Does anyone know if a SAAB 5042585 (I suspect it's a Pioneer) CD changer is repairable? It skips tracks badly whenever the car has been out in the hot sun for an extended period of time.

When I pulled player apart I noticed the four rubber dampers holding the metal casing (for the cassette into which the CDs are loaded) had degraded and cracked, causing leakage of a white grease.

I would like to keep the car's original stereo and fascia, but I wouldn't mind changing the CD changer, however, I've been advised that I can't retrofit another CD changer as it won't be recognized by the stereo.

I would appreciate any advice you may have.

Thanks!

Thanks szucman!
I'll keep that in mind. It now looks like I.m fitting a new audio in the glove box' so the audio panel can be left original on the dash facia.
