Perfectly good CDs and CDRs that work all spring and summer, start to skip once the temps drop in the Fall... like below 60F. It looks like until the headunit warms up after enough minutes of use, it doesn't like to read CDs smoothly and skips on perfectly good CDs that worked fine all summer and work fine once the headunit is warmed up (often when I've already gotten close to my destination).

Very strange. Anyone else with a similar issue?

 

No, but it doesnt get that cold here in LA

 

Mine does that too. Its the condensation on the cd's when you first drive the car. After a few minutes driving, the cd stops skipping. Its been addressed before and a decent number of people have experienced this problem.

 

cold, hot, dry, wet, sunny, cloudy

the pos just skips 24/7

 

Oh so having the dealer look at it won't do any good then? Just live with it, or is there a fix for the player that needs to be done?

 

I had to replace my cd player TWO times to fix that problem. When they started

to skip just in the morning, I took the car to the dealership to replace my cd

player or the unit that needed to replaced. Then, I had it for about 2 months

and it started to skip again. Then... it didn't even play. So now I replaced it

about a month ago and it's working good so far.

Just ask dealer to replace your cd player if it really bothers you.

Mine skipped the whole 10 secs of music in the morning.

 

i think this is a known issue, i might be wrong but i think this problem affected some maximas too...

 

I've had that problem with virtually every in-dash car CD player I've owned (factory, aftermarket, etc..). They usually work fine initially but eventually the weather gets to them and they either won't play in the heat or won't play in the cold. I've had far better luck with CD changers in the trunk. It gets worse with age, too. You need a new player. If you're under warranty the dealership should do it for you.

 

Well one thing I found out at the dealer is that any replacement unit you get at a dealer will be a remanufactured unit which is just as likely to suffer some other problem, so I'll stick with my original one until/unless it stops working entirely. =/
