Guys,

As many of you, I deal with the daily aggrevation of having a non-working Bose CD player. I was wondering what the common problems with the actual CD player are that many of you have. A friend of mine use to have a '93, the problem it had was ANY CD you put in it would try to access and after several moment would show ERR on the display and spit it back out. The problem I have is that it won't even accept a CD. Almost like either the drive motor or sensor that tells it a CD is being inserted are bad.

I guess what I'm getting at is that my CD player may in fact still work, just the drive or sensor keeps me from putting a CD in. Has anybody ever successfully repaired their own CD player? I'm thinking about taking it apart and seeing if I can see anything,...a loose wire, broken connection,.....snapped drive belt....etc. Thoughts? I'm sure there is a source for remaned Bose units,...anybody have any dealings with anybody or know a price? I'd really like to retain the factory head unit b/c to me,...nothing else looks at home in a Vette interior.

Thanks.

 

Here's one place, but I haven't really checked them out.

That sounds mighty familiar. Had that problem about 5 years ago with my Bose CD too. I took the head unit to "Dixie Electronics" in Charlotte, NC. They changed the CD drive and serviced the cassette player for $110. Money well spent for aggrivation lost!
