CD-R for stock 01 Viper

[BobK898]

What music CD-R are you having luck with in the stock player in the Viper? I'm using Imation 80 min ones and having problems when I try to skip ahead to songs. Thanks.

I have the same problem with Sony CD-R 700MB. It can take a long time for it to reconize the next or previous track if you try to skip ahead.

I check the audio system once each year to determine if it functions.If it doesn't well so what?The only music I'm interested in comes from the engine and exhaust.The clock is a handy feature at times. GTS Bruce

I have the same problem. What Alpine model should I upgrade to.

Well...this is due to the laser not being powerful enough in the cd-player. The newer models are much more powerful and have memory built in to help with skips (can go into details about disk layers and metalic fibres if desired)...in short, get a new deck. I would try and find one with deck controlled pre-amp sub outputs if you could.

I didn't think it was the CD-R's I was using, it is hard to believe that they didn't put a unit in the car that can't read CD-R.

Have you tried a 650 MB (74 min) CD-R? The 700 MB (80 min) ones have a tighter track pitch, so your head unit may have difficulty skipping tracks to locate the track representing the beginning of another song.

Well, older CD-R used differnt chemicals than the newer cheaper Cd-r's. The stamped CD's are always easy. As well..heat is more of a factor on the new CDr's...

I've had no problem at all. I just use Staples generic CD-R's and they work fine.
