Woody Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 My BOSE head unit won't play CD's unless I am stopped Does anyone have one laying around after replacing it that might work better than the one I have? They all skip bud. Mine does it without fail when its cold. Something to do with the way the cds are stacked and condensation on the laser. Your best off ripping it out and buy a replacement. Bose head unit was a massive fail from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine works perfectly! (Although it's only an '07 so maybe it'll die in the future). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicon2k Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I sent Lee a message about this a while ago and got no response....... I thought BOSE were a quality outfit too. However i bought a pair of their In ear head phones which proved me wrong. The sound quality is amazing but the build quality is shocking. I have been through 3 pairs now with each lasting no longer then 3 months. Its a shame that you don't always get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberdread Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I have one here you can have, I only used it for about a week, before I ripped it out and put in my alpine from my old car. It skipped a little but not too much, I managed to get from London to Brighton with it skipping only once or twice. As I didn't really use it I cant guarantee trouble free operation. Wasn't till after I ripped it out that I remembered that I had left some cd's in it though. DOH! If you want it though it's yours as long as you send my cd's back one you got it hooked up. PM me if you still want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R35LEE Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yep, 2nd hand Bose are useless unless they have been devorced from the car prior to removing. PM sent slimJim so give me a call mate Cheers for the heads up Huskey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
