I have a 2002 SE with the Bose 6 CD system. When I first got the car 3 weeks ago and set the radio presets, I saw "None" (for non-RDS stations), or "Jazz", "Public", etc. (for RDS stations) in the display. I just realized, however, that now the program type does not show up in the display. Even if I now reprogram a preset, I don’t get the program type displayed. If I press "PTY" and flip thru the presets, all stations show the same program type, i.e., the last program type that was selected, not the program type that I saw when I first programmed the preset. If I try to reprogram the program type (by pressing the preset while the correct PTY is displayed), again, all stations show the same program type. I’ve re-read the owner’s manual a dozen times and can’t figure this out. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Another question: The owner’s manual implies that you can insert a single CD simply by inserting it into the slot (without pressing the "LOAD" button first), or you can load multiple CDs into the changer by pressing the "LOAD" button first. I am only able to insert a CD if I press "LOAD" first. Is this correct, or should I be able to insert a single CD without pressing "LOAD"?

Thanks,
Dave

 

I also have a 2002 SE with the Bose. I haven't had any problems with the RDS, but I rarely use it. I played around a little, but there seems to be very few stations that actually transmit the info in the D.C. area. It's a neat idea though.

I'm not sure, but I think you press the 'load' button followed by one of the numbers(1-6) to load one CD and you hold the 'load' button for more then a second to load 'em all.

How are ya likin' your 2002?

 

Does the CD Player support CD-text? (where the disc names and track titles are displayed on the display from the disc)

Does anyone know the specs for the 01 Bose system ? the amp ? Also is there a pause button for the cd player?

 

Yes, the Bose system does recognize CD text.

Yes. While the CD is in the player and playing, hit the PTY button to change between time/track, Disc Title, and Song Title.
