Ok, my cd changer went broke last week, and finally took my car in for service. so the service advisor asked if i been using cdr/copied cds. then i asked whats the difference?
he said, because the size of the disks are different, that can cause failures. i was like "what?" i just said ok and let him continue.
theres no way thats true. if there is a difference, its probably like .001mm difference. is there some truth to this?
anyone have contacted acura about it or anyone have confirmation?

 

ummmmmmmmmmm....

 

Complete BS. If the CDs thickness was different, most CD players would not even play it. Your dealer is full of it. One suggestion is to contact the manufacturer of your CD changer (I think it's Panasonic) and ask them if a CDR can cause this problem.

What specifically was your problem?

 

first, it couldnt read the cds, both cd-r and non cd-r cds.
then, i took out all the cds in the changer, and now it wouldnt even take in any cds. just keeps on going in and out.

 

go take an original CD and a burned CD and shove them both up his ass and then ask him if he can tell the difference!

 

Now that it wont accept any CD, burned or original, just take it to another dealer. They should replace it.

 

Same thing happened on a family members Mercedes they wanted 750.00 to replace it I had it fixed for less than a hundred dollars.

 

 

But first take any CD-R's out of the car and if asked if you play them, say "No, I don't - but why do you ask?".

Maybe they are being told this by the repair shops.

 

i like my suggestion better

 

The manual says it can read most CD-R and only warns against using ones with labels since those can come off and jam the mechanism.

 

I should add that the above message is true for the 2005 Acura TSX (read the manual last night). I forgot that the thread isn't necessarily specific to the TSX.

Same thing happened to me and they won't fix the damn thing they say they have to replace it.

 

i've gotten it replaced twice--they also blamed it on the cd-r's

then I put in my Eclipse cd8051, no more problems
