Default CD player acting up

On my C5 with 44000 miles..........
Sometimes CD's play perfect, sometimes not. What happens is as I push the disc in, the radio continues to play and eventually the unit spits the CD out. I try different discs but can't make it work.
I leave it alone and it works well the next time.

Help. Help. Are there no radio experts out there? Another thing I notice is as I open the door the CD player starts "running". Like it is trying to play a CD or something...................

I replaced my BOSE head unit in my 2000. Was working fine when I took it out. Yours if you want it.

WOW I'll take it! Do you mind taking it to the post office if I send the money? Please e-mail me and we will discuss this. Possibly I could pick it up on my next trip your direction.

Very nice Bob. Random acts of kindness do happen in here sometimes. I received one myself not long ago.

Yes, thanks to Bob for the help. Possibly mine is repairable but now I have a back-up in case it is not. Us "Easterners" get along good.

If you go to the main menu page and scroll down, you'll find the "Audio/electronics Forum". Someone there might be able to address your specific BOSE issue...more than likely they'll suggest you buy a "better" sound system though.
That was a very generous pay it forward gesture.

Either a dirty laser (pickup) or its going bad and wouldn't be worth replacing. You could try a disk cleaner but you already have a fix so....

Thanks guys. I was dumb...... I looked for a audio section, but only under C5, not under main section. I now found it and will get help there I am sure.

It was nice to be able to help as I have so often received on this forum. It was here that I got the idea to put in an Alpine iDA-X001. Didn't need to keep the old unit around and it was nice to find a home for it. Dale sent a check for shipping and a nice piece of pottery from his beautiful province. It's good to make friends on the forum

Here is the replacement if anyone is interested:
