Bose Stereo: Check Disk Message

[rysith]

My gf just bought a V35 and all has been well, today when fiddling with some of the MFD controls, we changed back to listen to a CD from the BOSE stereo and it displayed "Check Disk".

Now after ejecting the CD and trying multiple CDs (burnt/original), it comes up with the same error and won't play the disk.

Radio operations seem fine.

Anyone come across this before?

yep laser is dying.. bin it and start fresh. even better stick an aftermarket unit in there.

OK yeh from some research I've done, it sounds like these Bose units are more trouble than they are worth.

Chris, what is the best option to go with for aftermarket?

Will any double-Din solution be easy enough to replace the Bose setup or is there a lot of mucking about involved?

Also, any aftermarket setup that can utilize the steering wheel controls?

your question relies on the depth of your pocket.. one I'm doing now the fellow gave me $3.1K to swap it all out and put a navi based radio in. do a bit of a dig. there's more to it that simply buying a radio.

feel free to give me a call during bus. hrs.
