Burned CD Format for GM Cars ?

[BlackDPlus]

Does anyone know if there is a special format or code to specify when burning CDs to play in a GM vehicle ?

My wife just got a Buick Rendezvous and almost all of our burned CDs don't play.

I don't mess with burning them, but I was hoping somebody could tell me what she needs to change.

Thanks.

It's an alignment issue -- there's a tolerance and the drive she's burning with is at one end of the tolerance range and the one in the car is at the other end. If you hassle the manufacturers they'll both say "our drive is within spec."

All you can do is change one drive or the other. I suggest getting the latest cd/dvd burner for her computer -- then it won't be a complete waste. Tell yourself you're only upgrading.
