lomoto Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I think the majority do , according to most people Quote
jim Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Trevor, and enjoy this site. They're a friendly and helpful bunch. Have a search on here and you will find plenty of chat about this. It's a known problem - most advise to get shot of the Bose unit and fit an aftermarket one. Quote

Trev-the-Rev Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Hi and from another Trevor. As Sarnie said, it only skips when cold because the CDs condensate and the crappy Bose laser can't burn through. You can either keep your CDs in the house, don't play them until the car warms up which is what I do, or bin the Bose and get a decent hea unit. Quote

Beavis Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 to the forum My Bose as never skipped hot or cold Quote
H5 Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 to the forum My Bose as never skipped hot or cold Av u ben wiv Shire agin? It does it this time of year after a chilly night and warming up in the morning. Your shift pattern might help with that! Quote
mbs Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Hello & My 1st BOSE skipped but the new one replaced under warranty has never skipped warm or cold. Quote
Ebized Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Welcome, and hey don't worry about your music - the best noise you can listen to is made by the ZED itself Quote
M13KYF Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 this can be the beginning of the laser failing. Usually starts to show when it's cold as if there is condensation on the disc. Going further on the tracks seems to stop the problem or waiting for the unit to warm up. Only time will tell if it gets worse to the point where a replacement is required Quote
