skyskysky Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Having had my 2005 350z for less than a week I'm still driving around just listening to the engine. However, I just tried to insert a CD in to the 'CD slot' and realised that there is no way of getting a disc in there - there is a flap of some sort physically preventing a CD to be inserted. (It's the BOSE version). Anyone come across this? Its not much of an issue as I intend to replace the unit eventually but it is irritating. Not sure if this is linked but when I first got the car - I realised that one of the keys would not start the engine - it would start the radio etc but not get passed the immobiliser (the key is being replaced this week) - one of the things I remember seeing when playing around with the key was the word "SECURE" on the radio message panel. The radio still works fine - but as I say there is no way to get a CD in to the slot. Any help/advice? Quote
Roo Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 You have tried the load button and selected the cd slot you want to load to i assume? But its doing nothing. If not have a read of the manual chap if you have one. (Sorry if you already have!) Otherwise first port of call would be previous owner and ask them about it! Secure... Not sure about Quote
Zugara Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 One of the selector buttons, tape, cassette radio is stuck behind the facia panel, you will need a small blade to ease the panel back thus allowing the button to pop forward.....Simples I thought the Bose HU were "married" to the car? Therefore swapping one out wouldnt work.. Maybe wrong. Quote
skyskysky Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 thanks both Yep, I've been through the owners manual (dont have a specific Bose manual - wonder if I can 'google' one??)) And in terms of a stuck button...interesting, I'll take a look in the morning. Cheers! Quote
Peter10 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I had the same issue when I did the iPod mod. The tape button got stuck behind the facia and wouldn't allow me to switch between tape/CD/radio. Quote
R35LEE Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 skyskysky where are you based. If your near Middlesbrough I cn take a look Quote
skyskysky Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 I've taken a look and I dont see anything obvious that's stuck unfortunately. R35LEE - I'm in Ingleby Barwick - I'm not sure there's much to be done with this (I still wonder whether the SECURE message that displayed once on the radio, which was at the same time as the second key failing has something to do with it - but I'd love to be wrong). So if you were still willing to have a quick look then I'd really appreciate it - I could come to you or meet you somewhere inbetween...? Many thanks. Quote
M13KYF Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 it is to do with the NATS system, you will need to get the bose divorced viewtopic.php?f=17&t=20334 Quote
lrh Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 SECURE message that displayed once on the radio, which was at the same time as the second key failing The head unit is linked to the immobiliser and only works once a working key (that deactivates the immobiliser) is inserted. I've seen the "SECURE" on the display when I tried to get 2nd hand keys to work. Quote

skyskysky Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 thanks - this makes sense but would it lead to a physical obstruction inside the CD slot preventing CDs being entered??? Quote
skyskysky Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 R35LEE Do you know any good car audio/satnav shops in Teesside? I'm considering a Nurrish system but I just want to go and look at some options and the costs involved before I go down a definite route. Cheers. Quote
martinmac Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Pop along to LakeZ and Nurrish can fir his system for you. Quote

Cheers. check here, this looks like its going to be a fantastic system!! viewtopic.php?f=9&t=47410 Quote
skyskysky Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 thanks for the link - that does sound pretty sweet... Quote
lrh Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 actually linked to the ECU But putting the key in and turning to the first position only disables the immobiliser and that's enough to make the radio work Quote
