Airro Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 ive started to notice my bose skipping aswell and from the searches ive found, it appears to be a common problem, because of the cold this has started to annoy me, but have not managed to find any fixes yet it usually lasts 10 minutes of skipping, drives me crazy in the morning!! however this morning i did a little test by skipping the tracks and that actually worked for me i flicked through songs 1-15, three times quick, i kept hittin the next button this probably took me 10 seconds to do? and gave me a good 15 minute drive to work also tried this on the way back and no more skipping im probably jumping to conclusions and hoping i wont have to hear my songs skip again but i thought id share it with you guys and see if it works for you let me know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 anything's worth a try I just listen to the radio until the entire unit is warmed through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airro Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 i guess the track skipping warms it up quicker lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Shirron Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 So is there a fix? or just fit a new unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 You can get them re-conditioned I think. Not sure how much it would cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Condensation is reckoned to be the issue - as you say I found by playing another of the 6 CDs could overcome the problem. But after a while it cleared itself. Touching the proverbial, I have not noticed the problem in the 370......................yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choptop Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Mine has done it from day one. If it becomes a real pain, and your pocket is fairly deep, bin it and get something half decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350ash Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Mine skipped quite a lot when I got the car but at the recent West Midlands meet Keith and Rich told me that if you leave the air con on all the time it helps a lot - it drys out the air and reduces the condensation inside the CD player. I tried it and so far it seems to be working - it's only skipped a couple of times since and even then it was only really briefly. Another solution is to use the tape deck, I found some old tapes at the weekend and tried it out, not only has it never skipped but you get to listen to some classic 90s tunes too!

choptop Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 MP3 mod or decent FM Transmitter could be an alternative:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Shirron Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I think tape deck is the way forward... And if that starts skipping theres no hope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuck Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I think tape deck is the way forward... Only problem there is that you have to go back to 1980 to buy the tapes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*wellsy* Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I noticed this when I first took mine home. didnt realise it was a common problem. Bose I thought was supposed to be really good quality, bit of a stupid thing to associate with such a big brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetstan Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 If you take the Bose stereo out you may well notice the big Clarion sticker on it. Whch lets face it, explains a whole lot. As Paul Calf says "Bag of sh1te" Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Paul Calf says "Bag of sh1te" Dave Not realy, Clarion make some of the best SQ HU in the world. Just this one is pretty rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
