The factory cd-changer in my car is skipping every time I hit a bump. Is there a way to fix this or do I need to replace the changer? I have an alpine CD changer I was thinking of using but was wondering if I would need to hardwire it or does anyone make an adaptor? Thanks for your help!

Is the changer set to vertical allignment?

Yes, the CD Changer is set to vertical alignment.

Have you tried a CD cleaning kit?

To the best of my knowledge, you can not use and 3rd party changer.
