I need help. I was wondering if there is any way that I can get my radio to play custom cd's off my computer? I have a 1999 TL.

MegaKillTron

It has to be a upper brand CD, meaning, not a piece of shit $2.99 clearence cd-r. These still don't play all the time on my car, but play more consistently then a cheaper brand CD-r.

SEARCH its your friend, this topic has been discussed plenty of times

I tried searching for it, what should I type in the search bar? Also, what kind of discs are you talking about MegaKillTron? Are you talking about a specific brand or something? Please let me know. Thanks.

Do a search for "CD-R" and you'll get a ton of hits.

Here's one example:

Basically it's a hit or miss proposition with the CD players used in the 1999 TLs.

i have read on this site and they have it. but the best one that catches the best is using the sony cd while burning it on windows media player. this will catch most the time. the longest i waited for a song to play was 5 secs. hope this helps.

Hey guys, I got it thanks a lot!!
I just put "radio" in the search bar, but I was selecing the "search whole posting only", then I changed it to the "search title only" and I got it.
Thanks Phrosttz0 for the obvious(LOL)!!!!

i have most work just it takes like 2 minutes to load each song which is very long. i just replaced it with an alpine head unit which was followed by the removal of all the bose in the car for new iterior speakers and 2 12" subs.

Newbie here so don't start flaming me for not searching through posts but the cd player in my wife's 2000TL NEVER has been able to play cd's that are burned by my computer and it even occasionally has problems with store-bought shrink-wrapped cd albums. Is the cd player in this vintage Acura just hyper-sensitive?

Thanks,

Doug

It could be from dirt in the car maybe. If you bought it from the dealer and still have warranty, bring it back and make sure it plays or get a new deck. hope this help. It might even be your burner. my suggest like up there is sony with windows media player. =)

Well yes the Cd player in our cars are a bit picky about what kind of Cd's it plays. I personally use Taiyo Yuden's, which are pretty good or you can try the Sony's or like Hp's too. Taiyo Yudens as compared to like the TDK's or like other brands like Ritek has been really good. Also I might suggest burning at a slower speed then the max.

or replace the headunit with the 6 cd version which I am in the processes doing

I thought I read somewhere that the support bracket is different between the stock 1999 CD radio and the CD changer used in the 2002-2003 TLs. Have you confirmed that yet?
