Audio Systems/4Runner CD error #3

Question
Ernesto,
I own a 2005 4 Runner LTD with a JBL 6 CD changer/cassette/radio unit. I believe the model # is 56836 (very small print!). The CD player quit working and it shows an error #3. It still accepts & ejects CD's but will not play. It doesn't matter which or how many slots are filled. I talked to the dealer and they tell me it either has to be removed and sent to California for several weeks or purchase a new one, both options are well over $300. I would appreciate any help or ideas you can provide.
Regards,
Steve

Answer
the radio is stuck inside  one of the trays and most likely the laser head
that is the reason why is not reading any cd and giving the error

radio needs to be repair  most local car audio electronics shops can do that
toyota sales a rebuild radio and that price is about right
or you can call oemautosound.com  they carry rebuild radios for toyota

good luck
