Bose CD-Changer Error
Tried doing a search but all I could find are rants about the Nissan Radio instead of solutions so hopefully someone can help me out.
My BOSE 6-CD Changer refuses to load CD's all I get is a beep (when in radio mode) or when I press CD first and try to load all I get is a CD-ERROR F0.
My car has 16,000 miles but I no longer have warentee (100% sure, car is salvage so theres nothing I can do about it). I heard somewhere that a company in Cali refurbishes the head units. Im pretty happy with the head unit and dont wanna go after market so any helpful suggested would be greatly appreciated. Have a great weekend guys.

Update: Found a place in Florida (http://carstereohelp.net/) that has the symptom on their site and is willing to fix it for 275...not quite sure if I should invest 275.00 towards a stock radio that might break (minus the 1yr warentee they give)
Anyone know of other places that do this type of work?

Quoted this from the faq's:::::
Why does my stock Bose CD player stop playing cd's after a while?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are running the CD player with the A/C on 65 degrees fahrenheit constantly it will sometimes make your CD very cold. When you change the setting from Radio to CD the Bose won't read the cold CD. Solution. Just take out the cd and wait till its warm and then start playing it again.
I found out this after many hours of long road trips.

It is possible to get many of the problems with the Bose head unit fixed, but the cost is never worth it if you're out of warranty. Spend LESS money and get a BETTER aftermarket head unit, if you want the best bang for your buck.

(Correct me if I am wrong) It should be under warranty to 36,000 miles... If anything see if the people at the dealer are human enough to fix it for you. They usually replace the units with refurbs so I doubt they loose a whole lot from the pocket... Good luck and my buddy also has the same problem with his Bose in an 04 Alti.

yea since, you dont have warranty, your best off with a aftermarket one, bose sucks,YOU DO NOT WANT TO INVEST IN BOSE. and its not quite reliable, my bose speaker fades in and out sometimes, and i know if i take it to the dealer, theyre just going to replace with anoter crappy bose. ive read about people taking their car to the dealer several times even after they replaced the HU a couple times.so im just waiting to get an aftermarket dvd/tv. dont waste your money on the bose, i guarantee it will break again, everyone in this org agrees. or you can get a non bose HU? not sure if that will work. unless you can fix it yourslef..but you wouldnt be posting if you chould.. well thats about all i can say to ya.

Man, don't listen! I just tried this and now my radio sounds like crap! I just checked the factory service manual, and it says you should NEVER put a screwdriver in your CD changer. It recommends using the Bose CD dislodger tool (available from any quality audio store) or a putty knife (the kind that you use to spread joint compound on drywall).

My warranty company said they won't replace to unit cause it cost 1850 which is beyond insane for that piece of crap. So they're sending it to bose for repair, 3 weeks of silence and deep thought during my daily drive. Could a straw full of salt water in the CD slot be all it needs?

Actually You are corrected. Bose does in fact make a HU, just not the one found in Maximas.
Furthermore Nothing in the car is made by Bose. Its just a rebadged setup for marketing purposes. Bose actually has very little to do with it.
