M13KYF Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 you can get the BOSE repaired. pm R35LEE or Clarion do a discount for the forum Quote
sally Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 It is a bose. What do they do to it? Quote
M13KYF Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 after a time it seems to be a common occurance. Do a search on skipping Quote
martinmac Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I have no idea what Lee does to them but basically he takes them apart and puts them back together as they should have been in the first place. Quote
Husky Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 he rubs his magic fairy dust on them i think take that as you will its a ribbon cable or something i think Quote

AK350Z Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 It is a bose. What do they do to it? Clarion make the units, Bose just stick their name on it. They just trade on the name really. Quote
Vik54 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 It is really annoying isn't it? Mine only does it when its cold and damp - which up here is a lot of the time - so until the whole unit has warmed up in the morning I just have to listen to Moylesy Quote
Dblock Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 It is really annoying isn't it? Mine only does it when its cold and damp - which up here is a lot of the time - so until the whole unit has warmed up in the morning I just have to listen to Moylesy You get to listen to Chris Moyles in the morning, thats what time Im usually getting home lol. But mine is a jdm with bose so no radio but If it is under 6c it will skip. If it heated up and fine then you open the window its starts skipping again! Cant wait to get my new headunit fitted. Also who is Nigel? Quote
nixy Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 How can you not know that nigel is the nissan? Get a shiney new head unit for your birthday is my advice! Quote
Husky Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 How can you not know that nigel is the nissan? Get a shiney new head unit for your birthday is my advice! i would say so, the bose is nothing special and with the issues it has it makes it really frustrating. Quote
sally Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 What head units have people put into their cars? Had a look at BMs today but not sure if i want to pay mega bucks. Only 2 requirements, Nothing to confusing ( i am currently blonde ) and it must have an iPod port. Quote
helimeddaz Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 What head units have people put into their cars? Had a look at BMs today but not sure if i want to pay mega bucks. Only 2 requirements, Nothing to confusing ( i am currently blonde ) and it must have an iPod port. The best advice I can give "Scrap the Bose", all of it. It's too big to be a paper weight. When you take all the Hi-Fi out you can see what poor quality it is. The sub is unreal. I know they can be fixed and I applaud the poeple who fix-em. However it's difficult to make crap into anything else, but more crap. Just my own opinion........ There's stacks of gear to chose from. A good thing for a Blonde to do is go to a really good Car Audio shop and collect up all the cataloges from Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer, JBL, Hertz, JL Audio and even Sony have a good look at em while yer gettin yer roots done, (chuckle) pick what yer like and in yer budget and lastly find someone who know what they're doing to install it. Job done...... :teeth:X Quote
rtbiscuit Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 whats your budget, i'm about to fit a new unit in mine. don't know if it will be in by the meet though. need to bribe BM to come and help me Quote

nixy Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 I have a not very expensive alpine for ipod head unit - it was under £200 i think. Its brilliant and you do everything on the head unit not on the ipod. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 i can bring it back from wales for you sally if you did want it? Quote
S77 CRV Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Do what i done Amazon. Tape deck adaptor for ipod £1.99. Job done and sounds great. No more CD's and no more skipping Quote
Gervais Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 I've done the tape deck hack to mine and the sound quality is fantastic Quote
