i have a 2000 TL w/navi
its the stock acura bose system, and it won't play any burned cd's
i tried different brands and also change the speed to slowest.
Does any one know what else to do about it?

 

Samething in all of our cars man. Some brands play some brands don't, you mainly have to get good quality cd's for them to play.

 

only sony works for me

 

If you have tried different brands, and it still doesnt work id recomend looking into a aftermarket HU or a 02+ 6 disk indash oem HU.

 

does any one burn with a
hp pavilion

 

sony and all other brands cd-r and cd-rw works for me in all my other cars
alpine, eclipse, kenwood, and pioneer
but the acura wont

 

I've had a progressive failure on cd-rs. Used to play fine when I first got the car in Oct 2000 (2001 model). Then certain brands didn't work. Now nothing except pressed CDs work.

I think the laser gets misaligned..and since cd-rs have drift in the tracks, it just can't compensate.

 

 

I tried all the tricks - different brands, burning at different speeds, etc - but in the end just bite the bullet and get a new HU. Pretty much any head unit you buy is better than our stock one, the only thing you have to worry about is losing the navi voice (unless you hook it up to the new HU - search the forums).

I put in a Pioneer DEH-8500MP and only regret not getting rid of the stock head unit sooner, and don't miss the navi voice at all. Actually, I regret the 8500MP since the sliding face plate is known to break (mine broke once, after having it less than a year), but I think pretty much anything you put it beats waiting 1min for tracks to change.

 

You should try Maxell brand. Its in a red and gold wrapping at Wal-Mart or Target. Those the only ones I have no problems with.

 

I have some old Maxells (red and gold wrapper) from when I first started burning CDs and those work considerably better than any of the newer ones I've used. All of mine will work but will sit there and spin w/o playing for about 30 sec. when I put one in or if I change tracks. I think the red/gold Maxells will work though.

 

i also used maxell cds...mine were gold though, and burned at 4X...they always worked, but the first time i use the cd it takes about 10 seconds to start....but after that its fine....havent used cds in a long time though....thank you apple

 

I use cheap RiData CD's and they work fine...

Deep

 

I too had the same problem untill i discovered MEMOREX "BLACK" all use CD-R

they are hella expensive but do the trick. it also worked on my friend's 00TL.

 

Get an ipod and a blitzsafe adapter and fuck cds!

 

I Second that, get a DELL DJ and blitzsafe adapter. FUCK CD's ill never go back after having my DELL DJ and Bitzsafe. Sounds perfectly clear. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

 

never worked in my car, after awhile None did. the best thing i did was got a different HU. Instead of wasting my time trying to find cds that worked, i was able to just use whatever brand i wanted

 

that's always a better solution....now i'm simply running the ipod w/ the apple fm transmitter.

btw... i must've been gone a long time ~ mod-madness i see?

 

im using TDK cd-rs in my car.. works fine...
