Advice Please!

Hi all!

I'm new on here but wondered if any of you could help me. I have had my IS200 for 6 months now, but yesterday my 6 CD multi changer packed up. All I get now is ERR3 message and can't retrieve or insert disks.

Spoke to Lexus and they've said, as it's now out of warranty, it'll cost me £1000!

If I'm going to spend that sort of money is there anything else I could have fitted into that part of the dash - Sat Nav + Cd etc? Or do I just stump up a grand and smile?

Thanks

Keep you eye on eBay, they come up pretty often

Cheers Steve, I have been looking on eBay but just wary of buying another dud!

Are there any upgrades or anything else that can be fitted into the dash?

I think quite a few people have changed to aftermarket ones, best bet is to browse through the garage and see if people have listed them in there, then pm the person about it

come to think about it, if people have swapped over to aftermarket, what have they all done with their originals

Will do! Cheers for the advice!

I had the same problem - ERR3 on the display, wouldn't play or eject discs. I removed the fuse marked RAD no 1 (in the fusebox in the engine bay) and then replaced it. The CD changer then cycled through all the discs in the changer and I was able to eject them. If you have jammed two discs in the one slot in the magazine this may not work, though. I was getting ERR3 because of a duff CD (shop bought - not a CD-R or CD-RW).

Brilliant! Just removed that fuse, put it back in and it all seems to be working - cheers!! Is yours now ok to play cds again?

Thanks again!
