hey, I have a '99 Maxima with the factory stereo, when I try to play a cd it reads CD ERR, can this problem be fixed, or can I just buy a clarion cd changer and add it on without using the fm radio, or do i just have to buy a new stereo. please thanks

 

Is it doing this when you try to play ANY CDs, both store-bought & burned ones? Have you tried a CD lens cleaner yet?

Check these possibilities before you go ripping it out for a new one...

 

I have a 1997 Maxima and my CD player gave me the ERR message about a year ago. I have been driving around without a CD player for over a year now. It sucks.

There is a company with a web site that fixes Nissan CD Players. I think they charge $150-200 to fix the CD "ERR" problem.

I'm thinking about ripping out the factory system and installing one with an MP3 player.

Check out this place:

They describe the "ERR" problem and give the cost to fix it. They also have a nifty description on how to remove the OEM stereo from the dash board.

 

Wow! For that kind of money, get yourself one of these: cd/mp3

 

it does it with new and burned cd's. the cd cleaner works but after you clean it, it still says cd err when you try to play a cd.

 

You are probably going to have to either replace the hu or send it off to get fixed. My bose Hu has been doing this for the last 2 months, my new Kenwood hu should be here any day.

 

Im thinking about putting in a tv in the dash, so thats where the $150-$300 is going to go to. thanks for the info though.

 

damn mine just started doing this today in my 96', it does it with both burned and regular cd's... can anyone recommend a good cleaner and place to get it for?? thanks
