My CD player has been giving me lots of trouble since about August. It wouldn't play CD's every once in a while. Then it progressed into not playing mornings and nights. Now, it plays only certain tracks (these are brand new CD's I am using). I was wondering, before I go buy a new headunit and whatnot, if there is any way to maybe clean the cd player? Anybody know what's wrong?

 

i say just get a new HU, makes the world of a difference.

 

yea get a new one. i went to the dealer and out of curiosity i asked how much the stock head unit is. its like 1,600 dollars. i started laughing at him. i was like yea right im going to pay u that much.

 

They're the biggest rip-offs. $1600. They gotta be kidding me.

 

you can try a junkyard or ebay to see if they have the stock unit. i've seen in crutchfield that there are HU's that are the equal size of the stock HU. here is an eBay listing for a stock 97 TL radio:

i have my old radio i might be willing to part

 

Is there any way to clean it? I have a feeling that might be the problem.

 

try one of those cd cleaners. i think its like a cd with brushes that cleans the lens of the lazer
