I took the vehicle for some maintenance and got the service dept (EXCELLENT) to update my CIP. I noticed that it asks for my phone as soon as start the car now, that's cool. BUT I'm not getting the MP3 CD's to play. It used to remain blank on the screen, now it says it cannot play or recognize the disc. I did the TAO, Finalizing, ISO+Joilet thing, but still no results. Is there another process? Why doesn't iTune MP3 Burns work? I have both Apple and PC, Toast Titanium and a PC Program called Sonic with the features the tutorial said to use. What's UP.........HELP Please!!!! Thanks...................

You may have a couple of issues...

Apple have their own format it is not mp3, in order to play the files they will most likely have to be converted from itunes format to mp3.... Having said that, what are you using to play the discs?

What wrong with my seat cover? I use it to protect my leather actually because I wear a lot of jeans with virgin cotton, saw it was strrting to stain the leather. I did set the preferences in iTunes. All of my data is converted to MP3 once imported. I burned iTune MP3's on my PC also. It just continue to say "medium isn't recognized" I'm trying another program on my PC. Still trying to work it out. Thanks for the replies. Anymore ideas?

The TAO thing should be DAO and the ISO+Joilet thing should be ISO 9660:1999

Maybe they updated the CIP but forgot to add MP3, they have to do that after they have updated your CIP !

Music you buy from the Apple iTunes Store is DRM and in the 'Apple Protected AAC' format. It cannot be converted to MP3 by iTunes or any other software. There is a workaround but it is messy...
You are allowed to burn 'Protected AAC' files to an audio CD (not an MP3 CD, an Audio CD).
Then you can import this Audio CD back into iTunes so you end up with 2 copies of each track.
The tracks you import are not in Protected AAC format now and can be put on an MP3 CD.
But along the way you will lose some quality.
