Does it damage the cd player slot or face

I don't think it will damage and I had no problem with it and only thing that is how much screwing to tight cd slot and it won't damage though I had no problem at all

It does damage the CD drive. It damaged mine's, and I drive a standard Honda Civic. Made my dashboard all warped looking. Avoid.

This mount is designed to insert into the CD and spreads open to securely hold in place. The jaws are rubber coated and will not scratch the opening. That is not how I am using it however. In the Mini cooper the dash has panels that this mount can fit into right behind the steering wheel. This mount can securely fit between those panels without damaging them as well. Now I can use my phone as a gps or extra gages using the torque app and the positioning is very convenient. Hope this helpsChristopher Young

It does not appear to do any damage to the CD slot on my 2006 Acura TSX. I really love this holder - one of my best purchases in a while.

I have a 2005 outback and it did break my CD drive. I use my phone for music anyway.

If left in for extended amounts of time, the plastic around the slot will start to warp. I always remove mine when I am getting out of the car. It's not really permanent damage, and it depends on the set up of your cd slot and console in your car. The dust protectors made of fabric in the cd slot will get slightly deformed, but again this is not really considered damage. If I had a brand new car, I might think twice before using this product.

No it does not. If there should be a problem, just put it in the other slot, DUH!

No, but there are 4 different sizes of adapters for different size CD slots. Works better than screwing it in if you ask me. Less hanging down from the bottom of the unit blocking the screen (if you have a top mount cd slot)

Mine is the same model as below. I would not recommend this model. The function and CD player buttons are ONLY on the remote. If you loose the remote, the system would be worthless. Also, I've had the CD player quit working on me twice already, within the first year. So far, I can unplug it and plug it back in and it will start working again, but it doesn't bode well. Good luck

There is a bolt that that when turned spreads the part in the cd slot apart making it sit tightly in the slot. I just turned it until the unit was secure in the cd slot.

I don't use CDs anymore, so hadn't tried. But FOR YOU, I just went out and put one in. It played without the mount in place, I then put the mount in place, and it still played. So the answer seems to be YES it will play with the mount in place. However, you will have to take out the mount to take out the CD or put another one in.

I dont have one on mine and have not seen any damage to it. I have had it for over a month.

I have no problem like that with the one I bought. you should contact the manufacturer or heartland. I had a problem with my cd player (it was cosmetic but i did not like it) and they replaced it no problem and quickly

Yes it has a detatchable face plate.. its easy to take off some what akward to put back on. it also doesnt come with a face plate case but is a great cd player

No. I would not try it because it could damage your radio. Most CD radios these days have a SWR meter built in to use to tune it.

Yes. You need to take it out in order to change the CD, but the player will still work as this is not inserted far into the front of the slot.

In mine, yes, it works in either direction. But that might not be true of all CD players.

The tabs that go into the CD player are rubber, so I think the likelihood of it doing any damage to your CD player is very small. It is quick and easy to remove (and put back in). There are three tabs that are what you might call spring loaded. Two point slightly up and one points slightly down. You flatten them out to insert into your CD player and the spring tension (the 'desire' of the tabs to go back to the slightly up and down position) is what holds the unit in place. The thing I really like about it is the handle is pretty small, so it is unobtrusive when there is no phone in it (compared to other holders).

in most cases, yes, since it only sits on the slot's opening. put the CD, then install. to get the CD out, uninstall first, then pop the CD out. to test your, pop a CD into the slot, then insert anything on the opening up to an inch and see if the CD does not get disturbed.

Every several months, my cassette deck rejects the device. What I do is keep the music playing, then keep putting it in a few times until it accepts it. It's been maybe a year since I've had to do it. I would try cleaning the cassette deck if it. I don't see how this thing could destroy a player unless you are being really rough with it.

No. An honestly I bought two of these and they lasted only a couple weeks and would no longer okay any CDs. And my son was not rough with them. Really poor product.
