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.

Sounds like my Kenwood I have in my daily. Very sensitive to scratches and bumps. Darn thing...

I too have found Kenwoods to be sensitive to scratches and bumps, especially with burnt disks.

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.
