Question
Ernesto,
I have a 2002 Lexus ES300 with a Mark Levinson stereo. The CD player is not working. When i push DISK, it shows there are 6 CD's in it and it shows the message "ERROR 3". When I push buttons to switch up or down 1 disc, it does nothing. When I push the Eject button, it switches immediately to the radio. When I push the Load button, it tells me that it is full - 6 CD's. The Lexus dealer said they will take it out and send it to Mark Levinson for repair and the absolute minimum charge from Levinson will be $200 but could be ????  What do you suggest? Are there car audio repair shops who may be able to deal with it ?

Answer
radio needs to be repair there is nothing you can do to fix this
but i know this  the dealer will charge you $200.00 to send  it out this money is for them and it is their profit

they will send the radio to UNITED RADIO for the repair you are looking at 600.00 to 700.00
is better for you to call them and ship the radio to save money
don't go to the dealer
