My stock Pioneer CD/Cassette/Radio in my 91 vert won't play CDs until its good and warm. This can sometimes take 45 mins to an hour. I can't take much more of driving around listening to the radio!! When I put a CD in, it will just keep ejecting it automatically (after trying to spin it for like 15 secs), or if the CD was already in there from last time I was driving, it will try to spin it for 20-30 secs (no music, just keeps trying to spin the cd, no track #s come up on the display or anything), then it will shut off. Does anyone know the cause of this? Any way to fix it? I plan on installing an aftermarket head unit when I get off my lazy ***, but I wouldn't mind having a working stock unit just to have it... Thanks.

 

at what temp is it having problems???

You do know that the CD is not designed to work at temps under 30F, right???

 

Yeah, its usually in cold weather (like under 45 degrees or so) but even in the summer it will take a few minutes to warm up, though not nearly as long as in the winter. I guess maybe its just time to put in my aftermarket head unit already. Thanks for the help.

 

Its like that in my vert too. But i decide to leave teh stock system and upgrade all the speakers.
