I thought the ones I recorded were mp3 but I now see that they aren't. So, you could just load them into your computer and reburn them as an audio CD. That'll do the trick.

I was having problems with cd burned from my computer in either format playing in my corvette bose radio cd with out cd changer.So after talking to people from this forum and Dennis at Double D MODS.I bought Ipod adapter kit pxdp and pxhgm4 .This wire harness and adapter which plugs into wire harness in back of bose stock radio with out 12 cd changer.It allows me to plug in Ipod and play music using radio controls vol,fastforward etc.I also charges Ipod.With directions on DD web site it took me about 1 hour going slow nervous about messing things up.I think it cost around 89.00.alot cheaper than new radio and keeps the original look . ( Ipod put in glove box out of sight )So give Dennis at Double D Mods a call.Hope this helps you.

He means that music from the smartphone can be sent via Bluetooth to a the car stereo (if you install a Bluetooth capable head unit). The systems in my Corvette and Baja can do this but I usually use the iPod since the head unit displays the album/song info and has iPod-like controls.

mp3s burned onto cds don't always play--- cd players back in '98 were finky as to the type of cd that the songs were recorded on, and the precise manner in which they were recorded. just get the pac adapter-- it's cheap, and it's easy to install (just yank out you passenger accessory panel and run the wire under the passenger seat).
Plus, you get the added bonus of being able to use any phone, pda, or mp3 player with your stock system, and not limited to just a 700 meg cd.

I have an Iphone 4 connected to my stock Bose cd player with the Peripheral adapter. http://shop.doubledmods.com/Peripher...ter-ipodc5.htm
Not only do I have hundreds of songs I can listen to with the ipod part of it, I have SIRIUS, Pandora, you tube and thousands of other stations with apps. My cd player is collecting dust.

All you need is an analog input to the headunit, then you can use any MP3 player to plug it into since your really only sending analog output to the head. Many use the CD changer input at the back with an adapter but if your headunit has a cassette (that you never use), there are connectors for that or even wireless that you tune to an empty FM station.
