Hi,my lexus is 200 cd player is not working.it says err3.wht does that mean and what is the solution?thanks

Does the stereo have a cd slot along the top??

replace the stereo

Hello you have a ERROR 3 this is a malfunction of your stereo system you will have to remove it for service and repair this is the best solution

Unfortunately 90% of the time when you get error codes from the CD player/changer it means that there is a mechanical failure in the CD player/changer unit itself and it usually requires CD player/changer rebuild or replacement...
First make sure you have entered the correct anti-theft code. If battery power has been disconnected recently than the stereo display will read CODE if the incorrect anti-theft code is entered the display will read ERR1 thru ERR3. If this is the case you'll have to get the correct anti-theft code. Note; If you enter the incorrect code three times the stereo locks up. Disconnect the battery for more than 30 seconds and then retry.
FYI;Never use adhesive labels or protective disc covers on recordable CD's. Recordable CD's are actually thicker than pre-recorded CD's. Automotive players and changers use rollers to draw the disc into the unit. The added thickness of an adhesive label or protective disc cover may cause the disc to jam. Also CD players and changers are exposed to high temperatures inside the vehicle. High temp will cause the labels adhesive to soften which may cause the labels edges to curl or cause it to bubble. Either one may cause the disc to jam. If the player can not be disassembled and have the discs removed successfully than it will have to be replaced. -hope this helps.

Nope thats what you have to do....they are they only ones that can repair that unit

that is a common problem with those cd players

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

hi..
This is a faulty loading motor. you will need to replace the entire optical lens assembly in this case. the motor is part of the assembly...

thank u
rate me!!

This likely means the factory amplifier has failed. You can take a external speaker to see if it works directly out of the cd player, if so replace amplifier, if not replace cd player .Thanks

Once mine started doing that the 6 disc died soon afterwards, seems to be a common problem

there are only couple options. pull radio and send to shop for repair, purchase used radio from good junk yard. or call dealer and see if there is a warranty on it. even though its 6 yrs old they may help. what they do at the dealer is an exchange
