Just wondering if anyone else has been having this problem at all, is this normal?

It doesn't skip when going over rough roads or anything, just like little dips, and only every now and then, but say it skips once, then it'll skip a couple more times every couple of seconds until i get pissy, and eject the cd...

anyone else having this problem with the stock?

planning on replacing it with a sony mp70 soon, but till then, skipping is annoying...

 

You should just put up with it until you get your sony. Just my opinion, no sense fixing something you are going to replace.

 

**** my stock one is just sitting around collecting dust...PM me if you want it...

 

my stock one does the same thing.. it skips.. but it doesnt reallly bother me cuz im gonna get a new one at some point..

 

my stock one skipped first time i drove my car off the mitsubishi lot. Solved that problem...replaced with alpine.

 

glad to see im not the only one...thanks for the info, i'll wait to replace it...

 

mine too

 

Lunitic, mine did the same thing the first day I got it also!

 

i have problems iwthmine skipping alot after it gets hot for awhile and then it wouldnt like my CD and i am like WTF~!~!? but im just waiting to get a poineer cd player.

 

Yeah Datenshi, Mine also skipped alot after getting hot. But it never refused the cd.

 

Wow, i did'nt know that they would get hot and act strange. My radio skipped for the first time the other day but I thought that I just had a bad cd in there. Oh well, Im getting a DVD unit soon anyway. Thanks for the info.

 

here's an idea. check your battery. i know it sounds silly but i had the same problem. and yea i also knew that my battery was going bad (gut feeling) and yea one day i did die. and i replaced it. and the skipping went away, except when i put in a bad cd, but then thats the cd's fault, not the h/u

 

you guys took your car the first day with it skipping and didnt get it fixed?

 

I was driving across I-80 in the middle of Iowa or Nebraska, (they look the same) and the cd's were coming out hotter and hotter and eventually it refused one. Just my luck the only thing on the radio was country and it didn't even come in well.

 

Mine gets pretty damn hot somtimes I can't even keep my fingers on the controls for a few seconds before it starts burning my fingers.
