Sony CDX-MP30

Ive had the Sony Xplod CDX-MP30 for over a year now and it started going loco on me. Sometimes it will start jumping around a song like trying to figure out where its supposed to be playing. During this, theres no music of course. Im thinking it might be a dirty lens?? Sometimes it wont read cds, it will just say error and spit the cd back out and then i put the cd back in and it will read it... What do you guys think? Thanks in Advance:)

You don't really want to thank me in advance. I will tell you the truth of the problem. You found out why most anyone really into car audio tells you Sony just plain sucks. They use cheap parts to make equipement, that is why it is starting to give

What brand do you recommend in my next purchase?

be careful w/sony, they try to make something for every budget, so stay away from the cheap end. use your warranty to replace/repair it. I don't really f?ck w/sony for speakers or amps, even though their amps are middle road ok, but their HU's are usually on point.

I recommend pioneer or alpine
