That's pretty sad. 03/04 with only 34K miles on it.

I have an 03 and have had my Bose unit replaced twice because of CD error code, I'm at about 90K now and the sounds cuts out/on all the time now, except when at the dealer of course.

Works perfect and I don't have to dick around with CD's anymore.

The CD player thing is a widely known problem, and everyone with the Bose 6-disc changer will have the problem eventually assuming they actually use their CD player.

My 04 is havin the same problem. The driver side plays whenever it wants to, and only happens wih cd, the radio is perfecrly fine

I'll post a DIY for the CD player cut in and out problem. I fixed mine awhile back. It requires opening the radio up and some mild soldering

How long did it take you to do that?

I was going to fix mine last summer but never got around to it. I won't be able to get at my car for at least another 2 months, with it buried under 6 to 7 feet of snow at the moment, but plan to try to fix it come spring.

CD player problem is intermittent. I also have the AC controls problem. AC comes on full blast and I can't shut it down. Sometimes turning the car off for awhile will fix it. It happens like 2-3 times a month. I'd imagine its dead or on its way out.

Got a JDM dash kit and carputer in progress to fix it when I pull her out of storage in the spring.

The radio and right rear speaker quit in 05 prior to me owning it. It was replaced by the dealership. No problems since. I still may replace it with an updated system that has wome pre-amp outputs. Crutchfield offers the conversion kit at half price when you order the head unit.
