I have a 2001 LS430 with Nav & Mark Levinson audio system. I bought it last summer and I have found that it doesn't like playing CD-Rs. The CD changer starts skipping about a third of the way through the CD-R and skips more and more as it gets further out on the CD-R.
There aren't any problems playing store-bought CDs.
I got a head cleaming CD, and it didn't help.
All of my CD-Rs are the 80 minute type, and I burned them on my NEC-2500A DVD/CD burner.
I never had a problem with CD-Rs in the Nak systems in my '98 LS400 or my '93 SC400.
Any ideas? (Other than buying an iPod :D )
