Well, FujiFilm and Verbatim media certainly is top quality. Speculation:
often burners require updated firmware to be able to recognize the
newest media, which 52x is, but I don't know whether that is also true
of CD readers once the CD is successfully burned. I don't imagine that
its possible to update FW in an in-dash player, but it might be worth
looking for older media.

Are you Burning MP3 formated music. I don't think Honda Stereos can
play MP3 however I have seen Car Stereos marked MP3 compatible.

Go to Honda OwnerLink, give them your car's VIN number and read the
owner's manual for your car. That will tell you about the stereo.

I figured it out! The CD player had problems reading blank CDs that only
had a thin silver foil as the top part of the CD. I suppose the CD player
couldn't reflect the laser enough for it to read it well.
Using blank CDs with a thicker white top label does the trick, regardless of
the dye technology. Even placing a white cd sticker label did the trick on
my current CDs.
Good FYI for those who may have problems in the future.

interesting tidbit...

i also learned (the hard way)that scions w/ the factory pioneer stereo
DONT like paper labels... the tolerances are too tight, and the cd
doesnt want to come out

Verrrrry interesting! I'd have never thought of that...

Oh dear!

A friend burned for me a driver disc for a USB device. He stuck a
small white label 0.3" x 1.0" on the top surface. After it has been
running a while in the CDRom drive, the leading edge lifted and
whacked everything it contacted. The racket was incredible and I
thought the drive was disintegrating!

Fascinating. Thanks for posting the solution, Jason.

Yeah, that's a definite no-no. Such a label also imbalances the CD
(think of the lead weights on your rims), which leads to addidional
vibration that can damage a drive. The stickum on those return address
labels isn't so great, either, as you discovered. I'm not surprised it
came off under hot, high-speed rotational conditions.
