Can't play DVD music - TL 2006
Hey guys,
I recently bought an Acura TL 2006, and I have trouble using the DVD audio to play music. I have a bunch of songs on my computer, that I want to be able to play in the car.(Songs are produced by me, don't give me the illegal downloading talk please). I google searched the topic a bit, downloaded a bunch of software that claims it can make DVD audio discs(Matrioshka, DVD Author and all of those) I got a few viruses on my computer, but nothing works. Every burned DVD comes up in the car as invalid format. The last thing I read was that the radio reads only WAV files, so I converted my songs to the WAV format and again burned them on DVD audio disc using Roxio disc creator - again the same story "Invalid format". Having burned 10+ DVD discs with different software I kind of lost hope that I will get it to work, but I figured I will do a last try and ask in acura forum. Any idea how to make a proper disc that my car would be able to play? I bought a cassete with AUX cable which kind of works playing off my phone, but I much rather have several discs in the radio than dealing with phone connections cables and all of those stuff. Thanks for you answers in advice!

I might be wrong as I have '08 TL, but the radio supports DVD only in "DVD audio" format. Confusing part is that it's actually separate format, like mp3 and wav . It's pretty much dead, doesn't support compression, support 5.1 sound.
From my experience DVD audio disk 4.7gb can hold similar amount of songs as 700mb cd with 320kb/s mp3 disc. So if '06 supports mp3 files, use Cd'-RW disc (one that can be erased, if you want to add/delete songs in the future).
You can also give a try to Adobeman's DVDA. It didn't work on my Windows 10, forcing me to use Windows XP in the virtual machine.
It's slow and sometimes fail for unknown reason but I created couple disc (before putting nexus tablet in my car). There's a Adobeman's thread somewhere in this forum. Try search.

I actually solved the problem.. The solution was in the type of DVD disc. Apparently I first both DVD+R discs, and the car doesn't like them, so no matter which software I used it came up as invalid. I read another discussion online about the problem, and one guy said that some dvd players play only DVD-R discs, I decided to try went in my nearest store and got DVD-R discs the first disc I burned worked!

What software did you use? Did you end up with a few really high quality songs or a ton of mp3 quality songs? I've been trying to unlock this for a while and I'd pretty much given up until I saw this thread. I'm not really all that interested in the high quality DVD Audio format, as previously said, it's pretty much dead, but I have a tens of thousands of songs, and it all fits onto less than a dozen DVD's... it seems like a no brainer to burn a few disks and have them available in the stock radio, barring that I'm thinking of going with a HON3, and then I can just play them from an iPod/Phone.
