[THEGOLDPRO]

my stock cd playe in my 99 plays burned cd's fine. try and run a cd cleaner through it and see if that helps.

[Lex]

Also some people say that burning the CDs at a slower speed helps. Try using a different burner as well.

Do you get insurance money for the loss?

[Mazda96Protege]

Damn im sorry that is real ****ty

but yeh try running a CD cleaner in their....and also like also said above burn at a slower speed and mess with the setting alittle and see if that helps.

[95ProLeila]

Are they CD-R or CD-RW, some players don't like -RW

[blue LEDz]

after time, just about every stock deck will stop playing burnt CDs.

+1, I remember reading some tips awhile back about getting steel cable and bolting it to the floorboard on one end, and the back of the HU on the other.

[Lex]

Bolting it down may mean your whole dash will be damaged or ripped apart - so take that with a grain of salt.

The best defense is to show that there is nothing to steal. I always take my faceplate with me, I always leave my empty glovebox and coinbox open and I have no cover for my hatch area. Anyone who is interested in stealing something will quickly realize there is nothing to steal in my car by looking in. I don't even leave spare change in my car because it's been broken into before for next to nothing and repairs were very costly.

Also use some anti-theft devices such as an alarm (a paging one with a siren inside the car and backup battery is great) and choose parking spots well. Avoid underground parking and if possible park outside in a well lit and well populated area.

Those are just some tips I found useful from talking to people that have had the misfortune of cars broken into and stolen

[protegegirlie]

i try to play cd-r but it wont play i also put a cleaner and it still wont do...

[firelizard]

My car got broken into too, they didn't even steal my neons though, they just looked in my glovebox for money

[soccom2005]

hey imo it dont play certain burn cds cuz my oem one didnt play any kinds, it just played fujifilms cd-rs. sorry to hear bout your loss, didnt the alarm went off or sumthing, damn that sucked

[firelizard]

My OEM CD player only played one of my CDs, and it was one that I bought new. The rest it didn't read.
