Wow, only 4 days into owning my TCH and my CD changer died. ![Cry](https://electricvehicleforums.com/forums/images/smilies/emotikons/cry.gif)
I had 4 CDs in my Nav system (the max number), and went to the Audio menu and tried to switch from #4 to the #3 CD. The thing froze. Eventually I was able to get it off that screen and when I went back, it said "CD Error." I tried every possible permutation to remove, eject or play the discs. I turned it off for 3 hours, came back to it, etc. Bottom line, the thing's hosed.
I called the local dealer (I bought the car around 120-140 miles away), who said they'd never worked on these yet, so they didn't know if the entire Nav system would need to be replaced or just the stereo. If it's the stereo, they have to order it, as they don't keep this in stock. Their first opening is Monday - I'll let you know.
Also, my phone seems to have trouble connecting to the Blue Tooth for some reason, but I haven't problem solved it yet.
Depressing.![Sad](https://electricvehicleforums.com/forums/images/smilies/emotikons/sad.gif)
EDIT: Anyone else had trouble with this or anything else on the nav component?

Doesn't JBL make the stereo in this car? All I'm suggesting is that it's not Toyota's fault (even though it's covered under their warranty).
AS far as what you did or didn't do, I wouldn't have a clue. I haven't even tried the CD on ours.

Although, my dissapointment isn't really about blaming someone. I'm just depressed that my new wonderful toy isn't working right anymore. I'm really not that happy about needing to get serviced less than a week after buying my car. That my car gets to be the ginea pig at my local dealer doesn't inspire happiness either.

Yeah, I don't think it's Toyota's fault unless you blame them for buying stereo equipment from the lowest bidder.... (I'm guessing, that's how things seem to work these days)
If I was buying a car stereo or any stereo, JBL wouldn't be at the top of my list.

See if you can find the fuse for the stero system, remove it for a few seconds, replace it and try again. My son's stero system had a CD error in it and this fixed his problem. (He has a Matrix)

It just revived itself after 2 days without any intervention. Never took it to the dealer.
