original and replacement deck cd playback issues
I've spent the past 2 hours searching and found some threads that matched but no posted resolution.
Basically I just bought an '04 base cooper. The only problem was the factory deck would skip tracks like the cd was scratched (didn't matter burned/new/etc cd's).
Well I'm an audiophile so I purchased the kenwood kdc-x994 deck and had custom sounds install it. New deck, same problem. This deck is not as bad but there are times when it can't read cd's (went and bought new cd's from best buy just for piece of mind) or when it has power but stops playing the track for a few seconds then continues.
I took the car back today and they thought I received a defective deck and replaced it. So now I'm on my second kenwood, same problem. I'm thinking either bad ground, short somewhere, or steering wheel controls are possible problem.
no amp yet, stock speakers. Just starting with deck.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
-->Anthony

OK, so after more googling I found the same issues others have run into with this deck. I find it awfully coincidental that three decks would have this problem. I'm going to do some t/s tomorrow and I'll post back my results. If anyone has any other ideas, experience let me know, thanks.
