My car is Maxima GXE 91 with Bose audio system.
The radio works fine, but when I put a cassette in the head unit turns off. This is my 1st time using. any ideas!

 

Umm...It is a 15 yr. old head unit....A proper funeral is in order..

If you want to keep the car stock,then i would try the classified section for a used stock hu...

Or go to wallyworld and get a good aftermarket hu...

 

The cassette mechanism if fouled and drawing too much juice to run. The HU shuts down to save itself from burning up. Since you don't have much to lose you might try taking it apart and see if maybe it's just a belt stuck. My guess is it is bye-bye Bose time.

 

I know it's old as hell! I dont want to spend any $$$ on it because I may be getting a new car soon! If nothing can be done, I guess I am going to have to live with out the ipod hookup.

 

I will try that this weekend, thanx! I hope it's not bye bye!

 

Just use a portable stereo with cassette

 

i got the bose head unit laying around. you mite even be able to pick it up. or something. i lve in cherry hill which is like 15 mins away from philly.

 

can't say i've ever seen a 3rd gen bose hu with a working tape player

 

mine worked before i ripped it apart and made a custom wiring harness from it that fits my new head unit.

 

hey i can take that, give me a call 267-784-4235

thanx

 

If it has no Highs or LO's........It must be Bose!
