I can understand that a CD changer does live in a harsh environment (cold in the winter/hot in the summer), but I surely would have expected the Alpine unit in my 300E to last longer than 6 years for all that money!! Anyhow, the thing is taking ever so long to begin playing a disc, and there's staticy sound coming from the speakers when the disc is playing which I suspect is a dirty laser lens. Do any of you have any good methods of getting these things to function better? I really don't want to have to purchase another one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
