When I'm driving for more than 30 minutes at high speed and its hot outside, my CD player just stops. It sometimes pauses for 2 - 3 seconds then continues, or other times, it goes to the next CD.

Anyone know why?

 

Do you have the heat on? It could be the unit itself is getting hot.

 

no heat. AC on.

 

Are you sure its not because you hit a bump?

 

My CD player acts up after 15 mins or so as well. It starts skipping and distorting the sound, or refuses to play CD 5 and skips to 6 etc.

 

Yes, I'm very sure. Its when the car is running for over 30 minutes. Just stops and starts. Not sure if its a fuse or what.

maybe because it's overheating?
