just picked up a fully loaded 98 SE 5-SPD today, so i joined the ORG...

So far theres only one thing wrong with it, the CD player plays real cd's, but not burned CD-R's. It's just a minor issue but i was wondering if ne1 had ne idea why it does that.

 

Bose players can be troublesome. My volume **** doesn't always work right. Did you try different burned CDs? Sounds like you found a nice Maxima, especially with the 5 speed. Welcome.

 

Not all CD players can play all CD-R's. Try a different color CD-R or brand.

I've played CD-R's on my Bose without any problems.

 

welcome to the org!

 

ive tried several brands, and it says "CD Err" when it tries to play them....

also what do i need to do to take off the cheap looking aftermarket wood trim that the previous owner had on it, so that i dont leave glue stains all over my interior.

thanks everyone

 

Well the Bose is a moody headunit. Maybe it just doesn't like CD-R's and never will. It may also hate napster and limewire.

As for the wood trim, try a hairdryer and goo-gone.

 

i play cdrs in my bose all day long. i'v had a problem with the chep ones. buy ones that say music on the package. those have always worked for me...
bose really blows(pun intended) upgrade!

 

make sure its CDR not CD-RW

 

yup cd-r's not rw

 

I would def throw in a headunit now, but that would mean changing the whole system...i only own the car for about 6 hours now, so im trying to take it one step at a time u kno
