I wonder if these 'new' units are more cd-r tolerant?  or whether they are nearer to original spec.

I had the same thought.. only one way to tell, I suppose!

and it involves an oscilloscope I reckon

Or buy two and play CD-Rs for a while and see if the first one dies

I doubt they are, one of the key differences on CDR compatible setups (that I have found) is that the optical eye needs a setup which has an active threshold measurement for the Rx optical eye.....this is not laser dependent

Interesting website; if you're felling flush you can buy the whole top cd unit

Aw yeah, put a DVD 90 in a 2015 head unit, would that work? No?  Dam!

On the underside of the laser itself is usually a small sticky label with a KSxxxx number, or something similar

Worth looking at the number and googling that - somebody may still have some pattern parts or equivalents
