Cd Player Keeps On Ejecting Cd's

[Joanna762]

Hi

Has anyone had this problem? I have a 2003 Rav4 - for some reason, the CD player has started to act up: when a CD is inserted, I hear the sound of spinning for a few seconds and then the CD is ejected. An error code of ERR1 flashes up for a split second (if you blinked you wouldn't see it!) and then the display goes back to CD Load. I am using shop bought CD's and they are not dirty. I have tried a cleaning disc. I have disconnected the Battery to see if something would reset. If anyone has any idea how to solve this problem, I would be grateful! Thanks. :)

Hi Joanna and welcome to the club

Maybe it doesn't like your music

Have you tried more than one disk, try a cd you know worked before and see if that plays

Hi Joanna

I had this too just after I bought my Rav, same year. Toyota tried a cleaning disc and that didn't work so I'm afraid they had to replace the unit under warranty. Fine if yours is still under warranty, if not they are real expensive

[Joanna762]

Thanks all! I tried loads of different cd's...different kinds of music too, just in case it was being fussy! Tried cleaning it. Toyota reckon it will cost around £1,400 to replace!!!

Think I will have to listen to the radio instead...at least that works fine!

I think an Ipod or an external CD through an input would be a better bet than buying a new unit !!!

It may be worth having the unit removed and checked by an electronics engineer or such - even the slightest bit of dust or dirt internally can cause such problems.

I had a similar problem a few months back. Took the unit out had a squint inside gave it a spray with Isopropanol and cleaned the laser bulb and away it went. When cleaning you have to be careful not to damage the Laser reading heads. A few cotton buds with either a few drops of isopropanol will work OK. If mo isoprop., is available contact lense cleaning solution is gentle enough to cause no damage.:)

If I remember correctly didnt SCHM post up the fact that MR T can do repairs and posted up a price list???

found it, down the bottom of this page SCHM link

It may only be the satnav units though.

Hi Joanna, I am new to the club having just bought my daughter a 2004 Yaris. We have exactly the same problem and have tried different discs and head cleaners with no success. Did you manage to get it sorted?
