Where to find anti theft lock radio?

    I have a 2002 Honda Civic EX. The radio is fine except that it
    doesn't play MP3s. I'd like the same kind of radio but one that plays
    MP3s and has the little anti theft red blinking light. I'm guessing
    I'll have to find it on eBay since everything now uses the detachable
    faceplate, which I don't want. Any suggestions on a model that has
    the blinking light and plays MP3s from a CD? Maybe a newer Civic
    radio?

    My CR-V built 09/2002 plays MP3 CDroms! It has the red blinking LED,
    though.

    Could you make a MP3 CD in another computer burner? I noticed sometimes
    different burners can't really create decent MP3 CDroms. I burn all of
    mine in the FREE Mepis Linux, http://www.mepis.org

    I did notice one weirdness, after inserting the MP3 CD and playing some
    of it, my wife reached over and hit the FM button.

    Then, no MP3 CD would play, until we disconnected the battery cable and
    that forced the radio to reboot from it's internal BIOS program, after
    which MP3 plays.

    Now, we eject the CD FIRST, before playing the radio.

    Remember, you'll need the radio code to put into the radio, after you
    pull the battery cable!

    Please let us know what you find out!

    Thanks on this info. That sounds like a lot of trouble. I'm also
    still waiting for the used car dealer to get the radio code. Who
    knows when that will be. One important feature I need is that when
    the car is turned off, the CD player pauses at that point on the MP3.
    Then when it is cranked up again, it starts from that point. It
    seems that every new radio on the market now does that. Does yours
    do that?

    I'll try another burner and post back. I'm using Roxio CD Creator
    now. Does anyone have suggestions for Windows?

    I've used DeepBurner (both the free and "pro" versions) for some

    FREE Mepis Linux, http://www.mepis.org

    "Windows"
    That won't work because it makes you add all of your files one by one.

    I think the thread is getting sidetracked. It isn't so much the
    burning software as finding the type of radio mentioned above.

  7. Is this a Hijack?!?!

    Yeah...K3B. NEVER had a problem with it making playable discs, and have
    stopped wasting blank CDs.

  8. Hey, thanks! Your suggestion made me look to see if there was K3B for
    Windows, and in the process I found LightScribe for Linux.
