kxap...
Yep... Your's is starting on the same trail mine went down. If it continues like mine, it will start rejecting regular CDs. I rarely ever fight the CD player anymore... When I do, it takes up to 20 minutes to get it working... or me to give up. It drives me insane!! I guess it is time for a true CD-R capable head unit... or the iPod as I mentioned before.

sucks about your guys headunits not playing CDs. The one thing I could suggest is putting in a laser cleaner. Go to any electronics store and you should be able to pick one up, it is essentially a CD with a brush mounted on it for cleaning the laser inside the CD player. Perhaps some dust or dirt got in it and is disturbing the laser pick-up. Just a thought. Sorry to hear your guys stock unit is crapping out on you.

my brother has a 972U in his Suby, and I really like it. I don't know how it compares to other brands in sound quality, I'm not real good at that. If you don't want to pay as much for the display, try a 572U, although I like the display on the 972U a lot (well not all those stupid graphics)
I think you'll generally be pleased with it, especially since it has a nice big volume ****

CD-R quality
Well I finally had the time today to do an analysis of why my stock HU wouldnt play cd-r's and I came up with this conclusion. It's all about the media!
Circuit city CD-R: wouldnt play at all though in the past it did play occasionally (see posts above)
FujiFilm CD-R: wouldnt play...played in the past occasionally..
Verbatim CD-R: PLAYS consistently! DAAAAMN I'm so excited now! I have to get me some of those azo blue dye discs.. they are the only ones that work each time I pop them in the CD-R.
Just thought I'd let you guys know in case anyone else has some problems.

Media Matters
I should have mentioned something about this before, but in All headunits, especially factory ones, media matters. In my previous Kenwood deck, it wouldn't play Prime Peripherals media, and a few other generics.
For my money, TDK is the best media you can buy, it has worked in everything I have tried to play it, except a few older DVD players. For those of you who have Costco memberships, it's also available there at a substantial savings. I don't use anything but these days.
