What does it mean when your CD changer says error 3?
You need a new headunit (unless you never want to use CD’s again). You can try pulling the radio fuse for several minutes (or just disconnect the positive battery cable) and trying to see if it resets, but error 3 means the changer mechanism is jammed.
What does error 3 CD changer do on Toyota Corolla?
I had the dreaded ” Error 3 ” with my 6 disc OEM radio unit (back in 2008) in my 05 Corolla LE. For me, I was able to get the disc to eject by sliding in an old credit card into the slot and working the tray up or down until it kicked in while pressing the Eject button.
What to do if your CD is stuck in your CD changer?
Once the stuck CD is dislodged you should be able to reassemble the radio/cd deck back into the dash and eject the rest of the CD’s in the disc changer. I’ve had my Matrix ‘05 for 14 years.
What to do if your CD player won’t play?
Your best bet is to get an aftermarket headunit, mounting kit, and wiring harness. You will get a much better radio, the ability to play MP3 CD’s, and usually an auxiliary input. Some also have a USB port to just plug in a flash drive with your music on it. I have had that same exact problem on my 2005 before.
