Title: Burned cd's and Jeep CD Players
Post by: 80malibu on June 21, 2006, 03:23:31 PM: I've burned 2 discs at x24 rate, as MP3 and .WAV files and the factory RBR coded CD player won't play them. Just get Err messages. Anybody have any luck or tips/tricks. TIA.

i'd just put a new headunit in that could instead of the stock unit.

as an added bonus, if your CB supports it, you can also use this to have your cb run through your deck... helps with the low mounted cbs with speakers out the bottom or back!

Cheers

Post by: Luxton on June 22, 2006, 01:47:37 PM: there's a sony xtreme deck that has a sub out as well as 4 speaker outs and 4 pre-outs...

I have an aftermarket deck and the factory sub is still 100% functional. All you have to do is hook up the remote or power antenna lead to one of the wires (can't remember which one) and it works as it did with the factory deck. Didn't even butcher the factory harness. I used a $10 adapter harness from A&B sound that plugs into the factory harness and gets soldered to the deck harness. 100% reversible by unplugging the harness.

Post by: fony3 on June 23, 2006, 03:14:24 PM: I recommend you look on ebay for a deck. I have got my deck, amp, sub, and amp kit for an eBay store called AudioSavings. I spend ALOT less than i would have if i got at futureshop/bestbuy/A&B sound.

Deck installs are really easy, you could do youself some more coin there!

Post by: 80malibu on June 23, 2006, 03:19:45 PM: I'm gonna check them out, thanks. I do all my own installs, mine almost always turn out cleaner looking, plus it's my own gear and I care just that extra little bit to not do a half a$$ job.

Post by: Matt4x4 on June 25, 2006, 07:17:44 PM: I just saw a DVD head unit at futureshop. You can burn a few gigs of mp3s onto a disc. JVC Multimedia DVD/CD Car Deck (KD-DV6200). I dont believe its a flip-up type screen. It just looks like a regular deck. I like the feature of having a 1000 mp3s on one dvd disc.
