EK EX owners or 99-00 Si owners: Does the stock CD deck play CD-R's??
My cousin is giving his stock honda civic EX CD-player deck to me for free, but does it play burned CD music from a CD-R???
hmm I remembered sitting in my friend's civic Sicar with this stock cd deck and i think he played all his music from CD-R's...

It looks exactly the same as the below pics (Illuminates white)

it depends on the quality of the CD-R most name brand CD-Rs will play but if you get those blank cd's were the top and bottom are both relflective they are more likely not to play.

ohh, ok so like the better quality CD-R's like Maxell, Fuji, JVC, Princo, Sony, Memorex, ect. will most likely work to play music, while CRAPPY CD-R's like no-name or both relflective sided CD-R's will probably won't work on the stock honda civic cd deck.
hope my burned music on CD-R's work on that deck cause most of my msic is burned

AllMotorHB

all my cd work with the stock cd player. I use the cheapest cds I can find

CivicUnrest

yeah exactly

intezn

yes, without any problem so far

Amuse9

nothing can beat OEM Honda quality....hahaha

The changer is Alpine, the speakers are either Alpine or Pioneer, I assume the deck is Alpine too with the Honda name on it so expect quality.

this question is Off Topic, but how do you set the time on the stock Si headunit?

Mine plays fine. Even with the $10.00/100 pack cd-r's.

Not sure how different the SI one is, but for the 96-98 headunit there is a tiny button that reads clock under it. By pushing it in then hitting the up/down arrows of the AM/FM radio selectors it enables toggling between the time.

i think the deck's made by matsushita/panasonic

will that 99-00 stock cd unit be plug and play in my 97dx? will anything not work if i remove my stock radio? i read that if i do remove the stock radio only unit, my dome light will quit working. keyless entry too will quit, but i dont have that.

no it will not plug into your 97. you need a harness adapter, or you can cut your radio plug off and splice in a 99-01 plug.

big fat doubt it. all my burned cd's were burned on complete blank discs, with no label. all cd's are blank from begin with so what makes you think that they wont work? i know they will work, stop giving bad info.

and quality cd's? all cd's are cheap (did you know it takes more $ to make a record than a cd? ), they are just packaged nicely to look good and appeal so you pay more.

have a nice day!

mine does.

Are you for certain on this, as you have attempted it before? There shouldn't be a difference between the two, the mounting shape is just different to my understanding because the 99-00 unit are differently shaped due to newer a/c controls and center console.

underrated99si

Yep mine playa CDR's

I had to splice to get a 99 cd player into my 98 EX. The harnesses dont match up.

funky_cornbread

you have to get a wiring harness for the 99 cd player that hooks right up and also you have to get a adapter harness for the 98 and splice. sucks, what a year a difference makes. i did the same thing as well, 98 honda ex running a 99 cd player. the cd player will fit flush, just have the bracket to hold up the rear end.

most fairly recent (5 years) cd players play burnt cdrs

Jawad.

verbatim makes nice cd-rs

ridiculous

do any of the stock SI cd players have rc connectors in the back for sub hook up?

Paranoid Android

you hold FM and CD, the two should be right next to each other, untill your time display starts blinking, then use the numbers, ( i think its like 1 and/or 2 and/or 3)
to move the hour/min. hold the FM and CD together again, and it stops blinking and begins working.
