Hope for Error 3 Scion HU 6cd changer

I think some of you may remember when I bought my Scion 6cd changer from a low-life, piece of sh*t on Scionlife.com. I triple checked that the changer was put in "Ship Mode" before he sent it out and he assured me that it was. I got it and installed it to find the Error 3 code when I tried to load a cd. Bastard. I tried to contact him to get my money back ($250) but he wouldn't return my e-mails. I e-mailed paypal and they said I got something so they couldn't do anything. I called my credit card co linked thru paypal and did a chargeback and got credit. After a month, they said I received a stereo and was charged again. I was pissed.

I looked online for a fix but couldn't find one. Then I bought a single disc HU off ebay for $92 shipped. Everything was fine until one of those threads came up and made me wonder if I could take it apart to see what was wrong.

A few nights ago, I took it apart and played with the trays and got it to move around more freely than it did before. I installed it this morning and it worked! I loaded 4 cds and they all played (2 mp3 ripped and 2 regular, store bought cds).

The only downside is that I can't change the SCION power up message. Sounds just as good as the single disc unit but now I have room for 5 more cds :D.

Anyone have tips or tricks for the T1802 6cd changer? I've been looking and can't find much.

Also, anyone interested in a T1804 single disc HU? Clean, no marks and works great! Used about 10 months. The back is pre-drilled for the diversity antenna cable so you can plug both antennas into the unit. If not, I'll throw it on eBay.

How much you want for it?

Does it work with the steering controls and play MP3s as well?

wb2fcr - How about $85 shipped?

mike - I don't think the 6cd changer is an '05 model so that's probably why I can't change it. I did a search here, scionlife.com and google and not much comes up for the T1802 (the model I have).
