Hopefully you can help me? My problem is that my car is still a bit new, but the other day, I was listening to a burnt CD and, I guess on the highest note (yeah, sorry, but it was Britney Spears), the stereo systems just gave a high shrill noise like it was possessed by aliens, and just died... I waited a few seconds b/f turning it on again, and listened to the same burnt CD w/o any problems for another good 30 minutes while driving home... I later went home and called the service advisors, who tell me that Mercedes Benz and burnt CDs aren't really good friends... I'd like your professional opinion, should I steer clear of burnt CDs and just stick with ordinary pre-recorded artists' CDs? Ugh, this is just troubling me... Hope you can help!
