Delco Bose CD player 'fix'
Still have the original Delco Bose CD player in the 95' and finally 'fixed' it. It had trouble reading many CD's. It easily skipped whenever the car rolled over an expansion crack or railroad tracks.
For $4.29, I fixed it. I brought a Maxell CD-AUTO Automobile CD Lens Cleaner (it is auto audio specific and for use on Automobiles only). Add shipping and it was about $7. Found it on Amazon.com
I figured that with 15 years of use, the unit had to pick up some dust, so what the heck.
It worked exactly as advertised and there is no more skipping on the expansion cracks or railroad tracks (I go over a good number of them coming into the plant where I work). Sounds a little better too. It still won't read really damaged CD's, but it doesn't give me an error nearly as often as it used to either.

You need either Doctor Don , or Rich at Same Day Audio. Either one will replace the lousy cd laser with a sony unit and then it will read CDR's . About $150.... worth it...yes!
