Not sure about anyone else, but i replaced my factory head unit early in the game, (still works if anyone wants to purchase), My alpine head unit works great excluding CDs'. Every vehicle I've had has been heck on them. 84 vette, 86 3/4 Burban. so i figured its the ride that tears up the CD capabilities. The Alpine works great for the Ipod and radio, no problems yet. But each head unit in my cars stopped playing CDs. JVC, Sony, Alpine. Under the dash does have a bit of dirt on it, so it is likely for the dirt to be effecting the player.
