2004 RX330 Cd Error 4, How To Remove Cds? by lexluthor
Nov 08, 2009 (12:00 pm)
Reply
I'm getting CD Error 4 on my 2004 RX330. It happened once in a while and sometimes came back after turning the car off and back on. Now, it's stuck as Error 4.
 
What are some things I can try to get this working again?
 
Are there instructions anywhere for a manual eject?
 
If there's really nothing I can do, can I at least get at the CD holder to remove my CDs? How hard is it to get in there?
 
I'm not really looking to get it fixed (I saw on here that Lexus wants $800 or something) and I'm not even looking to put in a 3rd party CD player. I can live without the CDs for now, I just want to get my CDs out and maybe just try a few things that might have some sort of chance at getting this working again.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks!

Check the How to Remove a Stuck CD guide.
 
One CarSpace member got rid of an ERR message by cleaning the lens and demagnetizing the head.

Rear wiper, replacement? by easypar

Back a few years ago I was one of the ones posting here about the rear wiper not clearing very well, missing the top 3" or so. My dealer had replaced my blade (maybe arm too, not sure) and it had been OK. Now we live in snow country and I wanted to replace my blade so I bought a new Anco at the parts house and went to install it but the arm is kind of a non-standard. None of the adaptor clips in the blade package helped.
 
I hate to replace the arm but I guess that's my next step. Any other ideas or am I just too dumb to figure out the blade.
 
Thankd

'05 RX330 Gas Filler Issue? by rockymtn330

Just bought a used 2005 RX330. Went to fill-up w/ gas the first time & noticed when putting the gas pump nozzle in, there was no little spring-loaded "door" to get the nozzle past. Is this normal? Every car I've ever owned had a "little door" in the filler area to push the gas nozzle through before pumping. And if this is missing, is it probably sitting in my fuel tank? Thanks!

I only have about 3 weeks left of my warranty. I bought this car used at a Lexus dealer. It was 2 years old with $59,000, so I got a good deal because of the mileage. I put so little miles on it it only has $79,000 now.
When I bought it it had a bad headlamp with water in it. I insisted that it be taken care of before I purchased it as well as take care of the chips and dings in the car. Neither were taken care of but I was promised it would be taken care of with my warranty and Lexus would not do it before I bought it. Luckily they changed the headlamp without out too much hassle but the would do nothing about the chips. Mine isn't too bad anyway so I can live with it.
My problem since day one is a whistling on the top of the drivers door. The molding
"sticks" to the windows. To the point in the summer time (when I don't use the windows much) they pull hard and "pop" to wind them down. You can see a line of black rubber on both front windows. I've had it in 5 times in 3 years to fix it. But they always say they reconditioned the seal and I shouldn't have any problem. It is never fixed. From the moment I get it back I can still hear the whistling noise. It is at the top back corner of the drivers door so it is right in your ear. Anyway, has anyone had this problem and if so what did they do to fix it.
Like I said I only have 3 weeks to get all fixed.
The only other problem is in the winter time (and one time in the summer) my nav system would not come on. It kept saying something like "Error code 3 (or whatever it was I don't remember)" and it would not come up. This has happened several times with the nav system. Is this something that would be covered by warranty? I have never taken it in for that as it is so sparatic.
I'm considering keeping this car as I love it and have had very little problem with it. Replaced one battery but that wasn't a big deal.
I'm looking at buying a 3rd party extended warranty (my boss owns a used car lot so I'm confident I'm not being ripped off).
I'm just a little scared of repair costs as our financial status has changed drastically since buying the car. I can't afford very expensive repairs now. But as I said it has been a good car except for thos few minor problems.
My only other thought is to buy a new 2010 Ford Edge but money wise I wouldn't be saving much on the monthly payment, but i would have a warranty. Just not the quality and build of the Lexus.
Any advice would be very much appreciated!
Nancy
