Question
Hi im having problemz with my car stereo.I have a 2000 toyota camry and the stereo that it has it came with the car but for the past 2 days the radio i can listen to but if i put a cd in it doesnt work, it spits the cd rite out after like 8 seconds. I need help figuring out if the cd player is not going to work at all or if its a specific problem that i need to fix???
HI Tiffany,
The problem is either dirt or a lump of grott in the CD head unit and the laser cannot read the track zero index so it spits it out again, try a cleaning disc or you will have to remove the unit, take the top of and clean if by BLOWING, do NOT poke anything or you will end up with misalignment the head.
