Radio problems

[rcw4235]

I have a problem with my 1997 Corvette. My Bose Delco Radio CD player will not play any CDs that I have burned on my computer,,, plays regular store bought CDs just fine. My question is,,,can I get any Delco radio off like EBAY or do I need to make sure it is a Bose radio? There are a lot of radios for sale. I don't know where the Bose comes into play,,,is it the speaker system or is it the radio itself? What do I need to watch out for,,,,,thanks to all

I don't know if you are still looking for help but I had the same problem with the radio in our Lexus. The radios are very prone to jamming if anything other than a store bought CD are played. My guess is the owners manual points this out. There are some brands of blank CD's that will play but be careful. If they jam it is very expensive to have repaired. The cost of store bought CD's is not as bad as a new radio.

The problem is your radio is too OLD. Get a newer model which will accept burned CD's - - anything 2002 or earlier should do it.

Rather, 2002 or NEWER. Good luck! If you purchase a USED GM RADIO, make sure you get the security code from the previous owner!
