- Maybe it skipped so much (that's a lot for an in-dash) cuz it's a Sony.
- I don't know what the numbers are, but I heard that Pioneer and especially
- Kenwood almost never skip. And someone I know has a Pioneer 6-disc-changer
- that is only resting on a towel in the back of a truck, and it never skips.
- I personally have a JVC in-dash, and it hasn't skipped in literally months.
- Well, not from the car jarring; only because of scratched discs. The only
- times I remember it skipping were crossing between two parking lots that
- weren't really connected, and therefore weren't meant to be crossed.
