Hi. I just purchased a 2006 town and country which has the RAZ model radio and cassette in it. Now, for some reason it will not play ANY NEW COPIED CD's at all. I've tried 6 different brands. CDR, CDR-MUSIC, silver backs, blue backs etc etc etc. All are 80 min 700MB. STANDARD discs. I have even used multiple copying programs and even tried disc at once vs track at once, etc.

Now, what I find strangely odd is that I found an old CDR that was already made from 1997 and another one from 1998 both which are 650mb and 74 minute and they work PERFECT.

This is completely weird.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Or have the RAZ radio system and uses copied CDRs and can tell me exactly the type of CD's that you purchase?

 

NO: 08-11-00 SUBJECT: Recordable Compact Discs Used in Automotive CD players DATE: March 24, 2000 DISCUSSION: Some recordable compact disc media, such as CD-R and CD-RW, may not comply with the standard CD format used in automotive CD players. When these CD's are used, customers may encounter error messages, skipping, or delaminating of the labels, which can cause an eject failure. It is important to question whether these kinds of CD media are being used. When customers encounter these symptoms, check the system with a known playable CD. Explain that the media may not be compatible with some automotive CD players. Replacing or exchanging the CD player will not address these issues. POLICY: Information Only

 

Ok. I see it saying Some.... not to mention this a reply from 2000. its 6 years later(car wise), im assuming chrysler isn't using the exact same radio from that era? I find it very difficult to believe that a car made in 2006 has a radio put into it that is like a 20 year old radio? I mean just about anything from 2000 on will almost always play any CD-R media.


I guess my real question is this.

Is there anyone out there that uses a 2006ish RAZ radio system that has played COPIED media and if so, what are your discs that you are using? I shall buy those

 

I have been playing the disc on the 6 dvd/cd changer...no problems... I have one idea. change the music format on the disc....if its wma change to mp3...my guess would be the older disc copy was mp3. and use another copying program not windows media.
