[QUOTE="absavino, post: 6862699, member: 613922"] When it happens there are no signs. I watched carefully today. The battery is two years old. Today I plugged in a USB drive with MP3 songs and played them with no problems. So I tried a CD again and it played through two times with no problems (hour and half). Then it started to pause/skip(?). I noticed it was happening on two songs so I kept playing them over and over and it would skip at different places in those songs. I then took it out and put it back in (that's what he/she said, sorry couldn't resist). I played the tracks again and no problems. I let my car sit for a few hours and then played the CD played again, it was fine for awhile and then did it on a totally different song. The CD is new but it also happens on a GnR and VH CD. The thing is those cd's never skip when playing on my computer or on my previous HUs. With no real pattern it could be alot of things. I would think if it was overheating it would be consistent once it started and not just on a few songs. If it was a CD problem, I would think it would happen sooner and on the same songs everytime and not on different ones if I take out the CD and put it back in. The thing is those cd's never skip when playing on my computer or on my previous HUs. So it could be heat but as mentioned nothing consistent that would point to heat. I might just see if I could return it and get the Alpine iDA-X305S with no CD player and just play everything through the USB. Apparently whatever the problem is does not affect the radio or USB (or at least not yet). I will then see what happens before I start ripping things out. [/QUOTE]
