Stock radio and CD-Rs...
I know I've read a ton of threads where people state the stock CD player has issues reading CD-Rs, I'm just curious if there is anyone here who doesn't have an issue with them on the stock CD player and if so, what brand do you use?
Thanks

I used to just buy what ever had the most favorable $ to # ratio
Don't recall ever having an issue... and I kept my CDs in the door handle yes, they get ugly fast that way. cheap cds played pretty good, even when they looked like a clutch disc maybe their/your lens just needs to be cleaned or is nicked badly I only had the stocker for 2 years though

To answer your question Clint, I have had problems in some of my cars with CD-R's especially when the head unit has not been cleaned or rebuilt. I have found that a WRX 6 CD changer is a great OEM upgrade at a low price.

My stock player in my 94 will play some but not others. Sometimes it will spit them out but if I put them in a few times it will eventually take it. I have also noticed that if the CD is cold it will not take it but if I warm it up a little it will take it.
But while we are on this topic. I have been contemplating getting a a multidisc add-on for the trunk so that I can put a number of cds that play mp3s but still keep the stock radio. Is anyone using these units and what are the pros and cons of using these vs putting in a new head unit???? thanks Vic

When I had the 92 I didn't have any problems playing them other than the fact that it skipped like a mother f'er all the time. It was a combination of the crappy roads, crazy driving, and the age of the player though.

The panasonic 12 disc unit on euro and jdm models works fine with CD-Rs. It skips a lot though, even on original CDs.

One car has no prob with cd-r and the other one doesn't 'see' anything that is not store bought. Both radios are stock equipment.
