What CD-Rs do you use?

I have a 2005 G35 Sedan and am trying to get the factory radio to play my MP3 CDs (burned onto CD-Rs). I am using Verbatim disks but the player says Check Disk and won't play them.

Am I missing something here? What brand CD-Rs has anyone used which worked fine? Is my cd player messed up?

Thanks!

I believe the G35 can't play MP3 discs.. You actually have to make it a music CD.

If you are making them real music CD's then I think your CD player is messed up. I've used everything from top of the line brand names all the way down to non name CD-R's and they've all worked.

It should play MP3 files since it has MP3 printed right on the face of the radio. I called Infiniti and they said it should also.

My factory radio must be screwed then. If I burn the full size music files onto the CD-R, it plays fine, but it has "Check Disc" if I burn MP3 files on it. I was hoping it was going to be an easy fix that someone else has done, but I guess it needs repaired.

Thanks for your replies!

i would test the CD on another MP3 player to be sure its youre car not youre computer. Just to be sure before you lose youre car for a day. See if someone around you has a DEDICATED MP3 player, cause youre comp obviously will, even if the head unit wont.

I've always had luck with TDK CD-Rs. I get the 52x 80min 700mb ones.

Anyone in Dallas around George Bush and Dallas North Tollway?

I have also tried the burned CD-Rs on my home DVD player, and they play fine on it also. I guess buying another spool of CDs is cheap, so I might try to get another brand and see what happens.

From my experience, CD-R brands dont really matter. Try burning at 8X speed.

check the burn speed, and if you're putting them in the 6cd changer in the trunk (idk if they did this in coupes) but the trunk cant play mp3s only the headunit.. just clarifying
