Anyone have problems with BOSE CD Player?

About a few months ago, my CD player started acting up on my 04. If you try to listen to a CD, you will never be able to listen to it on ALL speakers. It likes to act up and will work sometimes ONLY on the left speakers, sometimes ONLY on the right speakers. To add to that sometimes the sound is fuzzy, distorted and the volume is low (as in I have it at 24 and it sounds like 7-8). The stealership said to replace the whole unit, but I doubt that. Any hope that this can be fixed without having to replace the whole unit?

Also, my stock bose subwoofers have blown. Does anyone know where to get replacements? Can I just swap the bose subwoofers for different ones? Thanks.

this might be a dumb question but have you checked the audio video section
even if there isn't a thread about the problem you have the people with aftermarket stereos might sell you some "previously enjoyed" Bose speakers

Thanks, I'm going to check that out! If anyone has had the same issue I'm having or knows what may be wrong, please post. Thank you.

Defiant this is actually very common in our cars. The drivers side will cut out or sound like trash from time to time, but it's only with CDs. Radio works fine. Mine is doing that now, I'm just saving up to do an aftermarket or something. The fix is like brain surgery, to re-solder a very tiny connection deep with the Bose HU.

I replace my subs, heres how....http://www.6thgenmaxima.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2404 I sold the stock "subs", you'll be suprised how little they are.

It sucks to have this problem. When I have people in my car, I'll only listen to the radio (and I prefer CD only). I'm guessing this isn't covered by warranty?? Also, thanks for the link. I really want to replace my bose subwoofers just like you did so there's no bulky and heavy box.

I drive a 04 Max SE w/ Bose and im having the same promblem. The driverside speakers just stop working when I play the cd. Is it better to just replace the unit or is there a way to fix it?

How about when you're about to turn off the car and you decide to turn off the bose stereo. Then when you get back in the car the LCD shows the radio stats as if the radio was on but in reality it's not?? This happened after I had my sensor realigned for my intake. *off topic I know* But this thread reminded me of this oddity.

Mine does this occasionally but no biggy. It did start after I put my PAC ipod adapter though

common problem. Do as many of us have if you don't wanna change everything out, get a PAC adapter and run ur IPOD/MP3 player. Not very expensive or difficult to install. Ran me like $50.
