I Dont Know If Anyone Has Ever Had A Thread Like This Before, But This Is Pissin Me Off, My 2001 Tl Came With A Stock Cd Player, And It Doesnt Play Cdr's, Sometimes It Does But Half The Time It Doesnt, I Dont Know If Its The Name Brand Of The Cdr Or Not But I Own A $20k Car And It Doesnt Play Cdr's, Mine Doesnt Play Tdk Cd's I Burned Them At 52x, Dont Know If Thats One Reason Why It Doesnt Work But, Damn. It Play Some Cdr's But Half The Time It Just Doesnt Work. Frustrated Damn Straight. Anyone Have The Same Problem??? WHAT CAN I DO?? Give Me Your 2 Cents.

 

Do a search, you'll find a per week.

 

burn it at a slower speed should work after that.

 

get a aftermarket HD

 

for me it doesn't matter how fast i burn them or what media i use, it still takes a couple of mins to play. reg. cd's are fine.

 

it doesnt matter what brand or how fast, the player just doesnt like cd-r's you may find a brand that plays fine, but the next time they wont play. your best bet is to either get the headunit replaced or to get a aftermarket HU

 

how easy is it to get the HD replaced?

 

most have had the dealer do it under warranty (if still under waranty)

 

Try Maxwell Cd's . I Have Converted All My My Cdrs That Stick To Maxwell 700. If You Want To Spend More More Get The Gold Ones.

Please stop recommending cd brands. All major cdr brand uses different sources for blank media. So while one pack will work another type of the same brand might not.

Most Bose HU for 99-01 TLs have this problem and it's a very known issue. Acura will replace it underwarranty if you are still covered. I had mine replaced and my new HU plays every brand CDRs I throw at it. I also know one person who had their HU replaced but it still didn't play CDRs........so I guess it's the luck of the draw. There are many solutions to this problem.
1) HU replaced under warranty.
2) 02-03 TL 6 disc HU, make sure you didn't get the CL HU because they look the same but won't work in our TL.
3) Acura OEM CD changer
4) Blitzsafe adapter w/ compatible CD changer.
5) After market HU

 

I Don't Think Anyone With A 99tl Still Has Warranty

 

Extended Warranty 7yrs/100k
