Are you using burned CDs or real deal CDs?

actually mine does the same thing. It reads some cd's, it can be burned or even cd's from best buy...and i usually have to take out the cd holder for a few second's and put it back in and hope it plays the cd i want..-__-

I know this might sound weird but make sure you have the CDs facing the right way up. When I bought my car I was angry thinking the CD changer cannot read CDs but actually I had put the CD facing the wrong way. Just a thought.

Agreed. Since my first iPod and Napster, the only discs my head unit has ever seen are DVD's.
