yep

If you want to get serious and have 750.00 to spend, this might be a good deal. Look at part II, the Alpine system. http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=16046

The other solution is:

On a serious note-- Try disconnecting the battery for at least an "hour", and then re-connect and try it again.

The other solution is:

I hate to say it, but Riff Raff is sort of right. Give the player a good tap and power it up again. It *might* work. It worked for me, at least.

Once the CD is ejected, eject the rest of the player. Start looking, now, for a cubby hole to replace it.

In general, these seem to mean that the elevator was unable to position a disk for playing. The plastic screwjacks that move the mechanism seem to wear out and eventually, the player will be unable to switch disks. If you begin to have problems, consider ejecting all your disks immediatly.

You might have luck with pushing EJECT while thumping the player on the right-hand side. No kidding.

Once you have extracted all your disks, the player may still work, so long as you avoid changing disks. The best recommendation is to change to an aftermarket stereo.

If you are completely unable to eject your CDs, you may still be able to extract them by taking the changer apart.

1> Bang on side while pressing eject and Cd slot buttons.
2> Alternatively turn ignition on and off while doing #1
3> Remove player from holder, turn it upside down.. still connected to power bang a bit and press eject numerous times.

These are the ways I was able to conquer the err 3 on my player.

Then you replaced it, right?

Usually when this kind of situations happens you ended up opening the changer to get the CD out.
This happens when the changer's synch system get meesed up,mostly because of a broken gear or one of the rubber belts worn to the point it is slacky or even burst
