CD Player skips, is this normal>
I have a 2001 S55. Over bumps and rough road, the CD changer in the truck will skip a good deal, depending how bad the road is. On smooth roads, it is OK.
Is this normal? Is there some anti-skip protection in this CD player? Is it possible it is loose in there? Any ideas?
Thanks!

There is anti-skip protection, and the switch that provides it may be mis-set. See http://phdwebsite.powerpulse.cc/Phon.../S%2002-01.pdf especially section B of the CDC installation instructions. Unfortunately the switch isn't pictured, but it should be set to "V" (vertical).

Thanks for that information - I took a look, but I could not see anything without removing the CD player. I assume that I need to take the entire unit out, correct?
Also, where is the switch located? On the bottom of the CD player? Thanks!
