last few days were pretty cold in NY , when i go to my car at 4 AM its around 32 F - 37 F my problem is that for at least 30 minutes after i start my Z i cant listen to any cds due to the fact that they skip ( the cds i tested were brand new ) also my friend who has 02 pathfinder says its been happening to him all the time , his dealer says its normal , anyone with the same problem ?

 

mine just skips when i go over bumps... and also mine be turning on by itself from some weird reason

 

noone experienced skipping when car is cold ? come on

 

man, I thought it was just me!!! yeah that sux, i just listen to the radio in the morning til my heat is really, really, really kickin'.

 

mine never skips even when i hit bumps

 

eddytsi you gonna take your Z in for this ? im droping off my car on Monday and im gonna mention it to them , of course it probably wont skip while they're testing it , and again im gonna look like a dick ...
acmw - that whats funny about it , when my car is running for awhile it never skips

 

i think it has to be the cold 'cause if its warm, nothin' happens.
why r u taking your car in shop? if's it's the cd problem, i would live with it or get aftermarket radio.

yeah, your probably right, when u take it in, the cd will play!

ed

 

i have other issues with the car thats why im taking my car in , but will mention the cd player , I had an aftermarket radio , took it out for now..

 

and yes it happened again , cd player stoped working...eddytsi you might want to go check out that skipping after all

 

u know what, i think its happening more and more now. cheap piece of crap. i'll be driving the z for another 2 weeks before putting it away. i'll deal with it, maybe i'll listen to tapes!!!!!!

anyways, it skips alot with burned cd's more.
u had your radio replaced 4 times?!?!

 

mine did it too... the delaer replaced the head unit last week.... problem solved.

 

Mines Skipping now too.... getting cold outside.... and only does it when the car is not 'warmed up' ...

 

i had my radio replaced for the 5th time now... service manager called me and said they replaced my radio but the new one is more messed up than my old one... i guess they're using remanufactured radios...

 

i don't really know how a cd player works inside but i noticed that certain cd's will do that and some cd's no problem. Hmmmm. just one more week of driving the z then i'll worry about it in spring.

maybe you should put in your aftermarket radio. i wonder if the maxima or other nissan cars have the same problem?

 

i know for sure some pathfinders have the same problem...
i would put in an aftermarket radio , as a matter of fact i had nice system in my Z already , but because of other problems with the car i took everything out...

 

if u have a tape player in your BLOSE, listen to that. what else could go wrong with that?? can't skip.

 

hmm yea i guess i can listen to tapes but thats not my point , i bought something and expect it to work properly..
whats next , if my transmission grinds in 3rd gear use only first 2 ?
on the other note im tired of my complaining

 

I have this problem too. The car manual says your CD player may not work in the cold. I decided I am done with this piece of crap. It is the worst ever. Never had a problem with any of my other factory head unit. Bose is for the home.

 

manual states that the cd player may not work in the cold ? wow ... no comments

 

i wonder if other cd players says that. kinda funny cause ALL my cd players in all my cars work fine in the xtreme cold
