burned cd's won't play in car, will in truck

Burned cd, (audio cd format) will play in 2010Truck, but not in 2006 Pontiac Vibe, why

Not all optical readers perform the same , some read discs better than others , I've had DVD's not play in one player , but play fine in another.

It may also depend on the burned files format... how many songs did your burn into the CD? +/-24 are probably in .cda format and should play, hundreds likely in .mp3 format, should play only if the player has mp3 capability

The 2006 Pontiac Vibe radio should play mp3 CDs.. so it may be the laser is getting weak, or may have some dust on the laser lens.

I burned in audio cd format, 12 songs....plays in my 2010truck, in my 2006 pontiac vibe, shows track #'s but no sound?

 

[Chicano]

As it displays the track #, I suppose the counter doesn't keep count of the seconds to minutes the track lasts?,.. to That wold mean it's not getting past the track #... and it would be the laser is weak to read more than the track #.

I have had this issue in the past and it's probably the format your have done your burn.

Right... if the CD was not closed/finalized that can cause reading issues... also if you burned the CD in several burning sessions. This doesn't mean burning this way would leave them unreadable but some readers may not read them flawlessly depending on the laser diode condition. For best readability, burn your CDs in Disc-at-Once mode to close/finalize them and get the best results.

Run the CD on CD checking software. if it contains burning errors the app should detect them.

My CD's that I burn all play in my car , but not in my girlfriends , but retail purchased play in both.

manually override the burning and do it at a slower speed. try 2x or 4x. also try a different blank CD brand. the older players were finicky back then, and situations did not improve.
