Default Need Help on GS CD changer!!

Hello all, Got some question on GS CD changer.
I burn my own music CDs to play in my cars. My SC has Sony deck so it plays burned CD, my IS300, Lx470 and LS430 all plays Burned Music CD with factory CD changers. But My 99 GS4 can't play burned audio CDs no matter which burning program or CD I use. It is very strange, since my older SC3's CD changer will play them.
Do you guys have the same problem?? If so, what computer program do you guys use to burn music CDs??
So I just better off change mine to aftermarket CD changer??
I have NAV and CD changer in glove box, so I don;t want to mess with it if I don;t have too.
Please help!

Me three and I'm a Nero guy as well. Try not to use cheap media, Maxwells and Verbatims work well for me.

I was thinking the same thing. Try playing the cd's in something, other than your vehicle, that you know is not able to play mp3's. If they don't work, then you know you need to reburn them w/o being mp3 files.

I have a 98' GS400 and mine does not play as well. I use Nero too. Let me know if you find a comparable changer. Thanks
