Mine is in the shop right now for the CD player.  Somewhere along the line, it simply started refusing to load CDs.  Not sure how long it had been broke.  Since installing the H-D MP3 player this spring, I hardly ever use the CD player.  I first noticed it puked one night a couple months ago.  I'd gone to Walmart on the bike to get a few things and happened to pick up a new CD while I was there.  I thought I'd listen to it on the ride home, so I unwrapped it in the parking lot, when to stick it in the player, and the lousy thing wouldn't go in.  Never had skipped a day in its life, though.

Like AK, I plan to eventually upgrade to the '06-style radio.  Just wanted to have this one in good working order to sell when that happens.

Interesting, I have never had a skip problem and I use the CD function just about every minute I am on the bike. Glad my bike can't read this or she would want to be like all the other bikes and skip to. [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

My cd player skips toward the end of cd. No matter what speed or what type of cd. Called mfg. and they said to have dealership verify and call them and would send replacment for the next day. I plan on having this done the next pm.

Mine seems to skip or stop playing towards the end of the CD.

When I jump on the gas really hard, mine will stop playing and then come back on after a few seconds. If I hit a big bump it skips or quits playing completely. Sometimes it will start again other times I have to change tracks to get it going again.

I have had an issue with those that I HAVE BURNED...however to this point, no issues with the factory issued CDs.

I think they're supposed to skip.   This is number 3 and all have done it.  Apparently, it's some kind of mix or shuffle feature that we're not aware of. [smiley=nervous.gif]

Mine skips whenever the hell it wants to [smiley=confused5.gif]
Sometimes plays good for weeks [smiley=confused5.gif]
Other times it's bad every day [smiley=confused5.gif]
Doesn't matter if they're burnt or bought [smiley=confused5.gif]
When it's damp in the morning it won't read anything when the cd's in [smiley=confused5.gif]
But as the day warms up it plays just fine [smiley=confused5.gif]
I dicussed this with my service manager and he just went [smiley=confused5.gif]

Take Care,

MP3 player works just fine [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I know we have been through this all before...I had the problem as well on my 04...went through all kinds of dealer uhhusss..

MY FIX... I went to the local audio store and bought a 20$ CD player cleaner.   the one that you put the solution on the disc ( the disc actually has soft brushes placed in the plastic ) the solution rests on the brushes and makes genle contact with the laser eye of the CD player and cleans it off... The players build up static charge from riding and playing which collects dust faster , even with the dust cover closed.  I cleaned mine off twice and PERFECT PLAY...
TRY THIS FIX FIRST. USE ONLY THE CLEANER DISC THAT HAS BRUSHES AND SOLUTION.
Good luck.

I have the problem also. Usually around the 10th or so track. I just thought it was the time, around 30-40 minutes in and it starts. I read in the owners manual, any problems send it to the manufacturer. I guess I'll ignore it unless they want to switch for a new 06 model and I"ll make up the difference. OHOH cant do that not enough speakers right?

A couple of guys have switched to the Harmon Cardin already (06 model) and I know of two more that are in the process right now.  Twolane has a very detailed thread on here somewhere regarding the changeover if you want to do a search.
