Sony Head Unit Problems

My Sony CDX-C7050X is really acting up. Most of the time, it won't play my CDs, it'll give me an "ERROR" message. When it does play, it skip "like a school girl." It can't get through one track, even when standing still. I tried a Lens cleaner, it seemed to help a little for a short while, but now it's bad again. I'm going to try e-mail sony, but I doubt that will get anythign done. I was wondering if anyone had a solution for this. Also, i was thinking, I could get a CD Changer to hook up to the HU. Does anyone have a Sony CD Changer? Does it skip?

I know I shouldn't have gotten a Sony, but that was back when I just got the car and didn't know anything. I had always thought of Sony being a decent brand to get, but that doesn't seem to be so for their car audio. Thanks for any help [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

if one sony product fails, why would you get another one? not flaming, but thats just my opinion... i never liked sony... for the price of a changer you could get a new HU

I think i can get a changer for about ~150. If i get another CD player, it'll probably be an MP3 player, so that would atleast run me about 300. I dont' really want to get a regular CD player.

JVC KD-SH 909 ... ive had mine for almost a year and i like it... 288 on autotoys.com ... an mp3 changer is also decently expensive... you buy what you like, but i dont trust sony... all the installs i do with sony products i always warn people against it...

I e-mailed Sony with a question once and since they have such a big demand of questions to answer it took them a month to e-mail me back. My cd player skips too, but only over bumps at around 20 mph. Odd that the AUX input NEVER skips....must be a cd player problem.

Actually, no. You can get a Pioneer Premier DEH-P740MP at $250 and maybe less if you look at the other auctions. Gotta love Ebay stores. They're quite nice decks. I plan on getting mine within a week or so. I've had my eye on them for quite sometime, just a matter of time and money.

You're chances are high on this auction since it's a dutch:
