The stock (CD & Casette combo) in my 1999 GL model would rather eject the CD's than play them. It either ejects them outright. or takes them in and makes noise, then rejects them. If I try multiple times it does the same thing. Waiting a few minutes and trying again sometimes works.

And this is on a car that for all practical purposes is new. It has ~21,000 miles on it and it was my mom's car before I got it, and I doubt that she even used it. And it's not like there was a little kid showing crap in it, etc.

Other than Loonie's comment about them being "tempermental" I haven't found any mention of this problem here.

That and when I search places like Crutchfield, I don't see dounbl DIN units for this car even listed, and all the single DIN ones I've seen posted do look like crap (from the picture thread).

This is my backup car, so I'm really not all that interested completely redoing the stereo system either.
