What's wrong with it? Try a wet lens cleaner.

Don't forget, the "damn things" are 8-10 years old and have lived a hard life with the FD suspension and heat.

Time to get an aftermarket unit.

As said above Drive down the road an throw it out the window. Most aftermarket decks are much better than the stock anyways(they just don't look... stock )

Yep yep.

but even the CD player in my 93 J30 does wierd things, too. It sometimes doesnt want to play certain CDs for no reason when they are perfectly fine. Maybe it was an early 90s thing

I usually have problem w/ 'burned' CD's. At first I thought the CD was all scratched up or something, but no...it's just the crappy/old factory CD player...

It takes the CD makes, makes funny noises, and than spits it out.

Thought it was just me, I have like 800 cd's and the damm thing will only play less than half of what I own. Tried cleaning it, cleaning my cd's.Looks like its time for a aftermarket . Any suggestions on some that match the stock interior ?

The design of cd player in the FD actually dates to the mid 80's - it is almost identical to the one that Mazda put in the Second Gens. This makes it an Antique by CD standards
