Hot CD Player and CDs by springsoak
Oct 10, 2006 (11:37 am)
Reply
We have the 4-CD player as part of our nav/audio system on our TCH. The first time that we took a day-long trip, we loaded 4 CD's into the player, and it worked just fine for about an hour. Then, all of a sudden, the CD player quit playing completely. We tried choosing another of the installed CD's , but with no luck. After a while, we tried again, and the CD played for about 20-30 minutes, then quit again. When we removed the CD's from the player, they were very warm to the touch. We noticed on another Toyota chat site (Tundra's), a user had a similar problem with his 6-CD player, with the player quitting working after a while, and the CD's were also very warm when he removed them from the player. The Tundra chat indicated that there could be various error messages displayed for a CD player malfunction, including:
 
"If “WAIT” appears on the display, it indicates that the inside of the player unit may be too hot due to the very high ambient temperature. Remove the disc or magazine from the player and allow the player to cool down."
 
We didn't see any error messages on our TCH audio system, and certainly hope that the system is capable of playing CD's for more than an hour at a time.
 
Any suggestions for a solution to our problem, and has anyone else experienced the same problem?

Same inside temperature occurs in tape players. Have you ever had the tape melt in the unit?
 
It is another "concern" blown up by users on forums. The unit might be faulty, that is more likely than it being a "temperature" problem.

XM Antenna by coolrod

We picked up my wifes' new TCH with the XM dealer addon yesterday. In other posts I read that the antenna was mounted in the rear by the third brake light, but ours is on the dash in front of the passenger seat, very unobtrusively placed close to the windshield. It works very well , no different than the XM radios in our other two cars which were built-in at the factory. I don't know what the antenna looks like in other peoples TCHs, but ours is one inch long by 3/4 inch wide by 1/2 inch tall. Thats a lot smaller than in the other two cars, less than half the size. We got severely pounded by the dealer, though. $650 installed. My others cost around $300. But you don't have much choice unless you want a kid at a radio shop tearing into your new car!

OK, I'd like to try this but my dealer says it might destroy the Nav System, fry the ECU and cost me $5,000!
 
So, is your Nav System still working? Do you still disable the Motion Interlock feature?
 
Thanks,

That is a total crock - you wont hurt anything. Just don't mess with any other buttons in the screen.
 
This only works on the 5.1 version of the Nav DVD - not 6.1 (but there is a way around that too).

ah, I have 6.1 - that is my holy grail, so to speak no wonder it doesn't work, even though:

OK, I've waited a few days - how is that done?

See this thread/post and what follows. It does work on the Toyota Camry Nav too.

Can't find the CD slot by georgia411
Dec 11, 2006 (2:34 pm)

Hello all - Just bought by Camry Hybrid this weekend and am having fun learning about all the features. One thing perplexed me though - I cannot find where CD's are inserted. I called the dealer and he said their is some kind of eject button to the left the of NAV screen. I'll have to take a look when I get home (drove my old car to work today). I was surprised nothing like this was mentioned in the owner's manual. Did anyone else have this issue (not spotting it)? Thanks.

No, the Eject symbol/Close button was pretty self-explanatory to me...
