90% sure your looking at a new head unit. I got the same CD service thing on 2 of my head units and had to replace them. The cd players are notorious for going out on the Bose systems. Good Luck :thumbs:

Re: bose head unit (marylandz)
do a search for Dr. Don's.
they redo the bose head unit for $150 and will have it returned within a week.
the cd player is bad. I used them for the bose gold in my zr1 and was very pleased with the service and especially the price!!!
not as nice as a full aftermarket stereo, but lots cheaper and easier.

Re: bose head unit (marylandz)
I had Dr. Don's repair my head unit. It ended up costing about $240 but works fine. I also had to replace 4 Bose amps and the underdash receiver. It cost quite a bit in total but it makes the dash look original. My '90 has a gray and gold instrument panel so aftermarket radios are not a good match at all.

I replaced everything through him. After getting over the sticker shock I am 100 percent happy and have no regrets. He's a real pro. :thumbs:

Re: bose head unit (marylandz)
Hey neighbor, mine does the same thing but its strange only in the extreme cold, summertime no problems. After it warms up 30-45 minutes it (cd) works fine even in the temps we're having now. Take it easy, :flag
By the way, very cool car, we'll have to hook up sometime. Welcome to the forum.
