i have a built in usb in my cd player but cd's have better quality....jvc kd-820. it doesnt skip when i use that obviously but is there n e way to stop the cds from skipping? dynamat inside the dash? bracing, brakets? i know others have had this same problem and im sure someone figured outta way to listnen to cds
everyone who has had that problem here simply removed the h/u all together.. but they were serious into competing so that was no big deal.. try whatever you can.. you have nothing to lose. if your problem lies with the whole dash moving your kind of screwed but if the h/u is just jumping around try some brackets.. make sure the din it is in is secure
i believe it is what Kevin is talking about, where the radio is mounted to brackets instead of directly to the cars dash. helps with the vibration problems. also if you could wrap the brackets in dynamat, that would help. Dynamat FTMFW!!!!!
Sh!ttt, I have a Pioneer 9800BT and have only used the CD player 3 times. 60 gig Ipod in the glove box now takes its place. there is nothing that is gonna help you. If you don't like the skipping, turn the volume down PLAIN AND SIMPLE! Polo..
yea, its gonna skip but u wana make sure ur HU is mounted properly! like proper kit and not totally resting on dash body... try sponge at the bottom of the player or around it!
I know alpines have a really good antiskip feature...
but for some reason, it didnt matter what I did when I turned this up....
theres some 4gb floating around local pawn shops here for $60 .. lol .. as far as your brackets? go to home-depot and go look around the fencing area.. should be able to get 1/8" strip of metal with holes pre-drilled all down the piece.. if its not around there it should be where they carry the flat pieces of steel. just ask around in there they will find it for you
Buy some sponge pieces and cut them in 2" x 2" squares. Then wrap them in electrical tape. Then tape them around your reciever so that it allows the reciever to rest somewhat snuggly in the dash but it has enough cushion so that it does not skip. Make sure to leave some gaps in between the pieces of sponge so that it does not overheat the reciever and cause damage. This should work. It hasn't failed me yet. Just expirament for awhile until you have it all figured out.
I had the same problem. I'm almost deaf, so I really have to turn it up. With my Grand Am I just got an Eclipse 8445 and it seems fine (except when I really get on the volume).
In my Jeep, I had to go with an iPod. There was just WAY too much bass. Eclipse is probably the best out there for not skipping (at least from my personal experience).
but after some years, of the constant shaking of its parts, it eventually starts to skip... its a common problem... but I guess that also depends on what models... this was explain by a eclipse dealer! b4 my friend switched to pioneer!
Polo..
