The issue you're experiencing with your Pioneer PD-M40 suggests a potential problem with the disc loading mechanism or the sensor that detects the presence of the disc cartridge. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. **Clean the Disc Cartridge and Player:**
Dust or debris on the disc cartridge or inside the player may affect proper disc loading. Remove the disc cartridge and clean both the cartridge and the player carefully with a soft, lint-free cloth.
2. **Inspect for Obstructions:**
Check for any visible obstructions inside the disc loading mechanism or around the edges of the disc cartridge slot. Ensure that there is nothing blocking the path of the cartridge as it is inserted.
3. **Check for Proper Alignment:**
Ensure that the disc cartridge is properly aligned when inserting it into the player. Misalignment may prevent the player from recognizing the presence of the cartridge.
4. **Try a Different Disc Cartridge:**
If you have access to another disc cartridge, try inserting a different one to see if the issue persists. This can help determine whether the problem is specific to the cartridge or the player itself.
5. **Power Cycling:**
Turn off the player, unplug it from the power source, and wait for a minute or two. Plug it back in, power it on, and then attempt to insert the disc cartridge to see if the issue is resolved.
6. **Test with the Lid Open:**
Power on the player with the lid open and observe the disc loading mechanism as you insert the disc cartridge. Check for any unusual movements, sounds, or signs of misalignment.
7. **Lubrication:**
If the player has not been used for an extended period, lubrication on moving parts may have dried out. Consult the user manual for recommendations on proper lubrication or contact Pioneer customer support.
8. **Contact Pioneer Support:**
If the issue persists and you've exhausted the troubleshooting steps, it may be advisable to contact Pioneer customer support or seek assistance from a qualified technician. There could be an internal issue that requires professional attention.
Always refer to the user manual for your Pioneer PD-M40 for model-specific instructions and recommendations. If you don't have the manual, you may be able to find it on the Pioneer website or by contacting their customer support.

Greetings from Mississauga :>D
My research shows it just needs a standard RCA lead to connect. However you realize this is just a standalone CD player and needs an amplifier as well as speakers? It has no amplification of its own, it just puts out an audio signal.
When connected to a Pioneer System Audio Amplifier, the control cables allow you to control the CD Player from the Amplifier remote control as they cable connect to that amplifier. The Line Out connections are for the RCA cable and supply the audio data to the amp.

You just have one small part of a composite audio system.
Regarding speakers, most are 8 ohm. you can spend $50 used or $60,000 for Bowers and Wilkins Nautilus. I have a pair of Wharfedale Linton speakers that I bought from the UK factory that you can have for $450 CDN :>) Top of the range.
...Watch the videos with black squares on YouTube.
The answer lies in the 'year make model' and the only clue you give us is 'truck', so here you go. This website lists them all. One problem with modern vehicles is that the Body Control Modules monitors the stereo because it does other features, like giving warning sounds via the speakers. Playing with wires is not wise because the BCM uses a 5 volt computer network to relay data and it sounds like you may have given it 12 volts?
If the power button behind the faceplate of your Pioneer AVH-P5200DVD is broken and the copper jumper is lost, there might be a few things you could try:
Contact Pioneer Support: Before attempting any repairs yourself, it's a good idea to reach out to Pioneer customer support. They might be able to guide you through potential solutions or suggest authorized repair centers where you can get professional help.
Check for Replacement Parts: You could try searching for replacement parts for the specific model of your Pioneer unit. The copper jumper you're referring to might be available as a replacement part. Check online marketplaces, electronics repair shops, or even Pioneer's official parts store.
Jumper Wire: If you have some experience with electronics, you might consider using a small gauge jumper wire to bridge the connection that the power button makes. This could potentially be a temporary solution, but keep in mind that modifying the internal components of electronic devices can be risky and might lead to further issues if not done properly.
Professional Repair: If you're not comfortable working with electronics, it's advisable to seek help from a professional electronics repair technician. They have the expertise to diagnose the issue accurately and carry out repairs safely.
Temporary Workaround: If the above options aren't feasible, you might consider leaving the power button in the "on" position (if possible) and using the unit's remote control to power it on and off. This would bypass the need for the physical power button.
Remember that tampering with electronic devices can void warranties or lead to further damage if not done correctly. If you're unsure about any steps, it's best to consult with a professional technician.
Question edited for clarity and 'make, series, model and number' in correct order.
My searches lead me to believe that you have a model that was made for the Japanese home market and only comes in Japanese. The advert for it is in Japanese. No English Manual listed.
Question edited for clarity and better English.
You don't say what language you want to change to? I get the impression that English is not your your first language.
Here is the manual

It is only in Japanese. The Toyota Aqua is a Japanese Home Market Model, so the stereo is probably only in Japanese unless you can get a firmware update to where you live.
Toyota Aqua (Japanese: ???????, Hepburn: Toyota Akua) is a full hybrid electric subcompact/superminihatchback (B-segment) manufactured and marketed by Toyota since 2011. The nameplate is exclusive to the Japanese domestic market,
It is also the Toyota Prius in other countries, so the videos might help. There is also a trick to use a smartphone with the Google Translate app on it and use the camera feature to translate what you see onscreen. Look for Settings - Language.
The Pioneer GM-2000 is a two-channel amplifier that is designed to boost the sound output of your car's audio system. Here are the steps to wire up the Pioneer GM-2000:
Disconnect the negative terminal of your car battery to prevent any electrical short-circuit.
Locate a suitable location to mount the amplifier in your vehicle. Ensure that the amplifier is mounted securely and won't interfere with any moving parts in your car.
Run the power cable from the battery to the amplifier location. The power cable should be of sufficient gauge to handle the current draw of the amplifier. Consult the amplifier manual for the recommended gauge of wire.
Connect the power cable to the positive terminal of the amplifier and secure it in place.
Connect the ground wire to a metal surface near the amplifier location. Ensure that the surface is clean and free of rust or paint, and that the wire is securely attached.
Connect the remote wire to the amplifier's remote input. This wire provides a signal to turn the amplifier on and off when the head unit is turned on and off.
Connect the speaker wires to the amplifier's speaker output terminals. Ensure that the positive and negative wires are connected to the correct terminals.
Connect the RCA cables from the head unit to the amplifier's RCA input jacks. These cables transmit the audio signal from the head unit to the amplifier.
Turn the amplifier on and test the audio output from your speakers. Adjust the gain and other settings as necessary to achieve the desired sound quality.
Remember to consult the amplifier manual for the recommended wiring instructions and to ensure that you follow proper safety precautions when handling electrical components. If you are not confident in your abilities, it is recommended to seek professional installation.
If you are experiencing no audio output from your iPhone 12 Pro when paired with your Pioneer AVH2800bs, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

Check your phone's audio output settings. Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and make sure that "Change with Buttons" is turned on. This will allow you to adjust the volume on your phone using the physical buttons on the side.
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your phone to the car stereo. Sometimes a simple disconnect and reconnect can fix the issue.
Check if your car stereo has any firmware updates available. Visit the Pioneer website and search for your specific model to see if any updates are available.
Try using a different audio cable to connect your phone to the car stereo. The cable may be faulty or damaged.
If none of these steps work, you may want to try resetting your phone's network settings or resetting your car stereo to its factory settings.
