Every time we start getting into hot weather and my car sits outside during work, when I come back and turn it on, the thing starts spitting out CD's. Anyone else encountered this?

Thanks, Mike. I'm going to try that.

Yeah, my display goes blank when it happens. I wanted to try the CD cleaner route so I went to Best Buy. Have you tried to buy JUST a CD player recently? No such thing. Now you have to buy a DVD player that will also deign to play CD's. Similarly, there are no "CD cleaners". You buy a CD, DVD, Game cleaner. It says put it in and the follow the audio directions that will play. They DON'T! All I get is an "ERROR" message. Took it back today and got refund. I have a CD cleaner around here somehwere but it hasn't turned up yet which is why I bought the new one.
ANOTHER ONE HERE 
Mine is doing it too and also my display shuts off but radio still works . Taking it in friday since it's still covered under Xtended warranty. I'll keep you up to speed.
I would like to replace it with the latest Scion version , but don't know what is the best (OR LATEST VERSION) one thats plug and play.

My '08 T4R began doin this as soon as it got hot this year, too. Sometimes randomly while driving down the road (thought there was a short in the steering wheel controls or something), sometimes when I start after a hot soak. With as many people as it seems to be happening to you'd think Toyota would recall the radios (JBL Synthesis, 6 disc CD changer) since it's very distracting when you're cruising down the road!
I took it to the dealer and they said , ok no problem , extended warranty will cover it and ordered me one up. Just waiting now .
Also something I learned is my radio is a "DJ" code radio with wma/mp3 , 6 disk , sat selection. It is made by Pioneer.
They are going to replace the 3 bulbs in the on board comp too since they flicker.

I installed an '06 jbl 6 disc in my '05. I noticed that while night driving, the lights on the lower half of the HU would not work.
here is my question
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52169
I just took it apart (pretty easy but takes some time, two screws and the clips on the face and then 10 screws to remove the board). I cleaned all of the contacts and cleaned the wire going from board 1 t board 2. When I put everything back together and plugged it in, all of the cds spit out and the interface would not work at all. I took it back apart and put it back together again, and this time it worked. i still do not know if the lower lights work since it's daylight, but it is a very frustrating issue. for those who have warranty left, def. get it replaced...otherwise, take it apart, clean it and put it back together.
