I actually removed my stereo and put in a new one (I do point out a cheap one from walmart more to see if it worked) because I had heard of these problems and the
CD player actually jamming the
CD's which mine had done from time to time. There is a kit for the wiring and another to allow you to install a smaller unit into the hole in the dash plus giving you a storage space below the stereo. It all looks really good, I may look for a better stereo at some point but this one for $30 is a
radio plus has slots for a usb stick or memory card with your music on it which is a lot easier that
CD's. It does have a remote but I never use that, far more distracting when driving.
My point is there are solutions to replacing the stereo if you have to.
