CD Player skips???

[Yanks0114]

My car is doing the same thing. I still have the stock unit too, and every cd I put in skips--CDRs and store bought cds, too. It's really starting to piss me off, but it sounds like the same thing that's happening to Missay, even when I'm sitting still it skips like no other. If you figure anything out let me know, please. Thanks - David

Best advice is to go with an aftermarket cd player.

pioneer DEH-p7400MP - $229 online/ebay
or the premeir model of it(better features) DEH-P740MP for $240 shipped on ebay

Both are great cd players. Also alpine has great cd/mp3 players but they are a little more expensive. Look for something with the vpower chip

I gotta' factory system in my '99 too, and it'll skip no matter what I put in. The strange thing that I have noticed is that it'll skip more while under braking than any other time ........... kinda' weird. These systems must have a poor tracking system, 'cause I can pull out the disk and pop it right back in and no problems for a little while.

YUP! I got that skipping problem as well when braking w/ stock system.
I wish the put ESP in their CD player.

I use Alpine 7894 MP3 Player, and it never skip!

That's strange. I have played burned CDs ad infinitum in my car and have experienced skips maybe 2-3 times TOTAL, usually after having traveled over the fine pot-holed roads in Providence.

What year is your car, impactX?

Fall River, Ma isn't much better. I used to have that same CD Player in my car, it used to skip like a fairy all the time. I am glad I put in what I have now. Never ever skips.

Its a problem we've been having. Still waiting for mookie to get some free time. Gotta take care of the real business before the car forum You can delete extra posts by going to the upper right hand corner of your post and click the X

depends on which unit you choose.

Gunman did you have to slot the factory brackets to get it fit flush? I was going to do that to mine so that the radio fits flush and doesn't stick out. That looks nice. Guess I'll have to post a picky of my Clarion now,,

[ZXLNT]

Wow, I never had a problem using burned CD-R's with my stock radio. Never skipped a beat. Replaced it though with a Clarion DXZ835MP and a bunch of other stuff..

What everybody is seeing here is very common with CD-R's. Without getting too technical on this, it's a combination of the burner, the media, and the player. Players that are certified to play CD-R's are able to accept variations in the burning process and compensate for them. When you try to play a disk on a player that was intended for comercial CD's only it's a hit and a miss. Basically what is happening is that there is a small amount of variation from the CD spec (which is different than the CDR spec) that creeps onto the media in the CDR burning process. Additionally, the CDR media is not CD spec compliant, so a little more variation gets added. As long as the sums of the variations are within the CD spec, it will play on a CD player, otherwise you're SOL.
What's even more interesting is that CD players are manufactured around some average CD spec plus a tolerance. That average can shift as long as it is within the spec tolerance. As a result, you may be able to play a CDR on one 2000 Solara, but not on another.
My advice for upgrades: Make sure the new player is CD-R compliant.

i have noticed that when the cd player gets warm enough, it won't skip anymore.
