I was hitting some locale "U PULL IT" salvage/junk yards looking for some parts to a firebird,but when I'm there I always check the troopers,Rodeo,Passport as the inventory is always changing.

And I'll be damned if there wasn't a 6 disc cd changer that wasn't pulled.
I asked to use there battery and checked to see if it worked and it did!
The radio was beat to hell n back but the CD changer was in awsome condition!
They sold it to me for 20$
I pulled it out of a trooper...I think...can't remember,sorry

Definitely a nice score for $20. Doesn't look like it's ever even been used.

The best use for one of those was someone on here made a desktop robot (http://vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=19249&highlight=cd+player+art) out of one. :)

Seriously, I'd guess at least 50% or more of folks on this forum have said theirs got jammed and/or ate CDs, and throws error code ERR03, and that will mean it's toast. Maybe start burning copies of any valuable CDs you might want to play.
I put a cubby box in it's place…great place for my ipod, much better use of that space IMHO.

Nice score for $20. I am looking forward to installing a cubby hole where my dead one is. I have a aftermarket stereo now.

You know we've had three Vx's, and never a problem with one of those Fujitsu CD players.

Mind stopped working about 2 weeks ago. Not the first time though. Did that once before for a couple of days. Still waiting for it to heal itself, lol.

Mine was junk when I bought my VX. Makes me wonder what if any cd's are in it? I have the original radio in a box on a shelf. If I ever run across a working cd player for cheap I would buy it and do the same.

i think it actually tells you not to in the manual (or somewhere) - if you hit a bump while its moving in the inside it can jam and you wont get anything out without pliers and/or a sawzall - just trying to keep someone from making the same mistake i did - if i could have found a replacement for $20 i would have put one back in but i just replaced with aftermarket cd/mp3 and a dash pocket - i use that dash pocket all the time

Yes, exactly…it eats them and won't eject them. Mine was dead when I bought the truck, displayed error message ERR03 right from the get-go. It would do a clicking sound over and over and over…maybe it was trying to engage the CD and just kept repeating it…like a loop. Very annoying. Yet it couldn't play a CD. When I had my dead unit removed and ipod connection installed, the stereo shop took it apart and was able to get 3 CDs out of it….all AC/DC…so PO must have been a hard rocker! LOL.
