CD Player Fail

Hey guys,

My CD player will play the one disc I have in it, but it’s not ejecting. Any ideas? I disconnected the battery for the time required to do a reset but that didn’t help.

 

I vaguely remember have to hit eject and then use a flat tool to remove a CD. That was a few trucks ago though. Sounds like a great excuse for an audio upgrade.

 

Haha you may be right...I don’t really like the updated look, I’m a pretty basic guy. I don’t listen to cds much anyway but I may be changing my mind.

 

time for upgrade. you can get some nice Pioneer or Kenwood HU for mid $350.

 

Now I’m torn. Leveling kit or radio...

 

what do you use the most ? for me radio was a no brainer. I enjoy good music in my truck.

 

??? The Kenwoods I've been looking at 500+. Maybe it's just my champagne taste and beer budget.

 

If you use your phone for music and dont have factory bluetooth just get an auxiliary bluetooth like this ($5.00) and be done with it..then get your leveling kit already..

 

here is a very nice unit for $350 by pioneer. doesn't play CDs but thye have one that plays as well.

I've seen used OEM head units for $50 on CraigsList. Easy to swap out. Maybe 30 minutes to do it.

 

Does this in my truck mean it’s bluetooth? Don’t know if this current radio is made for it though?

 

^^no idea what that is..maybe someone will chime in.

 

yes bluetooth with your smartphone and it will play music through the audio AUX in to your radio/tundra speakers.

you plug it to the AUX input you see on your dashboard below A/C buttons

 

If I have an audio aux connected to my smartphone to play music, then what’s the point of the Bluetooth thing on the truck?

 

wireless bluetooth through AUX input via adapter unless your radio has bluetooth already then you don't need it.

imo best is to get new HU with carplay or android auto. you can then use it for GPS mapping too.
