CD player not working

Post by Mohammedmr2 »

Hi guys
Just purchased a 1993 2.0gti with a few known faults which I hope to fix. First is the CD player is not working. Radio works fine but the CD player looks like it had no power. Any ideas? Thanks

1st thing is it the standard radio CD player or aftermarket?
Is it all one unit or separates?

Just a couple of questions that you need to expand on.

It appears at a glance to be standard but I'm new to mr2's so can't be sure. It is formed of 2 parts with a tape deck above s CD player. Shall I upload a picture?

Ah, yeah. Says 'Toyota' on both units, so I reckon they are Toyota units. :th:

Have you pulled them out and checked the connections? Not sure if the double dins use a single connector or one for each

No I haven't yet, though would be obvious step to take. Will pull it out and take a look.

It's a 24 year old car with probably an original 24 year old headunit. If it doesn't work, check the connections. If it still doesn't work then throw the whole lot in the bin and put a new aftermarket headunit in which will sound better and give you some more modern inputs like USB, Bluetooth and iPod.

It's a common issue for the cd drive to stop working. Don't know the reason. But as said, just replace with an aftermarket one. If you want it to blend in look at some newer Toyota head units to install.

Cheers guys, will remove it and see if I can get it working again. If I can't I will probably get a nice touch screen system installed
