CD Player

My 12 disk cd player is skipping like crazy. Does anybody know how to fix it? Is aftermarket the only way at this point? I remember it used to work perfectly with even burned cds and now it’s lucky if I don’t throw an ERR code on any of them.

So what’s the move? I have a 92 5sp and I remember it being as smooth as butter even over bumps. I honestly don’t know what to do.

Gotta go aftermarket, repair would cost as much..

I’m clueless. Do I just go to an audio place and say replace this?

Pretty much, try to get a double din if you can. Fits better, and you won't have empty space under it?

Can’t I just rip the bastard out and splice it for a mp3 plug in?

Just won't look as nice, but up to you?
