Why cant i play cd-r in my 2005 chevy trailblazer?

Question

It keeps saying check cd i tried recording at many different speeds is there a certain speed it will only read at?

Answer 1

No your cd's are fine. CD-R Is correct,. doesnt matter what brand or how cheap.

My fiancee owns a car auio store and i see this all the time...
The "deck" ( cd player) y ou have in your car... Most likely Just wont
Play the files you have burned. ( in format )

Are they in Mp3 format? Try WMA.?--- Play around with your Cd burner see what its doing.

Answer 2

Try a different brand CD. Im currently using Sony CD-R's but only because they were free. I found that in my vette(before I replaced the head unit)I had to burn my CDs at the slowest speed. I couldnt get them to work at higher speed. If your radio dosent say it can play MP3s or WMA then dont try to. Just burn them as a audio CD. Try a different program for burning. I use windows media player to make my audio cds.

Answer 3

are they high quality cd-r's? cheap cd players have trouble reading cheap cd-r's. Try a few high quality ones and see if the cd player can read it. (like a 3 or 5 pack).

Also, try cleaning the eye of the player.

are you burning mp3 files or cda files?

Answer 4

Couple things. Either when you burned the disc you did not close the session or you may have copied MP3 music to the disc. Most CD players only play .wav files

Answer 5

What everybody has told you is useless, most factory cd player WILL NOT play burnt cds. No matter how you burn them. Best thing to do is go with an aftermarket one.

Answer 6

Try using Sony CD-R's

Answer 7

try using a cd+r instead of a cd-r
