I have a 1999 honda crv, when i first bought it used around two years ago the radio was working fine.It's a cd player with a cd changer under the driver's seat, but now the cd player on the dash does not work, and it's giving me a code (E-00) what does this mean and how can i fix it, everything else works, thanks

Replace it with an aftermarket stereo.

Cleaning the Radio may fix it but what it sounds like is there is a lever inside that got jammed and you have to take the player apart to get it to work again.. Cheaper to get a new one

If its the OEM radio, you should be able to google it and find the solution. Some CRV's have a sticker on the side of the glove box with 5 digit number on them (visible when it's open). Also on some Honda's there is a sequence I remember seeing on youtube that will show the code on the radio. Get the number and then follow the instructions in the manual to reset it. Worst case scenario, there is a way you can get the radio ID number and then call the dealer with that number and they can give you the code. Nice Honda dealers will do this for free.

Sound like the radio is asking about unlock code, you will need ask your delaer this information.

buy a single cd/radio,that way you will not carry hundreds of dollars worth of discs around, also get one where you can plug in your mp3 player in,then you will not need discs, which are now obsolete anyway.

One of the advantages of buying a car new is the warranty and the service. Even if you are putting it in wrong it is part of the service to have them show you how to use it. There should be a section in the manual that will instruct you as well.

Read the manual and if you still can't get it to work, take it back and see what they find. The reason warranties are issued is because not everything works just because it is new.

Hope this helps

Sounds like the CD changer is defective, sometimes the dealer will offer a "one time goodwill" repair when it is out of warranty for miles but not for the time period. Check with the dealer where you purchased the car.

I have the same problem I bought one with the same problem. Does any one have a solution.

I had a similar problem with one of my home made CDs in my 6 disc changer. When I got the error sign, I was able to see the edge of the disc sitting in the slot, but it wasn't ejecting.
One my first try, I tried to use two toothpicks (the flat type) sandwiched together to prevent marring the disc when pulling it out.
Didn't work, so I used long needle nosed pliers, wrapped some tissue around the ends and was able to grip and remove the disc.
I had a similar problem with home made CD's in my Ford Freestar/Windstar vans and was able to pluck them out the same way.
Good luck.

If it were locked it would ask for a code on the radio display, more likely the radio's CD changer is defective, they are very prone to failure.
