Default Does 2GS play any CD-RWs at all?

Just wondering if the player is just picky or does it not play any CD-RW at all?
my system is the stock lexus premium audio (by Pioneer)

make sure you "close the session" when burning and it should work.

my changer was SUPER picky when it was in. Only thing i could get to it to play was cd's that were burned using NERO at around 2x

memorex, sony lots and lots if cheap cdrw . they all worked.
i usually burn with nero and windows media and i have never had any problems.
windows media usually closes burning session on its own after writing on disc is completed.
good luck

no i dont think he's burning mp3's and trying to listen to them with the cd changer.. that wont work for sure.

i think he just means cd rewriteables.. those, ive never tried because i never buy em. the price of regular cd-r's are so cheap that there is no need for the rw's
