If you have your stock bose headunit thats going to be the problem. I had the same problem and the dealer replaced the headunit and it fixed the problem

Same problem for me. When I was still under warranty, I never had this problem, but a few months ago it arose. Now I intentionally look for pot holes in hopes that it'll start working again

I've been having problems with the left side tweeter cutting out intermittenly during CDs but I haven't tested it with the radio. I brought it in to the dealer the other day and they said they couldn't replicate the problem, any sure fire way to test this?

Looks like we all have a problem now who is the first to go to the dealer and see how much this will be with no warranty

might be better off going to tweeter or somewhere else that knows their **** when it comes to stereo components

mine worked today so im satisfied to this point, but im sure tomorrow im guessing it wont be

hopefully its a wiring related issue rather than something internal

Mine is still under warranty, I just need something to be able to prove it to the dealership.

give the unit a quick bang, hit it on the side just under the cig lighter. that used to work for me. someone gave me that tip a long time ago. it worked for a while as a temp fix till i ended up changing out the deck. The stock deck sucks big time.
