Anyone ever found anything to help with the factory CD player's tendency to reject a CD and give a "ERR" message? Happens to me pretty often, but if I'm persistent then it will eventually accept the CD. These are store-bought CDs, not home-burnt CDs or MP3 CDs, etc.

p.s. No, I don't want to go aftermarket. I've explored those options and would rather stick with a factory unit.

I never used the CD player in mine. I bought one of those $20 Bluetooth devices that transmit on an FM frequency. Streamed music from my phone. It worked well enough, but I ended up replacing the factory unit with a double din Android unit.
