bose stereo vs aftermarket

Hey i have the bose stereo system and it always like screws up. When im playin the first cd at song 5 it skips to the next cd. I thought it was the cd at first so i inserted a different one but did the exact same thing. Sometimes my speakers make weird noises too. Has anyone else had a problem with the bose system. Do you think i should consider an aftermarket stereo?
Thanks guys

Im going towards the Alpine IVA-W200 ... was talking to my friends brother about it... problem with that one is that you have to buy the Navi separate.. probably wont get this for a while.. my car is still under warranty so im gonna have them change out the bose for a new one... then it will give me time to save up for the alpine

Is the Bose unit really that bad? The stock stereo seems very good (for me at least). Does anybody know who made them?

I'd have to say that the Bose "premium" system was one of the biggest disappointments of getting a G...

Anyone know if its possible just to install a Radio/Cd HU (in dash)?
Looks like it needs a pretty big face plate.
