After i painted my dashboard, i took out the Bose head unit to inspect the display that went on and off.

I followed the directions on the FAQ sticky website and opened her up. I didnt solder/alter anything, i just took it apart to inspect it and to get to know what was inside.

After putting it together, i put everything back in my dash and started the car. Radio worked perfect, display still goes on and off, but now its 80% on, 15% off, and 5% dim/blinking. Great! right? No.

I tried listening to a CD, placed it in the slot less then half way, waited for the CD player to feed it inside, and nothing. I can hear faint noises of the motor's running, but it doesnt feed it inside. I then tried to give it a push inside, and still nothing. I was left with a Cd stuck in the player.

Today, i took it apart again, pulled out the cd. and made sure everything was connected right. I installed it again, and it still doesnt want to feed.

Any idea's what could of happened?

and how i can fix it?

Wow.

That was seriously not funny.


Anyone else besides this idiot?

 

Wow.

you're wondering why your 4th gen BOSE HU stopped working? seriously??

everyone and their brother knows that they always eventually fail, not to mention just plain suck to begin with. get a new unit. theres your answer

 

Anyone?

no cd player sux!

 

nothing...

 

I've researched this to death and apparently your CD player needs servicing. I have the same issue on my 6-disk in-dash changer on my 2003's Blose. I could not find a definitive diagnosis for this problem ANYWHERE, even searching among I35 and G35 owners, who apparently have the same issues with their crappy in dash CD changers. And yes, it is crap. Mendon is correct. I am torn between spending the money to get the HU (and changer) fixed or just go w/Pioneer....
