Anyone notice that it skips a lot over small bumps in the road?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

Who installed it?

Did you secure the unit using the provided metal backstrap?

Do you have a 4x4 with a lift kit and monster mudders?

A correct and secure install with the proper kit and harness goes a long way to avoid any skipping.

I don't think my Alpine 7998 has ever skipped.

I asked the guy at work who I just installed one for if it has skipped over the last week... not once, drives 45 minutes each way to work.

Nope, never skipped.

My 9883 has yet to skip.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.................he could have a defective unit. It does happen. But yes a poorly installed unit will make your life hell.

I am pretty experienced installing in general but in my personal car I have installed over 15 headunits/screens and have never had this problem... It stopped doing it for now so we will see.. Everything is bolted up, new harness thats soldered etc etc... I hope its not defective but warranty ftw guys //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

FYI: it is a lowered vehicle so the ride can be rough during bumps and stuff.
