how securly is it fitted?? no lose connections??

Its in quiet secure with a couple of screws either side and wedged in the cradle.

It doesnt skip with the radio so I guess its the disc drive side and not connections.

Pretty sure its the disc side just need to know if maybe a simple clean or alignment may fix it.

If that all costs too much then I guess I am up for a new one or good condition second hand one.

wat unit is it? i got a kenwood mp3, cant rem model, but it would skip more than normal when playing mp3 cds, i thought it was the deck, but it turned out the mp3s were fked cos they skipped on my comp as well! lol, if u got it recently, take it bk, thats wat warranty is for.

Hi all.

My Kenwood headunit is skipping over rough roads.

Anyone know if its terminal or can be fixed or point me in the direction of who can help?

Cheers.

My old Kenwood head unit hated being tilted back any more than about 10* in my old car. If it was flat, it wouldn't skip....

I think this is a common problem with cd players, unless its a newer type stacker with a gel centre which stops the skipping on rough surfaces. Saying that i had a pioneer (last model) which was excellent when it came to bumps. If its a headunit cd player not much you can do, apart from maybe try to mount it with some rubber sandwiched between it and the bracket mounts to absorb the knocks...?

has it only just started skipping? cos all cd players will skip over hard bumps

i think the better ones have an anti-shock thingo to prevent skipping

unless u just installed super hard suspension in ur car lol

I have just put the unit back in after removing one to go to another car. When new it was Ok. Now I can hit the side of the dash with my hand and make it skip everytime. Pretty sure it is knackered.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
