When I was switching CDs in my non-Bose stereo the player wouldn't take the CD in. It kinda just got stuck in there, then I pressed the CD eject button and it spit it out with an error code. I tried a store bought CD and then a CDRW, but the stereo was having none of it. It's also now making a clicking nose when I press the CD eject button and there's no CD there. I was rotating 80minute CDRWs for about 6 months prior with no problems.
Any idea what's wrong and if there's a fix without taking it to the dealer??

 

my had the same problem about 2 months ago, I took it into the dealer, and they told me the reason why my cdplayer is not working is b/c there is another CD in there. Which is TOTOAL BS. Anyways, they said they'll order another one for me since its under warranty. 2 months later, i'm still waiting

 

this answer won't help....you should have got a Bose.

Hey BIO and Flash, if the dealer won't change it or they are delaying it, threaten them by saying you will call Nissan. It usually works and if they still don't replace it, you can call Nissan again to report the dealership and how they won't cooperate.

 

thx, i'll try that on monday. the reason i didn't get bose is b/c i think bose blows....i already changed out speakers & added amps and subs

 

Crap same thing happened to me.. I have been waiting for oer a freaken month! I guess it's on national back order. I hope I get it soon

 

I have the exact same problem. Didn't know about the backorder - I guess I'd better go get in line.

 

WHAAT???

I'll assume that statement was a joke. Out of 10 months of ownership, my '02 Bose has worked for a total of 5 months (no joke) I've had it replaced TWICE and it is on backorder now. I'm getting really tired of being stuck to listening to the radio until Nissan gets their act together.

 

it was a joke...but now you are scaring me! i had no problems with my bose and i didn't really expect to get any!

 

Bose = Non-Bose in terms of quality issues.

If anyone wants a refurbished non-Bose (got it as replacement for the first unit that went bye-bye) LMK.

 

My non-bose cd player went as well. I waited 1 week.. bring the car in and they inform me they got the wrong radio

I thought the head units were Clarion. What difference would Bose or non-Bose make?

 

After waiting for 6+ weeks, and every week they would tell me it'll be here this week. I finally went to the dealer and try to find out if it will ever come in. Guess what the dealer told me???????











we can't find the order..................

i got so ****ed, came home and called Nissan of North America. They told me it would be here by next week .......i sure hope so

 

My non-Bose just went out this afternoon. Same symptoms, "CD ERR F3"

I will be speaking with the dealership on Monday. This is so disappointing...

 

i think that's the exact same error code i got.
btw, after 9+ weeks of waiting. The dealer called me on Friday to bring the car in on Tuesday so they can change the hu out for me....



























do you guys think it'll come this time?

 

I got that same error on my Bose unit.... did you say yours was a non-Bose? I wonder if the HU's are actually different.

 

Yup, non-Bose. IIRC, the non-Bose are made by Clarion. I've had 4 nissans including the Max and I've had problems with every Clarion HU, except those were all tape decks. This is the first Clarion CD player I've had. Not impressed. I've only had the car for 7 months! Argh.



BioMax, I hope for your sake it does.

 

i remember when that happened your were ****ed, seriously dude you need to get a new headunit so that your amp get's a good signal the signal it's getting now is junk. you have good amp and components and the stock headunit is killign you.

 

Mine went out yesterday afternoon too. Displayed the same error message. Initially I thought it was just the scratch on the CD surface but that wasn't the issue. Tried it again with another CD, still same error. It was fine 2 days ago.

I'll go to my dealer sometime next week to have it looked at, and replaced within a reasonable amount of time.

 

Same thing happened to my cd player about a month ago and im still waiting for the radio to come in also , i called nissan and asked what the deal was , they told me they are having problems with all the cd players in the maxima's and pathfinder's....

 

Update on my situation:
I was able to bring my car in for inspection this week, and the service tech ordered a new set of stereo b/c he found it to be inoperative. New stereo came in 4 days after the initial inspection. Installed w/o any problem this morning. Total time was less than 1 week. I am pretty happy with this dealer for its quick response in dealing with warranty repair.
