I am currently using RiTEK cd-r's from newegg, which are supposed to be pretty good. I'm not sure if different brands matter, but I will try discs from different manufacturers (pro-disc, CMC, and even the expensive Taiyo Yudens) to see if it works...
Thank god my new coupe has a cassette player, might as well forget about cd-r's and just buy an ipod or zen micro...

I just purchased some uber expensive Taiyo Yuden blanks, which are heralded by cd nerds (cdfreaks.com) as the best in the world. Hope that works.

I use the '01-'02 6cd changer head unit(Panasonic made I think?) and I have no problems whatsoever with CD-R's. Using memorex cd's and recording at full 48X speed. Mine also plays cd-rw's, something that should not be supported 
The old HU I replaced had this problem with CD-R's. I seem to remember using imation brand, and burning at 4X and had some success I think.
