Symphony II+ problem

[erabe]

I'm new to the forum but I've regarding stuff on this site for a bit.

Recently, I had a problem with the Symphony II+ deck in my '07 a4. The CDs in the player got stuck and I received a Error message requiring service. Since the car is still new (< 5k miles), the problem was covered by warranty. They had to re-order a new deck and replace my old one (I can't get back my CDs for another month lol)


Ok so here's my question: I was wondering if anybody had a brand of CD-Rs they used for their own deck? The Audi people say that you can't use burned CDs on the Symphony II+ deck, and if you do, it has to be a certain brand. It was so convenient that no one knew what this brand was, so I'm hoping you guys could help. Another friend said to burn my mp3 CDs at a lower speed (ie. 16x) but I don't understand how that would help.

I don't like the Ipod feature in the dash because I don't have an Ipod =)

I would love to listen to something other than the radio. Any help would be great!

08 Avant for me.
I'm using Maxell CD-R; got my spindle from Future Shop a little while ago. Have had them in the car for 5+ months now and not had any problems and trust none will arise in the future.

Just out of curiosity, what is the burn speed you use and what program ?

[a4audi4fun]

Program is DeepBurner Free that can be downloaded. Just burnt another CD at 24x. no problems - playing fine.

I use TDK exclusively and have never had a problem in any of my cars including my '07 A4 with Symphony II+. That line they fed you is total crap, unless your CD is warped or defective (which can happen with cheap CD-Rs).

I always burn at the maximum speed (48x currently) of my computer and have never had an issue.
