a friend of mine just bought this same unit at a walmart for his 1998 integra and it cuts in and out when he accelerates really hard, or when the car jerks from being downshifted really hard.

sucks dropping $180 on a deck that skips.

My friend has the same unit (4900iB) that he bought at Best Buy. Put it in my car, no problems. I talked to a friend that owns a local car audio shop and was told WalMart gets alot of B-Stock items and "bad" shipments. Guess it's true.

i had the same problem with mine...

i dont know what model number it was, it was the pioneer walmart special..

i had it in an offroad truck and it didnt have any problems with store bought cds, just burned ones.

never had a problem with mine skipping even with all the bass and potholes and sht i hit..

well tonight (~6 degrees) it started to skip when the car was at 2K rpms. i'm the problem wouldn't exist if i didn't have the racing motor mounts.

is this a reason to just return the HU and get something different? i never had this problem with the sony HU or my other alpine HU.

The overheating could be an issue, as most electronics don't like excessive heat, best suggestion would be to insulate the bottom of the AC-Heater controls... but make sure that there is still enough room for a lil air around the h/u.

could this "over heating" have caused the problem??

by Gibson5469 » Mon Feb 19, 2007 7:22 pm

exchanged it for a new one. no problems with skipping now.

the only thing I can think of is that the deck was pretty hot to the touch the other day. i was changing cd's and felt the cd was hot, so I pulled out the deck and sure enough the whole metal case was hot too.

My ac/heat leaks a little bit and it's right above the radio. With the deck out, and the heat cranked all the way up, the deck cage gets hot (from the hot air). Could it have over heated?

hummm thats strange, i have the same model, just last years design, and have never had a problem with skipping no matter how big of a bump i hit, or how loud my subwoofers get, i wonder if anything was changed with the cd mechanism in the newer model? I would definatly try to exhange it because some vibration shouldnt cause a cd to skip.
