I know and have searched all about the 02-03 Bose Head Unit Audio Cut Out situations. That said i know my options on where/how to fix this. But my question is whats the most permanent fix? So I dont need to do this again !(atleast for a long time)

#1: Is this relocation mod that 02SilverMax has come up with a great long lasting solution?

#2: Everyone refers to this company being another solution

I called this company today and they said they "rebuild them". So in actuality do they really fix the problem (with the weak cable not working over time etc)?


In theroy could I have them work on it and do this as 02SilverMax did ?

Thanks In Advance.

 

I fixed mine over a yr ago... no porblems since...
The only TRUE way to fix it is to remove the cable an hand solder each indivigual wire.

Or buy aftermarket...

 

I am having the same problem with the speakers. Is there any diagrams out there to show how to fix the problem?
From further investigation I am looking for Chris S's diagrams but can't seem to find them and the link on 02silvermax's post is no longer abailable for the diagram. So if anyone knows where I could find this diagram it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

Search as I DID

 

Found it. Sorry, still new to this and I am at work, so time is limited on searching. Thanks

This shop is a Clarion dealer. They will apply the same fix as if you took it to the dealer (and they mail it to Clarion). Go with option #2.

 

go with option number 3.

throw out that piece of **** bose (aka clarion) headunit out the window and get an aftermarket one.

 

did someone say audio?

Thanks guys for reviving this topic from the dead.

I have repaired my BOSE HUD in my 2002 GLE (with the chris.s fix), but I'm now having other problems. I want to replace the whole HUD with something that has AUX input for satellite radio and a USB slot. It also has to maintain the steering wheel controls and look good.

I'm finding it diffucult to find such units that are compatible with the 2002 maxima. Anyone know a good place to look or have a good suggestion?

 

I am not sure about the USB port, but I found this iCarKit the other day. I mainly was looking to connect my ipod to my stereo unit in my car, while being able to use my stereo's controls. Don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for but it is a start.

Here is the website:http://www.icarkits.com/product_info.php?products_id=32.

Good Luck!

did the Bose in the 02/03 come with a satellite option? I'm trying to stealth in some sort of application because my wife is against my desire to fix the audio >_>

 

Uh you need to learn how use that phrase correctly. Cause this thread was never "revived from the dead" since it was created today.

 

THE ONLY PERMANENT FIX:

Honestly probably not worth it to fix it...Just go aftermarket. I couldnt' be more happy with my setup. I retain my steering wheel controls TOO. Only thing you miss out on is your tape deck. =P

 

Thanks for your inpuut, but that doesnt answer my Q.

MY QUESTION

Will this shop most likely re-install the problematic cable and create the problem all over agagin

 

Depends how much he wants to spend and how OEM he wants the car to be.

(but yes, I took Option 3 myself)

 

No, I posted that in the PM I sent you. Nissan has a TSB for that where Clarion replaces the cable with a "new and improved one". You can't buy this cable, but a Clarion dealer can.

 

What's a tape deck?

 

I did try Chris's fix and my Cd works like a charm. Hope I don't have to go through this again (lots of work) -
