. I put it in tray #1. At first, it too gave the Err message. I kept turning it on and off and after maybe 10 tries, the cleaner CD began to play! I ran the cleaning track twice and then tried to load the next CD...damn Err again. Went back to cleaner CD and ran the cleaning track twice for two minutes, until the annoying high pitched tone stopped. I again tried to load a music CD and IT PLAYED. It's been playing most of the day...I keep going out to check it. Hopefully it's fixed. I was dreading buying a new head unit since I love the OEM stereo and wanted to keep car original.

Guys, Had my fairly pristine 93 GS 121k miles, for about 3 weeks now and it's a great ride. The car didn't have a CD cartridge when I bought and the previous (and only other) owner was a "talk Radio" listener and said he hadn't seen the cartridge in years. Today I bought a new 12 disk cartridge magazine, loaded several CDs (not burned CD-R type) and it went through its load procedure and then nothing. After a few minutes, it showed the disk #, and then I got "Err" display. It would let me change disks, but none would play?? Does this mean the player is bad? What options do I have. I've used the search, but no conclusive answers. Thanks for the help.

I am a total newbie to this forum and today was my first day driving any Lexus. I have been a BMW driver for more than 12 years. Recently, my 1991 535i w/208k miles, was rear-ended and totalled. It was a great car I'd had since 1997. I found a one owner GS w/118k on the clock, impeccable records, and very clean. It actually belonged to a middle aged professional guy. It's a total different driving experience than the 535. I like it, but am uncertain if it is better. I had a performance chip in the bimmer and a K&N drop in. It was very fast for an auto trans car. Meanwhile...looking for answers... • Previous owner had oil changed at a Valvoline quick change with dino 10w30. I'm in San Antonio (plenty warm here) and I used Mobil 1 15w50 in the bimmer. What do you guys suggest for the GS 300 in this climate. I will be using Mobil 1, just uncertain of weight to use. • Brakes squeal a good bit but look good and perform well...is this characteristic of this car? • Maintenance indicates timing belt changes at just over 100k along with a lot of other work at local dealership, so I assume I've got about 40k miles to go before worrying about this. Sure I'll have other questions in the near future. Thanks for your help!
