I have a 05 coupe with 59k miles and I recently started having problems with my cd player. If I play a cd, it will begin playing a song fine but after a few minutes it starts to have a lot static on it too... Yes, they are burned cd's but this problem has only started within the last couple of months.. I can turn it to the radio and it plays fine. Is there a way to fix this without taking it to a dealership?

Any tips or advice to putting in a Ipod connector? Or which one is the best?

 

Sounds like the infamous CD failure. I think your only solutions are the dealer or replace with aftermarket.
