Re: cd player
Dang, that's really bum luck.
My own experience has been different than Grumman's
If the burned CD has an adhesive label on it, it can lift or peel inside the
unit from the heat and cause a problem. I have seen it in my daughter's car.
Sometimes burned CDs can be a problem too if they are the older blue faced
disks. For some reason they give some players a problem reading and will
cause the player to freeze up because of a read error.
A complete disconnection of the power (battery) for about 30 seconds and
then when it is reconnected have someone in the rig flip the key on and
immediately hit the eject button.
When one got jambed in my daughter's disk player, we were out there for an
hour or two with a flashlight and a pair of tweezers poking and pulling at
it through the slot trying to get it out. Finally a combination of the
on/off switch, my pocket knife and grabbing it with tweezers (OR of divine
intervention) we managed to fish the damn thing out.
I have never had problems with burned disks in any of my vehicles - even
with labels applied - but I always buy CD Stomper labels.
The cheaper ones will peel off but I have not personally ever had a Stomper
label come loose. Oh, the Memorex clear labels are good too.
When you DO get it out, let us know what did the trick and what the problem
was ok :)
Good luck to you!
Oh one more thing..... take it to a different dealer. Unless it was logged
in, there won't be a record BUT when they DO fish it out, they WILL bill you
if it is the fault of the defective homemade CD.

Many, if not most, home/car DVD players won't play MP3 files off a DVD
disc. They just error out when they don't find the expected MOVIE.
However, JVC and some other company DO make a car audio DVD player
that WILL PLAY MP3 files. The JVC unit isn't all that expensive either
(doesn't come with a screen though).

Hmmm... I guess I must have just lucked out and ended up with one that
would... If I was in the situation of looking for one these days, I would
first burn myself a DVD of MP3 files and test it on the various DVD players
at the car audio store before purchasing it...

I've seen a Blapunkt DVD player for $100 at Fry's... Even seen one for $70
on the web... Probably better audio quality than the overpriced factory CD
player...

Hmmm... I guess I must have just lucked out and ended up with one that
would... If I was in the situation of looking for one these days, I would
first burn myself a DVD of MP3 files and test it on the various DVD players
at the car audio store before purchasing it...

I've seen a Blapunkt DVD player for $100 at Fry's... Even seen one for $70
on the web... Probably better audio quality than the overpriced factory CD
player...

The idea of taking a DVD int the store is a good one. It would certainly
eliminate the guesswork.
I see that you are pretty down on factory players but I for one am just the
opposite. I find factory players to be easier to operate without all the
blinking lights, flashing teensy little buttons and remote controls that
hide behind flip out faceplates that you can remove. When I am driving, I
don't want to have to look for that itty bitty button that is somehwere our
of reach or out of sight. I want it to be in an easy location that I can
find by the braille method. I like quality sound but am certainly no
audiophile.
One really nice otion on my my Libby is the controls on the steering wheel.
Once I figured out all the things they will do I really like not having to
take my eyes off traffic to change things.
