Factory bose stereo static?
Some of you may already know that I own a 1999 Nissan GLE stock. I'm having a problem with the cd player though. My system does not have any static if i play a casette or the radio, but there is static when i play a cd in the cd player. Why is this? My Dad said that it needed to be clean so he stuck a cd in there that is supposed to clean it but we still hear the static. Any thoughts on it?
EDIT:Sometimes the cd won't skip to another song, it will just stop or say "error." Especially with the cleaner cd that we have used.

The Bose headunits are notorious for crapping out. Aftermarket is much more affordable and more reliable than the bose if you are experiencing problems with it. If you can't find a used bose at a price you like, I would start looking into aftermarket headunits.
Although I know you just bought your car less than 2 weeks ago, I would go back to the dealership and complain. Just me.

Well, the car was at 149k miles. At least the radio and the cassette is working fine. It all works out because I have this really nice cd player from my Prizm, and it would be great to have a part of that car in the Maxima. =P

The HU is made by Clarion, not Bose. The Bose part, other than the Bose name on the cassette flap, is the amplifiers and the speakers. Inside the head unit, the CD player on top is plugged in to the pre-amp board below. Some of these connections may be getting oxidized. Just open the box, find the connections, unplug and then plug them back together and see if that helps.
I opened my box several times trying to fix the volume control. It is not that hard to work on it.

Alright I'll probably try that.

Yea i have to agree with SVI on this. if the system is working with radio or a tape and not with a CD, i would guess its a connection problem. most likely somethign is just loose behind the stereo unit.
and a dirty cd lens wouldnt cause static, it would cause the cd to jump or not play at all. dont bother trying to clean it.
i had a similar problem in my accord, but it happened litterally 2 seconds after i hit a huge pothole, so i knew it was a connection problem. i just took the unit out and pushed the wire into the seating as best as i could and it was fixed.
