Damn 6 disc STOPPED WORKING!

[Sn88pyBQ]

Hey townboy2, funny you say that cause my gf won't let me buy a new HU either. She said you still have the radio and tape! LOL I want some MP3s in my car too man!

That 6 Disc is just not worth fixing. Seems like the 6 Disc in the Solara is crap! Seems like lots of people are having problems with it too.

I don't want the person installing it for me to mess anything up so do you guys know of any good installer in the NYC area that you guys used before? Please let me know guys I would really like to hear some MP3s in my car.

I'm really thinking of getting a new HU! You think I could install it mayself since I don't know any good places to get it done? I never installed a HU before. Anyone have pictures that show step by step inst.. to do it?

I would disconnect the battery cable first to reset it and see if that works. If not then take it out and kick it off a bridge! Jaimster...OUT!

HAHHAHAHHA... Funny!!!!!!!!!!!!

nah whats funny is i had an amp that was actin up a while back (it was a freebie kenwood) anywyas i got soo fuggin irritated with it i droped that biatch 5 feet to the ground and what do u know it worked fine


reset the battery. Was it a cold night out?? my cd player acts up when its real cold out in the morning (like in the mid 30's)

[Sn88pyBQ]

Its always cold here now but that shouldn't be the problem! I could hear the damn thing trying to play something or switch disc but its like its stuck! Guess I need to get a new HU! Any good ones?

Alpine all the way.
They rleased some with MP3 player built in.
They are also XM radio ready too.

Damn Alpine are so ugly! Pioneer looks so much better! lol

[Duffman]

Alpine looks so much cleaner... and there is NO comparison in quality. If you want something GOOD, go Alpine. They look clean and they perform like champs.

I've got an Alpine 6-Disc CD/MP3 Changer, hooks right into the HU. Real easy to do, if you have a screwdriver and an afternoon free. If you decide to go that path, hit me up if you have questions... it's a LOT easier than it appears.

[Sn88pyBQ]

Hey duffman, so you got the Alpine 6 Disc and hooked it up to your stock HU? If you did that, does that mean your Alpine 6 Disc is in your trunk?

[adam2562]

take it to toyota.. they'll send it out and getur cd's out and ship tem to you.. and get u a new headunit or refurbished one as soon as they can... and it shouldbe of no charge

[Sn88pyBQ]

No charge? You sure about that? I don't think the car is under warranty anymore do they still do it for free? If so, I'll bring it in as soon as I can. Let me know.....

Hey duffman, so you got the Alpine 6 Disc and hooked it up to your stock HU? If you did that, does that mean your Alpine 6 Disc is in your trunk?

No, it's hooked to an Alpine HU... though I'd wager there's a couple changers out there that will work with the stock unit.

[adam2562]

i think its a warranty with the stereo maufacturer.. go check it out... maybe some dealers kno how to get it done and some dont... but we've done it

[Jai_Jai_Binks]

Whenever my has stopped working (and i had extra time on my hands) i just paid $25 for my extended warranty deductible and i get a new cd magazine (where cd's are housed) every time!

[Sn88pyBQ]

Wow Jai, it seems like your 6 disc stops working alot or something! lol

[adam2562]

maybe its the burned cd's u put in
