i just got a 2000 accord 5speed coupe ex-ul model. i was excited about having a cd player in this car, but then i realized that it doesnt play my burned cds that well....does anyone have any clue as to why i can't get them to work.... My next question is ...i am interested in tuning my car up. nothing cosmetical, in fact i don't really want any of that flashy chrome crap or anything, but if i wanted to internal work, what would be the best route to take....everyone says to put exhaust on it, but i don't want one of those tincan things that the retards have at school..

 

the cd player wont play burned cd's almost at all. As for tuning if you do a search there are a variety of ways from h22's to turbos. the f23a1 is a good engine to turbo.

is your burned CD finalized??? my 02 ex accord takes some time to play un-finalized cd... and doesn't have any problem w/ finalized cds... goodluck

 

they changed the cd players with the '02 update...

 

oh yeah.. that's right...
i know for sure 01 worked.. my friend used to own 01..

 

my friend's 00 CD player too..sometime it work and sometime it doesnt.
it's the one without the cass. older style one

mine is 2002's cd and tape combo, play everything

 

btw link on my link and search under my user name for more info about boosting f23a1

 

hmm i believed my girl has a '00 ex and it plays everything without any problem or delay....

 

No problems in my '00 Accord.

 

I've got a sony cd player in my 2000

 

I'm not sure what to say about whats wrong with it, but I have a 00 EXV6 and the CD player has played hundreds of burned CD's with not one problem. Unless like stated above, they were not finalized. I dont know if there is a different stereo for the V6 or not.

 

2000 accord ex, no prob playing any cd

 

My girl has a 99 EXVL...Her CD player doesn't work at all....it started with just not working real good on burnt CD's but soon........................nothing!!!! All she's is a radio now!!!

 

try slowing down the burn speed that may help. Use nero

I thought that Alpine made the Honda radios / CD players?

I have a '99 Accord which has tape player; I attached an Alpince trunk mounted CD changer which plays all of the CD-Rs I've put in it (it was a lot cheaper for me to put in an Alpine CD changer than to put in a "Honda" CD changer).

If the Honda radio is giving you too much grief, just replace it. You can pick up a nice Alpine for ~ $100 or $200, if you don't mind a model year that is a few years old. Take a look on ebay for the CDA 7839 and the CDA 7863. Both will play CD-Rs without problem, though they won't play MP3s. I have the CDA 7839 in my commuter car.

 

so wait a min. how would i finalize the cd? so lets get this straight 2000 yr cd players will or will not play mp3's i want to know so i can burn a cd for my gf car right now

 

No, it won't read Mp3 discs. I don't even think aftermarket had Mp3 head units back then. The question for this thread was on burned CD's in general.
