Factory Radio Questions

[nismo270r]

Hey all...I was wondering if the factory CD player from a '96 240SX SE would work in a S13 that came with the factory tape player and the active speaker system?  Thanks!

I asked a Nissan mechanic once, he said yes. I think all you'd need is a wiring harness. Now the problem with S14 factory CD players is that they won't play burnt CDs and they skip a lot. Am I right?

mine played burnt cd's and it skipped when it was cold

[nismo270r]

As far as I can remember it played burnt CD's okay. &nbsp;I don't remember having too many skipping problems. &nbsp;I'll probably take it apart and clean it before I send it on it's way to it's new owner. &nbsp;I'll probably up in the Chicagoland area soon enough again for some reason or another...maybe even just to drop a radio off. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

itll play burnt cd's as long as you record it at a slow enough speed.. &nbsp;i usually had to burn cds at 2X.. &nbsp;but mine didnt skip at all.. &nbsp;when it actually played the cds =P

i have the 96 se with the cd/tape player and i burn cd all the time at 4x. &nbsp;the only time they skip is when you are driving and hit major bumps.

:biggrin: So I'm wrong. When are you coming to Chicago, Nismo?!?!

Yeah, I second the burnt cd thing. &nbsp;All I have ever owned are burnt. &nbsp;And it played perfect, after bieng burnt at 12x, and I really dont recall skips.

why dont u just get an aftermarket that plays CDRW?
they are very cheap now..... =)

You people may laugh, but I actually like the look of the stock Nissan one. It's nice and simple and black. I don't really like all the shiny stuff.

i had a stock nissan cd player before, n it wouldn't play the cd's well at all if it had just rained really hard or if it was cold outside,mostly just when it was cold n raining though. sounds like it was just mine, n oh yeah, it didn't play cd-r's half the time.

Well, I could probably come up there on the weekend in a couple weeks or so. &nbsp;I'm kinda busy with school right now. &nbsp;Or I could make you drive down here to get it...MUAHAHAHA! &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Or I could just take this offer a friend has made to give and install his for $30.00 (It's Sony, but it's red and shiny.)

[nismo270r]

Well jeez! &nbsp;For 30 bucks! &nbsp;Go for it! &nbsp;You can still have my factory CD player if ya want. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
