Cold weather and the Z.

Cold weather and the Z.
Tonight was the coldest night I have driven the Z. It was 10 Celcius/50 Fahrenheit. The first thing I notice is that the CD kept skipping. I was already thinking of changing the head unit but WTF!? It's not even winter weather out and the BOSE head unit is already skipping?
Is anyone else getting this issue? Even my Jetta stock cd player doesn't skip in this weather.
PS: Man does the car sound more mean and feels faster in this cold weather. But I'm slipping more on the road.

Gah! I can't wait to change the stock head unit. But maybe the skipping could be caused due to condensation on the CD in the cold weather?

Im in NC and isnt exactly cold here yet, but the coolest its been so far this year and my CD palyer has started skipping horribly in the last week or so. Coincidence im sure, but still strange.

cold weather definately plays a part in the moving parts inside the CD player...not necessarily condensation...it lags a little more loading and you can hear the mechanical of the cd player grind a little more...this is not just the Z...i'm basing this on a few cars that i've had....it just means low quality...HAHAHA
