Usually when stock CD players in GM vehicles start popping up error codes your best bet will be to replace the unit. Try calling Pontiac Master, Milton Reuben, or Bob Richards and talk to the service manager and ask them what the code means.

I work at a car lot and when a factory head unit goes bad we usually replace it with an aftermarket one. If you plan on putting a system in your car go to Standard Electronics on Gordon Highway and talk to Christian. Tell him Billy from Military Auto Sales sent you.

A lot of times a simple cleaning of the pickup eye will fix this.

... and the best course of action for this is?

-spray in the cd slot with compressed air?
-get a cd cleaner thing, a cd with a brush on it?
-dissassemble the unit and clean with alcohol?

Thanks!

P.S. I get E20 all the time, especially when i try to play burned CD's
