The error code E-05 on your Kenwood KDC-X591 CD player indicates a problem with the disc reading process. Here are some possible causes and troubleshooting steps you can try:

Dirty lens: Even though you cleaned the laser reader with a cotton swab, it might not be entirely clean. Try using a commercially available lens cleaning kit designed specifically for electronics. These kits typically include a cleaning solution and swabs that are safe for delicate components.

Damaged disc: The disc you are trying to play might be scratched, warped, or otherwise damaged. Try playing a different disc to see if the error persists.

Faulty laser unit: If cleaning the lens and trying different discs don't resolve the issue, the laser unit itself might be faulty. This would require repair or replacement by a qualified technician.

Here are some additional resources that you might find helpful:

Kenwood KDC-X591 user manual (if you can't find it, search online using the model number)

Online forums or communities for car audio enthusiasts (search for "Kenwood KDC-X591 E-05 error")

If you are comfortable troubleshooting electronics yourself, you can try opening the unit and cleaning the lens more thoroughly. However, be very careful as you can easily damage sensitive components if you don't know what you're doing. If you are not confident in your ability to fix the unit yourself, it is best to take it to a professional for repair.
