So i was going through my owners manual the other day and found out that the FC had the option of a CD player!! (NO WAYZ!) So all you fc stock cd player owners out there, here are some questions:

1.Can it play mp3?


2.Also are they bad about skipping?

3. If you have a tape deck/radio can you just pull it out and do a direct swap for the oem cd player?

btw this an 87 FC SE model

 

no (mp3 wasnt around in the 80's)

yes

yes(the cd player is a double din i believe)

 

Its a double din. I have one but it doesn't work.

 

I didnt figure it couldn't.. well does anyone use it?

 

i use mine, but, it can not even play regular burnt CDs, but its all good, it does skip a lot..but...stock looks good! But I am thinking about a Double din dvd player

 

buzz kill...

 

I use mine. It doesn't skip that bad. I play burnt cds in it all the time. Use good quality cds (sony).

 

lmao why does yours play and NakesFC cant? Do you burn your cds in wma format?
but i know it will fit right in place but as far as wiring goes does it plug right in? or do i need adapters?

 

I use mp3s and burn them as audio cds with Nero 7. Like I said. Use good cds (blank sonys). When I 1st drove my FC, the guy had some of his music from his band playing in the cd player. As for the adapters, idk. Why would they be different? Mine is a 88 though. Besides that, there's 2 different cd players for the FC. There's the S4 style and the S5 style. Mine's S4.

 

I have the stock cassette + CD player on my S5 TII and it does play burned CD's. It will skip over large bumps, but the trick is burning the CD at the lowest speed possible. I have found that this reduces the skip rate on my player tremendously.

 

I have an S5, i will try the high qualities cds and slower burn rate, i have been using "verbatim" disc, they are like 1000 for 10 dollars or something cheap.

 

yeah verbatim cd's are poop.
