CD Changer problems: please help!
I just installed a new Panasonic 8-disc, which works fine, except it skips like nobody's business.
I wonder if perhaps it has less cache than the 6-disc model, since it's cheaper.
I wanted to know what other company changers people have used with the factory head unit.
Thanks!!

Re: CD Changer problems: please help!
I installed a Panasonic CX-DP88U 8 disk changer in my 2001.5 1.8tqm last August, and have NEVER had a problem. I get access to disks 7 and 8 by going to the last track of disk 6 and have it roll over. i have read that there is a way to get direct access to disks 7 and 8 by using a combination of buttons, but it did not owrk for me.
As to your skipping question, I have not experienced this at all -- even on the 1.4 mile gravel road that leads to my house. My changer is mounted in the factory slot in the trunk -- maybe you have a defective unit?

For direct access you press 5 twice and 6 twice, but you MUST have the right PIE adaptor
You need the AUD-PC/PAN8 model, not the model w/o the "PC" in it and it must be grounded properly. It's themore expensive adaptor (about $50).
