I know that there is an audio forum but I thought that my question would get better response here (flame suit on), and some of you might have had personal experience with what happened.

Just this evening my factory Bose will not switch tracks or eject the CD. The radio works fine, but on the CD setting it just plays. Pressing forward or back will change the track numbers on the display but does not advance to the next (or previous) song. Also, nothing happens when the eject button is pushed.

Any ideas are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

time to take it out of the car, take it apart, and search for broken solder around the resistors...

no its time to get an MP3 deck installed dude, cmon its 2007 man, not 1997

 

1.Disconnect battery

2.Wait a little bit

3.Reconnect the battery

Once you start the car, it should spit the CD out. Ive had this happen to me multiple times

 

Thanks for the help guys. Got it out ok and everything seems to be working fine now. Although, as recommended, I will look at upgrading to Pioneer or Alpine as the Bose may be on it's last legs.

Thanks again.

 

take the **** of a baseball bat and smash that cd player a little bit. Show that thing who is boss

 

Bose is hungry

 

dude... i've heard good things about the bose "baseball bat smash" mod... i hear it works wonders!!

 

i jus bought a 97 maxima. n the radio didnt want to work right at all. if i put a cd in it didnt read it. it was only coming out of one speaker. but if i pushed on the radio face i cud get it to work a lil, but when i let off it went back. so i took it out n im puttin my alpine in. but wit the bose how do i bypass the amp?

 

From what I've read here you can't use the bose speakers with aftermarket systems.... so there no bypassing the bose amp

 

actually if you hardwire the speaker right to the terminals instead of using the harness you can bypass the amp

 

that is all.
