Ok I have only had the car three days, and every time I put a disc in, it only wants to work maybe 3 out of 5 times. What gives???

Let me ask you a few questions to consider. Are you attempting to play CD-Rs (burned Cds)? Also, have you tried more than one CD? Try other CDs in your collection if you haven't already. Also, make sure that the CD isn't scratched to the point that it is unreadable. Besides that, I couldn't see what the problem is and I would then take it to be serviced.

I have tried several CD's some CDR's and some regular ones, but it only spits out the error innermittently. Also, if I leave one in there and come back to it later, it says error.

my 2000 solara had that problem. I took it back to the dealership and they gave me a new one

I would just take it back. They should issue you a new one.

Well, I called the dealer, seems my service team takes a long time to get an appt. with, but they plan to replace it.

hum, i don't have those problem with my 04 solara...
if u r using burned disk, make sure u use some disks that has BRAND...
dont' use those cheap disk, it will kill ur cd-reading-lense eventually...
get soemthing like imagine, sony, TDK...

anyway... i'm kinda happy with my solara stereo system tho...
it actually take CD-RW disks... amazing... not many factory system takes it...

just hope u ppl will solve the problem soon.. best luck

cd-rs what to use what not to use.

green backing - NO get close to silver, a slight blue or purple tint is ok

NO NAME or wierd names - like super computer cds = BAD

burning speeds - burning at 52 x is fast but it will drop your quality 16 x is good 4 is better 1 is ridulously cautious

Finally got an appointment Saturday afternoon, and they say they are going to replace it. It won't even play store bought CD's either, just says error when I put in a disk.

Well the new cd player is now on order. It held two error codes which stated that they were not fixable and therefor it has to be replaced. First they tried to say nothing was wrong with it, then after I told them it was innermittent and that it has displayed error 1 and error 2, guess they figured out they weren't gonna pull one over on me, so they hooked it up to the scanner and found my statements to be true. Kinda funny how I only have the car a week, and already something is broken. Glad I got the extended warranty with all of the stories I keep hearing.
