Since day one of owning our GXP Bonneville we've been having troubles with skipping. The car is going in for it's 2nd changer but to be honest I'm not too confident of the outcome. I'm not going to give up but I foresee us getting a $600 and them pulling the CD changer out. My alternative idea was to keep the changer and "hack" into the audio cables in order to use a portable MP3 player. Something as simple as tapping into the left/right output on the changer, while loading an 80 minute cd with 1 track of no sound (to keep the changer playing). I've tried the FM transmitter but the sound is very hissy and static while the cassette tape adapter has a slight but annoying buzz. So, short of replacing the radio this is the only option I can come up with. Has anyone ever tried this? Is there any obvious reason this won't work? Is anyone familiar with the trunk mounted unit's wiring setup in order to simplify this? Thanks for any help. Ed
