My 2004 factory dodge cd player is a piece of shit too btw. It will randomly decide not to eject cd's for a while, it's always done it but it only happens a few times a year at most.

they are all different. you have to try a bunch of different types/models. either that or use GOOGLE.

a lot of stock CD players can't play CD-R's. My 2000 Wrangler stock HU couldn't really play them. It would play some of them, some of the time. It seemed completely random.

I'm not sure that there is a certain brand CD-R or burning speed/program that allows these HU's to play them. I think it's just if your HU decides to play it or not, as my experience showed me that it was completely random.

Time to buy a new HU.



sometimes I would start hitting the forward and skip buttons as soon as I put the cd in, and sometimes it would eventually work. you just can't hit any buttons after it starts playing

I will sell you a cheap head unit that plays cdr's, mp3 cds, etc etc and when you aren't using it, puts the face inside and just looks like a piece of plastic automatically

my stock unit has a hard timeplaying some cd-r's. verbatim's work for me and some REALLY cheap compusa ones, but others suck for some reason.

you have to find a disk with high reflectivity, otherwise the stock laser is too weak to read the signals.

got it?
