Hi all,
I have a 2002 Corolla and above the stereo -- you have two vents for
heat/AC.
I've removed the OEM stereo (tape player) and put in a Sony model CD
player. I've noticed though when the AC is ON and playing a CD -- the
CD eventually skips because the AC chills the CD. I know this sounds
odd but you can eject the CD and it's ice cold to the touch. I would
imagine since the CD generates heat and the AC is so cold -- it
creates condensation on the CD.
I guess my question is...
How would one prevent it? Any idea(s)? |

Your evaporator ducts may not be complete sealed and forced air was
probably blowing on the player instead through the vents. Find out
where chilled air is coming from and insulate that would be the best
bet. I'd leave the player as is for heat dissipation -- you don't want
to burn it out early with the heater on in winter.

John and VIP gave some pretty good answers. Esp look for a displaced hose
or duct.
Another thing you might be able to do: most new car stereos are 'double
DIN' and take up the entire opening. If you installed the radio (assuming
single DIN) you can remove the radio and turn the mount you used 'upside
down' so the pocket or blank is at the top and move the radio down. >> Stay informed about: 2002 Corolla AC & CD Player Question |

Insulation. Either around the CD player or around the AC duct. Or
both.
If you can't do that, then either don't play CDs in the summer or
block off the AC ducts leading to the vents over the CD player.
You might also want to check and be sure that the duct to the center
outlets is still connected at both ends and isn't blowing cold air on
the player.

I'll investigate all ideas. I'm pretty sure the air is blowing out of
the vents and not directly on the radio. It blows out pretty darn
forcefully so if it's not all coming out the vent, I would be shocked.
I'll play around with it. I'm not opposed to wrapping the stereo with
an insulator either. I live in Fresno, CA so the heater is rarely if
ever used... so that may work out the best.
Thanks for the suggestions guys! >> Stay informed about: 2002 Corolla AC & CD Player Question |

Wow. I can't understand why it wouldn't play. You'd think it would like to
be cool!
I can't remember. Did you say the CDs were moist when removed? >> Stay informed about: 2002 Corolla AC & CD Player Question |

Rather than wrapping the radio with insulation, you would be better off
wrapping the ductwork above the radio.

Caution, don't wrap the entire radio/CD player in insulation. It will
generate some heat as it plays and that heat needs to be able to
escape. Put a layer on the top of the unit, see it that fixes things.
Add more as needed but don't cover over 1/2 of the surface.

Yes, CD's have a moisture layer you can wipe off. Kind of like your
bathroom mirror after a shower. >> Stay informed about: 2002 Corolla AC & CD Player Question |
