    Look at what I found at a junk yard!

    I was hitting some locale "U PULL IT" salvage/junk yards looking for some parts to a firebird,but when I'm there I always check the troopers,Rodeo,Passport as the inventory is always changing.

    And I'll be damned if there wasn't a 6 disc cd changer that wasn't pulled.
    I asked to use there battery and checked to see if it worked and it did!
    The radio was beat to hell n back but the CD changer was in awsome condition!
    They sold it to me for 20$
    I pulled it out of a trooper...I think...can't remember,sorry

    Definitely a nice score for $20. Doesn't look like it's ever even been used.

    Seriously, I'd guess at least 50% or more of folks on this forum have said theirs got jammed and/or ate CDs, and throws error code ERR03, and that will mean it's toast. Maybe start burning copies of any valuable CDs you might want to play.
    I put a cubby box in it's placeā€¦great place for my ipod, much better use of that space IMHO.

    Nice score for $20. I am looking forward to installing a cubby hole where my dead one is. I have a aftermarket stereo now.

    You know we've had three Vx's, and never a problem with one of those Fujitsu CD players.
