451 smart fortwo

Just curious if anyone else out there has the problem of the CD player skipping tracks on commercially made CD's.
I listen to audio books as well as commercial music CD's, (not copies or ones that I have burned) and on some CD's it just refuses to play some tracks, while on others it will play part of a track then jump to the next one, and if I replay the track it may play all the way or skip at a different spot.
This happens even with the car parked and engine off so I know it is not a vibration problem. It has done it on brand new straight out of the box CD's. It does not do it on every CD, but about 75% of them.
The dealer tried some of my CD's in another Smart fortwo and it did the exact same thing, yet when they played it in the mechanic's boom box it played fine.
They didn't have a solution but said they would report it back. This was a few months ago, and was the last I heard about it.
Also, does anyone know if the CD-player has a buffer built in? I have an old portable player that would buffer three seconds of sound to allow it to get back on track if it got bumped.
Except for this one issue, my car is great!

DAVE, I did not use the relay. I wired the horns like it said to.. in parallel, meaning that from the (neg) cable that was originally plugged into the OEM horn, I put in a Y cable to the two (neg) spades on the horns.. then the same, a Y cable fro...

I have a question. Did you use the included relay when you installed the horns??? Do you remeber which diagram you used? I just received my horns and am going to install them this weekend. That stock horn is dangerous, I've been cut off several ti...
What about the Brabus main dash guage? Are you able to get that part too? It would be cool to have it matching :)
I bought mine from Denis along with the painted valances Saved big $$$$ over buying the pods here in Chicago and having a bodyshop paint the valances.Denis is great to deal with and runs an excellent business.
