[QUOTE="leeswiftatt, post: 8546680, member: 672201"] Hi all, I'm hoping some one with some expertise may be able to help I have a clarion cx501e head unit that I've had for four years in a Suzuki Swift and last year was swapped into my new Swift Sport I noted over the colder months that the CD player skipped quite frequently and don't recall this ever being an issue before It sometimes happens when I hit a small bump in the road but then other times will just be random. I feel it does it more when it is cold outside and therefore the car is cold but as it warms up it isn't as frequent, maybe not doing it at all. However I can't be sure it is as simple as this I've raised it with my installer and clarion who have suggested condensation could be the cause and its on the laser but the car doesn't appear to get any more condensation than the one I had previously so I'm not sure if that's correct When I bang hard on the dash around the CD player it skips (as I imagine most would) but it does seem harder to get it to do this when the cars warmer? Does anyone have any suggestions I could try? I don't want to buy a new headunit if it isn't the problem and clarion don't believe the laser would have a fault after a few years, they thought it may have been screwed in to tightly on certain parts of the cage but it sounds like clutching at straws!
