i would to know how many from here has the same problem with me, i got ~38,700 miles on my 2k3 max and the only thing that i have problem is with my bose system, left speakers sometimes does not work -depends the bump-, sometimes my right speakers does not work either, sometimes all speakers does not work -the voice is not clear- and 2 days ago that we have 50 degrees my CD player skip for few seconds. I got appoitment with the Dealer in September 28th. Anybody fix this fu*king problem, if so, how?

-I have extended warranty until 100,000 miles and they say if we order new head unit you have to pay $90. I have no problem to pay $90 but if totally fix it.

 

its either the deck or the Bose amp itself in the trunk. But from your symptons it sounds like a bad deck.

goodluck!

It is the head unit. I had mine replaced under warranty.

 

automobile stock bose stereo sucks a$$

 

There have been several problems reported with the Bose systems. One side out, CD whir, etc. I had both of these and I'm on my 3rd unit (12 months and still good).

 

i dont have bose anymore, but a problem i encountered with it AFTER i removed it was within the wiring for the driver side front speaker. there was no charge coming from teh wire going to that speaker. so when i put in my new infinity speaker, i had to fish a separate wire for just that one speaker, and used stock wiring for all the others.

 

I've been very lucky with my Bose system no problems yet @ 82K

 

You got the same exact problem I have with mine. Supposedly the dealer has one on order but they told me 1 week , it's been 2 and I still haven't heard from them. I am beginning to think that they were lying to me. If they don't have it ordered that is it, I am calling up Nissan and letting them know just how ****ty I have been treated there. I love my Max but I will never buy another Nissan again because of these jerk offs!

 

Yup.... cd player skips in colder temps (under 65 degs or something like that) and driver side speakers will go out for several minutes every once in a while... I've replaced the head unit once for no charge, and apparently the dealership will do it again when I bring it back. Seems like the dealership that I go to isn't fussing about this and is being very cooperative... of course they stole/threw away my K&N filter, but we won't go there right now....

 

i hope they can fix it cuz with my previous 2k2 max i had the same problem, i was waiting about 3 weeks for my head unit or something like that and after couple weeks... same fu*king problem

 

Had same Problem, dealer fixed it fre under warranty, He said it was common

 

I have the left side speaker problem. It is fine on radio, but very muffled on CD. I took the car to the dealer today and they are going to call Nissan to "see what they can do" because I have 37,800 miles. The problem started at 36,500 miles. Just my luck. I am sure Nissan will not cover this.

 

Did you use the stock deck? How do the Infinity's sound?

 

I am going in today for this left side not working when playing CD. I have 34800 miles. I will let you guys know what they do.

 

35k and still fine. In fact, everyone always thinks I have an aftermarket system in the car and I always tell them it's stock.

 

I'm not an audiophile or anything, but the stock Bose is less than impressive.

In fact, I'm having problems just like the original poster -- sometimes, when playing a CD, the left side speakers just all but cut out. I think it's the left-side filter on the CD player.

In any case, I'm on my second unit now, and I'm going on my third. Note, 28k miles on my 2k2.

If it happens with the third unit I'm just going to get an aftermarket replacement, even though I dont like dropping money into too much stereo stuff.

 

they're aite, but i need an amp, cuz i know im not using them to their potential. i have a blaupunkt head unit

 

00, 73k, no problems yet. My 97's bose sometimes gives the CD err for a week on end, and then works fine for a few months. I think I'll circumvent this issue with a radio transmitter and a discman.

 

Just dropped off my car and the deler ask me if they can duplicate the problem. It worked this morning when I drop off. Lets see what they say. They may say it is fine, because they could not duplicate.

a little more reading on the same problems...

 

That happened to me when i took it to them. I just went in w/ a copy of the TSB and they ordered me a new head unit even though it worked fine when the tech looked at it.

Be prepared to wait over a month for a new one to come in. They told me 4-5 weeks and they were NOT kidding. They send us remanufactured heads from Japan. I think they send them in on a boat, not a plane.

 

Apparently, they can never duplicate the problem.... and my head unit took around 2 weeks to get in....

 

One small annoyance I have is while at speed, if while CD player is running, I advance a song, the speed control volume thinks its back at zero and the volume drops till the volume control is touched, then it jumps back to where it should be. Does everyone else notice this? Is this normal, would the dealer fix this?

Sorry to hijack this thread, but this is a Bose problem.

 

any site for TSB?

 

Hmmm... can't say that I ever ran into that problem.... sorry

 

The dealer ordred me a new radio today. He said it should be in about 1 week. At least they are replacing mine.

 

no problem wit mine yet

 

i am radio #3 and all is good now

 

yea man know how you feel my cd changer whirred like a **** and i didnt know what to do so i ended up replacing it with a better head unit altogether and im happy (pioneer). later i read in some forum that it might have had a dirty laser lens or whatever and all i had to do is buy a cd player cleaner haha. oh well i got a new head unit and speakers in the process so im good to go. oh yea, nissan wasnt so merciful with my bose system wanted to charge me 600$ for the cd changer alone. said it wasnt in warranty which was BS but wutever.

 

My subwoofer "died". kept cutting out at random until one day i poked around and pulled the resistor circuit that only seems to be there to eliminate the pop. Pulled this crap out and connected the sub straight to the plug. Been working like a dream. I only get a single pop whenever i supply power to the car though, and it's not loud anyway.

i would elaborate much better but i am lazy

No HU issues yet and i don't expect any.

 

Look through the stickies. I'd find it for you, but i'm in Greece using a slow a$$ 56K connection right now.

malaka, dont get DSL over there... i got it for two weeks and the bill came 700 euro, they said 55 euro every month but... arxidia!!!!
stay with slow a$$ 56k connection...

 

Uh, can I vote yes FOUR times? Yup, soon to get my 4th in less than 1 year (just went out again last night). Unreal.

 

da*n,four times yo???? holy sh*t. What are you doing when your warranty is gone?

 

and that junk about how Bose systems have their own lock code or whatever..i had to replace the speakers along with my head unit. couldnt just replace the head unit alone with another aftermakrket head unit

 

Actually, my warranty is already gone. I'm over 36k. But they warranty the unit for 12k miles from the install date so as long as mine continues to break every 4000 miles or so I'm covered. They are getting faster though - last time I was out in around 45 minutes. Not that this is anything to brag about.

 

I just came from my fuc*ing dealer, they said that i passed the 36k miles so it doenst covered to my warranty, i was like but i have warranty until 100.000 miles and they said not for radio, i was like fine how much for it, they said $450.
also they said you lowered your vehicle so if anything happen to your suspension we cant do anything, i was like "look, im here for my radio not for my suspension". What im gonna do? any ideas? I dont want to spend $450

 

find a different dealer. So typical. F nissan. I personally cant wait till my warranty expires....
