That's what came with my car originally, and after some quick research it's a unit made & sold just in Japan. It plays original CD's no problem, and one guide I found said it's cd-r compatible, but as yet I can't find a suitable brand of CD that will play without fault.

A burnt CD I've had for about 6-7 years plays no problem, but I can't find that type any more. I've tried a few different kinds, but only a couple have even played, and even then it's a struggle to get it going. If I do get one to work, I have to leave it to run from where it starts. I can't just go to track 10 because then it won't read the disc any more. Ghey.

Just wondering if anyone knows of a cd-r disc that is very good & will play in just about anything? I only have a very basic stereo (not spending money on it if it won't go faster ), but it would be good to be able to play the sort of cd's that I listen to because they are all compilations, and it sucks having to listen to one artist all the time IMO.

Worse comes to worse I'll just have to buy a second hand one for like $50 that will play them, but with it being a double din unit in there now I'll have to get the gap that will be there sorted then

Anyone can help it would be much appreciated

jap headunits are weird..I've got one as well...plays original CDS ok...when I put in CDRs its very staticky and sometimes doesnt play certain tracks..

From Dick Smith's electronics I picked up a TDK audio disc that plays no worries in my car, give them a try if you can also find them
