My stock CD player works fine on store bought CD's, but when I play a CD that I have burned on my computer it takes the stereo 30 seconds to a minute to start and also between each track. The same CD's work fine in my 96 I30. This can't be normal can it??

I had this same problem. I came to the conclusion that it is the new blank cd-r's that copy at 40x and over. After 8 months of different kind of cd-r brands I said F$%^ and got a cd changer.

 

Ya, i had the dealer replace it once, then it started to do it again after a few months...i wound up just getting a changer and putting them all in that...they play fine.....crappy BOSE headunits.

 

i havent had a single problem once i switched to verbatim (blue bottom) i use roxio software and a sony burner. i always burn at the optimal setting

 

The odd thing is that the cd player in my I30 is also bose and is an older model.

 

i have the same problem as you... the conclusion tha i came to is ... THE TYPE of cd you use.... HIGH QUALITY is needed... as fsttyms said... VERBATIM is good.. and also the speed you record the cd at... try it out and let me kno if it helps...

 

Ok I will try those out. I am currently using TDK and burning at 40 speed or so I believe. Will let ya know if it works.

Thanks a bunch

 

spinfisher.. tryin recordin the cds a lil slower .. might help.. i usually record at 16 takes a min or two more... but PLAYS in my car.. well worth my wait

 

i have tryed several types of cd's in my TL all have problems. It sometimes doesnt read at all causing my CD player to overheat sometime from trying to read the cd for so long. I havent tryed verbatim yet but will try.

 

Yah i had the same prob... use better cd's and burn at a lower speed. It works for me

 

Heck, I thought since it said bose on it that maybe Bose made it and not Clarion. Am gonna email Acura and Clarion next just to see what kind of reply I get.



Hello Ken,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Bose Music System in your Infiniti I30. I do not believe the manufacturer of the cd player, Clarion Corporation, recommends playing CD-R's or CD-RW's in the factory cd player.

You can contact Clarion Corporation directly at 1-800-347-8667 for information on playing these types of sources. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you for choosing Bose Corporation.

I'm totally fedup and I do not what what to do. Does anyone know of a head unit that will fit so that I can take out my original unit.

 

I have an 03 TLS and burning CDs at 24x or higher is really the problem.....I used to burn CDs at this speed and the CD skips a lot......Now when i burn CDs at 12x I don't get any skipping at all
