I have a 99 Maxima with a stock radio/cd player. Lately I will play a CD and hear a constant "ticking" sound along with the music. I know it's not the CD because I just bought 3 new cds and they all do this.

So, is there a way to clean the CD player? Or do I need to buy a whole new radio? Comments or advice is highly appreicated. Thanks!

 

i suggest you get an aftermarket deck w/ the bose adapter and you should be set.

I had the same problem, and eventually it stopped reading CDs.

 

try a can of compressed air, DO NOT shake the can before you spray it, and spray it on your finger to make sure thers no moisture otherwise itll coat the lens.

 

you can buy a CD player lense cleaner at most music stores. It looks like a CD with a little brush on it. is it bose?
