I think i asked this before but i didnt get a response, and i cant find the topic again cuz it was awhile ago, so i made a new thread.

I gotta stock Toyota 3 disc cd changer with my car. It hasnt worked for the past couple monthes. I'll stick the cartridge in there and it'll make a whirring sound and go through the cd's and wont play anything. I wanna know if anybody here is having similar problems. Can anybody that works for Toyota help me out? I REALLY REALLY miss my cd player and i dont wanna bring it to the dealer to get it fixed, and i dont have the cash on me right now to buy a new head unit.

I don't work for Toyota or anything, but did you check the laser unit to see if it works, or if it's free of dust particles? Maybe it needs to be calibrated?

i dont have that, but yeah try cleaning or taking it to a shop to get it cleaned, shouldnt cost too much. that might be the problem.

how do i clean it?
