I just bought a 1998 Honda Accord and it will not play burnt cd's! Just wondering what the problem is and if it is correctable. I would hate to have to buy a whole new head unit just to play burnt cd's! Any help would be appreciated ASAP!

You need to RIP the audio tracks from the CD in thier native format and burn them as such. The head unit in your car is not capable of reading MP3, AIFF. .wav files, etc.
What software are you using? I use Roxio Toast (I'm on a Mac), if you are on Windoze, I'm sure that Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 for the PC works just as well.

yes, make sure its a regular audio cd and not an mp3 cd or whatever. also, make sure you close the cd (so you cant record anything else on it). if the cd is still open, a lot of older players wont read it. and finally make sure its a CD-R, NOT a CD-RW.

My 99 would play them, but very poorly. It would take 1-2 minutes for it to find each track. I found that it depends on the type of media you get, some CDRs would almost work perfect, but most gave me problems. I cant recommend a brand, because it was either the whole pack worked, or none of them worked. Eventually I gave up, its not worth the hassle.
I suffered with this for a long time then decided to buy a mp3-cd player. I would never go back to regular CDs after having an mp3 player. 150+ songs can fit on one mp3 cd, I havent had to endure listening to broadcast radio in a couple years!

i haven't had any problems in my 03 EX-L . i've bunred CDs for family and friends 2 of whom have a 98 and 2001 Accord, and they ahven't had any problems either.
i use Memorex CD-Rs, not the CD-RWs if that matters. Roxio came on my Dell and that's the software i've used. i think the write speed is 32X.
like the other's mention, be sure you're recording to a standard audio file and not MP3 or something. and when you CLOSE the CD, make sure you don't have to choose an option such as "allow to be read in other PCs". Roxio gives you a few closing options that can affect playback.

I suppose that if you have a Bose "stereo nowhere" system then MP3's won't be noticeable. :-P
I've had no problems playing CD-Rs in my current cars (MY: '02,'03,'03). The 99 Prelude played them fine too. I always use blue CDRs that I buy on sale on stacks of 100.

1. burn at 4x or lower speed.
2. Get gold on gold like Mitsui Gold CD-R.
