Hi All,

Well let me make a short story long...

I have an ARX with the integrated stereo (non Bose), my CD player is Effed - has the F0 error.

I have a couple of questions as it is pissing me off and I want to fix it.

1. I think it maybe simply that the CD's are jammed as it was disconnected a while ago and moved around with CD's still inside, didn't work straight after, hence they may have become dislodged from the trays and jammed the mechanism.

So, is it possible to remove the player, take apart the player and remove the offending discs, then reassemble to have a working player again. This of course assumes that nothing is damaged.....

My concern is that I have seen photos of some for sale on Import Monster and they dont look like they are that easy to disassemble ??

Can it be done?

2. This brings me to my second option - purchase a replacement on IM. I have been watching but they are few and far between. I saw one, but it seems like it comes as a complete package including the plastic mouldings/dash. The one I saw had different coloured plastic (grey as opposed to black). Can the hardware be removed from the plastic and simply replace the stereo only, or is it all one integrated unit?

Any feedback would be great as i don't want to A) buy one with wrong colour plastic, or B) spend 6 hours removing the dash to then find out that the offending CD's are as accessable as the Queen's left nipple.

Cheers

The stereo can be removed from the plastic trim and swaped for a different colour. If you take the stereo out just be careful with the ribon connector that connects to the front panel.

If you take the lid off the cd player you should be able to get them out. I have removed some cds in a bose model.

The cd player will cost to much to repair. Your better off getting the cds out and going afermarket dash.

Hi all,

Cheers for the responses.

So I reckon thne besty option is to remove it and try and "take the lid off"and remove the offending discs. BTW it's quite a varied mix from Sepultra Roots, to Prodigy to Alice and Chains Jar of Flies and even Beyonce which is my Mrs' CD of cousre :whistling:

Then if the player is still rooted I will look into getting an after market + dash. Where can I get these fandangled aftermarkets from?

it should all come out together from the car, then the stacker will come off the back of the fascia and from there you should be able to open it up. mines never been stuck so once you take the lid off, youre on your own lol

and yes mine is a 6 stacker from my RX which is the same as an ARX.

Thanks Zei, how much do you want for your if I can't fix it?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
