Hello,
My cd player has been acting up, usually in the morning it skips alot and when weather warms up it works fine. any idea what might be wrong? I know its not the cd because i try all 6 cds and still same issue. usually in afternoon works fine. please help and thanks in advance.

 

Its the head unit. BOSE means buy other stereo equipment. lol

 

good one.

I was just wondering if i need to clean cd player it might be dirty or some. i will probably upgrade later to dvd player just need to keep stock for right now.

 

A lot of the 04's had a big problem with the BOSE headunits. They were replacing them at one time but thats been years ago. I have a BOSE changer out of an 05 in my basement thats problem free I would sell cheap. PM me if you're interested.

 

how much? would in need some kind of code for it? On my old acura after changing stock cd player out i needed a code so i had to go to acura dealership and get it programmed. Thanks bud.

It seems lot of people have issues with the bose player..even i do not like the sound quality.I observed the difference when i play with AUX ( hooked up that PAC AUX ) and CD.
My player skips at certain times and i observed when i dont start the car it plays well.

If I want to replace the player with any other after market player i wont be getting the cd texts in the screen. I kinda like that. is there any compatible after market player which can diectly seat in the place of bose without altering the factory look ? also i know clarion made the player so is there any which will be direct replacement to the stock one and can output the cd texts on the screen ?

i saw in ebay lot of people are selling it above $200. i dont find any reason in buying a used bose changer for $200. it make sense if its $50.

 

I have an 06 with Bose and I found that in the morning when the CD skips like crazy, I eject the CD and I find a lot of condensation on the CD. I think once the car has been running for a while, the engine and the CD player heat up and all the condensation evaporates but when it's cold out or humid, it's the condensation on the CD itself that causes it to skip.

 

mine was replaced under warrenty and then it started skipping again, its been like that for years, i hardly listen to cds bc its so annoying and i dont care enough to bother to go aftermarket. Its a piece of BOSE ****.

 

Same here. The cd changer turned into complete garbage. The head unit cut the speakers on the drivers side.

 

So what can be done about this problem????

 

if u replace with new HU from Bose ( well actually clarion ) - after few months it will do again. Get rid of that CD player and get an after market or install a AUX and listen to ipod ( if u dont have auc already ).. trust me the stock hu vs ur ipod sound- u will notice the difference..the stock hu somehow puts so much mid range and it only fills up the front speakers.

 

Thats not true. Mine was replaced over a year ago. They replaced the changer and the deck. I also had problems with the sound dropping from the front driver side speakers.

No problems. 11 degree weather and the cd player works before the car even warms up. Now a aftermarket deck would sound better. Just to be clear. I plan to get one myself.

 

well..i said that sarcastically ..certainly not every bose cd player have the same issue..i made that statement after getting plenty of feedbacks from forum members and my own experience with bose stock units..

 

I know. Just wanted to give the guy some hope.

 

 

I'm actually a female...and this sucks with this cd player mess!!! and it's confusing! But thanks

 

There are bose removal vids all over youtube............ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJY2J2vVsak

Have fun.

 

Nice video. I haven't bothered to tackle the radio stuff yet.

 

Havent had that problem yet but ive only had the car for a few months now.
Have you tried contacting bose direct?
Maybe they have a tech line that can help you.

 

Bose only made the amp and speakers. The changer and deck is from china.
