Hi

My headunit refuses to play CDR's with RealPlayer files that have been burned to disc using Windows Media Player.

Is this a common thing or is it more likely ny headunit playing up?

Thanks

James

That is well annoying! New stereo it is then. Added to my average of 20mpg thus far (to and from work through a town) my first month of ST ownership hasn't been a great experience!

Yea don't use them, they get stuck

I played them fine for a while but was going to be changing the headunit anyway so wasn't too worried

I did get a normal CD stuck though, took ages to get it out

It's one of those things that some people have had problems in the past, and some people haven't - luck as much as anything. As has been said, the manual does say that it's not advised to put cd-r's/cd-rw's in, but some of this is down to any labels stuck on them potentially getting stuck as much as anything.

In the last year of the ST's production Ford replaced the stereo with a Sony one which only had one cd slot, but could read mp3 cd'd with hundreds of traccs on.

any CD gets stuck in mine- just have to press eject then give it a whack just above the volume knob and the CD comes straight out

great build quality lol
