I have had 2 8454 and several other Eclipse and never had a problem. Sounds like something is wrong with it.

I have to insert a reglar disc, then stick in a burned one....

I use Itunes to burn the discs (CDR) and they are not accepted. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Are you getting your music from iTunes?

If so - aren't those .aac files?

Continuing on....will the 8454 decode .aac files?

CDR burns are like an audio cd that is universally readable...

you can also burn in MP3 off of itunes and it won;t read it.

I did not secure the externl brain, i just left it behind the dash loose...

Ok - you're using iTunes as your utility to burn .cda files then. I read it simply as you're using iTunes to burn to CD-R media (as everyone is either using CD-R or CD-RW discs it never occured to me you meant something else)

As I have no experience with Eclipses HUs I don't know if the external brain not being mounted solidly would have anything to do with your issue but I can't imagine it being a good thing having it rattling around loose behind the dash...

Hitting the reset problem solved my 8454's problem reading burned CDs. It will clear all of your settings though, so you might want to write them down.

I changed my battery recently and lost all lthe settings, and it still won't read CD-Rs.

Whurr is the reset button? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blush.gif.99bc659ee2012b7d826165e26fb5eebe.gif

It's on the front. A little hole you have to push a paper clip into.

My GF's burned a few discs from iTunes and they work fine on mine.
