OEM JBL cd player problem

[crazy_canadian]

My radio seems to be uncapable to properly read a cd.
If it's a brand new original cd, and I'm parked on a pillow, it plays. Sometimes the cd ejects a couple times in a row.
Even the smallest bump makes it skip.

Is there any other model number that will fit and plug in into the JBL system ?
I think the player is on it's way out. Maybe I could find another one.
Thanks

Don't know if this is exactly what you're going through, but there is this:

I've got to say, though... even the newest of those units is 15 years old. They're all well past their designed lifespan. I think it's time to get an aftermarket head unit.

My thoughts as well, You could try to find a newer unit, or someone to pull yours apart and clean it, but you'd probably spend more than a new aftermarket would cost.

(I recommend Pioneer if you go aftermarket, I LOVE their radios )

My stock CD is beginning to not work properly. I have taken it apart and cleaned it and nothing has worked. New and used units off of Ebay are close to $80. As much as I want to keep my entire car stock I am finally leaning toward installing an aftermarket head unit in the car.

I put the slave CD player into my SHO out of a '98 Mustang. It has been working great for the last 8+ years. Burned CD's, old ones, ect.

I think they updated the internal technology between my original '95 and the '98 unit I have in there. It is plug and play.

I do want an aftermarket system.
But I want to install a 7" touch screen, and a PC in the car. So this project is for another time.
As of now, I just want something that works. Plus the sound quality is way better than in most cars. (stock JBl sound system, but with upgraded bass : 500watt rms subwoofer amp and 2x 10" sub in a sealed box)

So a 96-99 CD player from a mustang will work ? Does it says JBL on it, or anyone should fit ?

..not sure on years. It is visually identical to the slave CD player that came with the SHO's and is plug and play. Just newer.

It should work. Just make sure the display is the same color. I think the 96-99 Mustangs had the blue-green display like the Gen 2 SHOs have. My friend's dad used to have a 98 GT convertible and it had the same color display. I know some Ford units have the green display, but those may be in the Lincolns and the Exploders.
