Hey Peoples,

Just wanted to say first off i have just joined this forum. I was googling my way around the net and came across this site and found it very informative so i thought i'd join in which would make this my first post. Formalities out of the way time to get down to the problem :)

I just got myself a Corolla Ascent ZZE122R '05 model and the CD deck has decided to no longer play my CD's. It seemed to be working the night before so not only is it not working there is a CD stuck in there too. My question is what would be the simplest and most effective solution to ge that CD out and get the deck working again. I was curious to know if theres like a reset type switch for the deck somewhere.

Thanks to anyone for any help provided :D

It's some kind of fault with the standard headunit.

Turn off/turn on your engine and it should work again.

I'm not sure if Toyota have done a recall on this or not, but take it back to your dealership and complain if you want.

Hmm interesting....thanks for the tip SuiCid3 i'll give it a crack.

x_tarcy33 i was considering changing the deck in the not too distant future but with the problem i've come across and from what you've just told me it seems that might happen sooner rather than later :lol: my next thought would be if its easy enough to change from the stock deck to a "normal" sized deck but thats something i may have to ponder over

well i stopped using mine a while back when i got an aftermarket head unit and i left a CD in there... when i was pulling the stock one apart to use as a casing (long story), i realised i had left a CD in there. I can't find ANY way of getting that CD out, even with the unit completely pulled apart...

so if it wont do it mechanically, good luck getting your CD out!

as far as i know, there isn't a reset switch, like SuiCid3 said.... try powering it up again... also check the fuse to see if it has blown but very unlikely... it is almost impossible to pry it open without damaging the unit if you still wanna salvage it!! :)

before checking ur fuse check ur cig lighter, if your cig lighter is not working as well then its ur fuse. Dont trust the book trust me, the two are on the same circut, as i found out tonight :D

From what i've found, most headunits (stock and aftermarket) reset the loading mechanism when you connect them to power after being disconnected.

So try removing the headunit, leave it unplugged for 5 minutes and then plugging it back in.

Provided you have power (see above posts) the unit should spit out any CD that is inside.

See how that goes!

What better reason to slam in an aftermarket double-DIN CD-R/MP3/DVD colour screen?!?!?! :lol:

And if you're going that far.... wow... the possibilities... I'm getting over excited :P

Yeah, my best recommendation is to go for an aftermarket HU..

No more problems after that. :)

I get the same problem, it was much more prevalent when the car was new, but does happen occasionally.

I usually just turn the car off and back on again which makes it work.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
