Question
Can I know how to fix this problem with my Kenwood car CD player installed in my 97 olds achieva SL. It was working fine till one morning when the inserted disc does not come out but it plays well..skips tracks and so on. The radio also works good. Can you please let me know how I ca fix this problem? I am located in Rapid City, SD. is this due to cold weather?

Answer
Hi Andy,
Radio CD players have a constant use life of about three years before becoming a pain in the butt, dirt, damp and viabration all tend to kill them, cleaning with a lazer head cleaning disc is good and it seems dirt is your problem, if the inside of your car gets iced up leaving it outside then damp in the innerds is also a possibility and should be avoided with a throw over car cover at night,
Peter
