Default Homemade CD
Okay, so I have an '11 Ultra Limited. I made a CD of my favorite songs. I formated them .mpeg. How come I can't get them to play in my CD player on my bike. Do I have to change the formatting or what?

Did you make a data CD or a music CD? The deck may now read the data CD.

I believe you have to record as a data CD.
