99 w/ 152K, so CD changer has been used a lot. It is getting worse about randomly skipping, although this may be more on CDR's than original CDs. What about plugging in an iPod instead? Would that be cheaper than a new CD changer? (I currently use the iPod on a tape adapter which works well.) I do like using the CD changer for short trips since radio reception is not good around here, and the iPod is a pain for short trips.

Try a different brand of CDRs, I had issues with some cheapo no brand stuff in the car, so I changed to a different cheapo no brand, with better results. Still occasionally does it, or sometimes just insists a disc isn't there (requiring eject to get it to rescan for it), but not often...

Try a lense cleaner....if you have one.....
It might be that the pick-up is getting tired (although these seem to last very well...)

The CD player is fine (except for certain CDR's), car's still rough........

I had exactly this problem - the unit never skipped, but would not recognise my CD-R discs. There were not cheap brands but Verbatim.
I tried the lense cleaner several times but this did not cure the problem.
In the end, I got so fed up, I installed a complete Pioneer set up.

I've had problems with Tesco's CDRs, they are sh*te in the Omega changers....
Sometimes it would take 5 mins to pick up a CD..
Any others are OK for me though...

if you are copying to cdr's on your own computer. check how fast it is recording at. most cheap discs are between 4-12x speed. if your pc is copying at faster it may cause it to skip
