if we have a CD already in player , can we use the player while the mount is fixed? Will it break the cd player?

yes you just have to remove it to change or take out the cd. i use it in my minivans dvd slot

In my car it's fine. I would assume yours is the same. If you try to eject the disk while it's in, the player is smart enough to feel the resistance and stop.

We played one CD and it broke. Sent it back... So I am not surprised with your issue.

You should be able to if you have not changed anything. I was not able to because I have a aftermarket CD player. It comes with directions.

There's a switch on the right side of the player that allows you to switch between cd & radio. If the button doesn't work then your player is broken.

No bouncing at all. I comes with additional pads to add thickness to the bracket if needed, I think I used one pad. It's the best holder I have ever used. The only downside I can think of is if your CD player is not near the top of your dashboard it might be a pain to have to look down.

Ours works fine; did read before we bought it, however, that other folks had issues with CD player

Yes, just play it two to three times first and then play your cd if it skips clean it again a couple of times. Depending how dirty... You may have to clean it ten times but clean it after playing your music cd. The first few days after playing your cd as soon as your cd skips clean it again. Might take three days but then it works again for a while. I haven't used it again now for a couple of months but it took me a week of cleaning every few times.

Plays fine in my boat, but now I mostly use a USB flash drive. I use a USB cable extension so the flash drive doesn't bounce in the unit, hoping that less weight would not damage the connection in the unit. If that connection has a problem, it's back to the CD and carrying the CDs.

Nope, used it for about 15days before it broke. Had to send it back. But it did not damage CD player.

We bought two of these and could not get the CD player to work on either one of them. They made a really loud grinding noise or would just plain skip or not play the CD's. If we put the CD's in another player they would work fine. I recommend another player. Go to Walmart - they have them in their audio section usually cheaper to.

Technically works, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you accidentally try to eject the CD while the mount is installed, you could damage the CD and the stereo.

If you remove the mounting disc the factory adhesive will be shot.... but you can re-use the disc by applying a new adhesive.. (epoxy, vhb tape, velcro, etc.)

It has an aux in so as long as your CD player has aux out (or just a headphone port) you should be fine. It was made for a phone/mp3 player to be plugged in and kept safe so the holder isn't large but you can leave the door open and just run an aux cord to whatever you are playing CDs from

Instructions say to eject CD to prevent damage. I haven't tried it so my guess would be no. This doesn't bother me because I always plug in my phone and stream music. This is the first use I've had for my CD player in years.

I haven't tried, but would think not since the device is installed in the opening for the CDs. It wasn't/isn't an issue with me since I hardly ever play CDs. If I played them a lot, this would not be the mount I would choose. In all other areas, I really like this mount. It is at a good height for my GPS and works great.

This Pioneer player will not work on end. All the CDs would fall out of the cradle and into the machine. See the poster that when he was moving his machine, tilted it and the CDs got jammed. I don't think you'll find a CD or DVD player that will work on end. Most players have horizontal trays for this reason - the laser reads from the bottom of the CD. Old school technology but the best. Gravity wins yet again!Bill H.
