last week I bought the new Ray Charles CD, poped it in to slot 6 and it told me to check the CD, moved it to every other position same problem. Took it in the house - plays great!

anyone have any ideas? It seems to only be this particular CD!!

 

[steve350z]

maybe the Z don't like Ray. Honestly though run a cd lens cleaner through it and see what is up.

bootleg cd ?
looks like your blose is going... time to go and bother your dealership..

 

[smoothz]

Since the temps here have turned a little nipply, my Blose has been skipping big time. I believe that I read something about the skipping issue being common for the 6-disc player in the Z. Can't believe they chinced on a $30k sportscar...

The Blose should be eliminated immediately upon purchase of the vehicle...

You have to remember that in order to make a car like a Z affordable, certain corners need to be cut. People have been complaining about the Blose system since day one. Some people have gone through many head units already. I think LBSOHK is on his 8th? Is that right LB?

 

[gdojr]

Yeah, if they had to cut corners, I am glad they cut on something I was going to change anyway. I changed the Bose last December. I just upgraded to the new Clarion touch screen yesterday. I have not figured out how to work the **** thing yet, but it looks and sounds great. It looks like it was made for the car. (CS).

 

[smoothz]

Do most people who replace the Bose do it themselves? I was angrily staring at it this cold, wintery morning wondering how I could take it out w/o scratching the console. I would like nothing better than a HU that lights up the console and works properly ALL the time.

****, you're a fast poster! Sigh, so you're suggesting 'plastic surgery' for my baby...and she's not even matured enough yet. I'm gonna be crying when I 'take the knife' to her.

 

[gdojr]

It is not that expensive to have it professionally done. And well worth it if you do not feel comfortable with it.

 

[smoothz]

Looks like another excuse to take my son for a cruise...down to a couple of stereo shops! Woohoo! I'm sure he'll tell momma how I need a new stereo. Speaking of which, he hasn't mentioned new wheels to her in a while...I guess I need to increase his allowance to ensure he continues with the subliminal messaging.

dont remind me

... I just took off all my mods , and will go to the dealership for the 9th and some other problems

Smooth - you can easily take out the head unit by yourself in less than 15 minutes..

 

[smoothz]

Thanks LB. I'm curious as to the setup, so I might just take it apart to see it. I don't think it's going to be too difficult to replace it with another HU - like the Clarion David got.

 

[buzam]

Not a bootleg, not a burn - even exchanged it at the store for another - same symptom. did the cleaning - time to call Nissan for the replacement!

 

[smoothz]

What's a new HU cost from Nissan? LB? Care to share?

Too bad they don't cut you out a check and let you go buy an aftermarket unit.

 

[LBSOHK]

buZam - go get yourself a new ( remanufactured ) blose HU from the dealer... take that CD with you so they could duplicate the problem...

as far as the cost , all my HU were covered by nissans warrantee ,so I couldnt tell you what they cost..

Smooth , if you get stuck , dont be shy to use TK's DIY ..

 

[DiRN]

Smooth, to open her up, you basically just reach into the boot and pull.

i had the same problem with a cd of mine...(yes it was bootleg) it worked in my truck but wont in the z

 

[LBSOHK]

my dealership was telling me that I may experience some problems with bootleg cds , but Im not sure if he was serious , or just selling me BS...
Also , the owners manual states that in cold weather , you may have to wait until the car warms up , until you could play cd's ..
pretty

if you ask me...
