it is quite common that older players will play "factory" CDs and DVDs, but not "home-made" ones.

you have more chance with a CD-R than a CD-RW.

obviously you have to record it in "CD" format not any other kind of sound file

I suspect that you may have burned the disk as an mp3 which your car system will not read.

You do not say what system you used but you need to burn as an audio cd.
