Does your car cd-player skip tracks or freezes while playing?

This is my Sony X-Plod series CDX MP40 and before I do this, I used to burn cd's, to listen to my favorite music everytime I had a long trip, but have you ever tried to listen to your favorite music while travelling and one or two tracks later an annoying ticking sound started it stopped and rejected the cd although the disk, was in mint condition!
Here is how I got it fixed,(a friend recomended this to me, not my idea but it works)

(This might also work for any other brand cd player!)

Step 1 Panel screws!

First of all you have to remove the unit from your car.Remove the one screw on the top and the ones at each side as shown at the pictures.
