Nissan 350Z Bose Stereo Problem --- HELP
|
New member Username: Kisa31707Post Number: 1 Registered: Jul-07 | The left channel of my Bose system goes in an out when I play cds. This never occurs while playing the radio. Can anyone help diagnose this problem? I also want to know what my possible choices might be as far as just replacing the defective component or whatever. I know Nissan will try to gouge me when I take it in to be checked.} |

I know this because i had the same problem in my 03 Touring. So i yanked it out and installed a Double Din Navigation unit. Much happier http://s35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/Mr_kebo/350z/?action=view¤t=IMG_039 0.jpg |

But my husband says this is the only way to make sure the bose system works properly. I thought I could just change out the actual stereo and still get the same sound as well as the auto adjustment for noise. |

Post Number: 1517 Registered: Dec-06 | well i dont personaly know but i hear its hard to put an after market stereo in a car with a bose system because theres so many channels or something...but im not quit sure. You should just take it to a dealer and have them put a new stereo (or check yours out). Then you should just get your husband to pay for all of it  |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 2499 Registered: Dec-06 | Nissan has had trouble with the Bose in-dash changers for many years. I have no idea why they stick with them when everything else on them is high quality. My 2001 Pathfinder is notorious for the changer giving an "error 2" message. There are some people that are pushing for a class action lawsuit because Nissan refuses to fix or replace any of them. Alot of later model Nissans have badly soldered pins on the audio output IC's which causes one channel or another to be intermittent on cd's only. Like Reece said, the unit should still be under warranty so call Nissan and tell them how unhappy you are with such a problem on a new car. |

The radio was on of the things i had them replace under the 36k warranty. Up to 60K covers drivetrain. Replacing it was a waste, the new unit does it now as well. Many Z owners have gone thru several units. I just hit the left side of the dash, and it comes right back on. ;) I wont buy a stock H/U for this car. I busy modding mine at the moment so the stereo is really of no concern to me. Aftermarket is better than stock Bose, which isnt anything really good anyway. Bose exceeds/succeeds in marketing, not much else. |
