Joeycuz Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Hi, After recently carrying out the Bose iPod hack I've came across a problem. I followed the guide and when I went to play music it was all fine and worked perfectly. But when I got in the car this morning that "press eject" message came up. I've tried to hold the button in with the ignition off dozens of times but can't seem to fix it. Will disconnecting the battery help?? It's doing my head in so someone please advise Quote
Watshot Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 I had similar problems which appeared to be linked to the cassette carriage having seized through lack of use (I guess!). Even though I had removed the arm to fool the system into thinking the unit was loaded. Either way, freeing it up and ensuring that it is in the play position appears to be key. Others have poked with pencils or loaded old cassettes to engage the carriage. I would check this out first. Quote
rayhoop Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I have this error too... but mine is related to the CD player... I have 6 CD's loaded up.. and none play or eject... The unit asks me to press eject and nothing happens when I do. Any ideas before I surgically remove the CD's without the use of any anesthetic! Quote

Removed 2 CDs to add 2 new CDs I bought, added the 2 new ones and bam lol. Won't play or eject anything ! Looks like removal and strip down is needed ! Glad I have the iPod hack otherwise I'd be screwed lol :uzi: Quote
taffyjason Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 just get rid of it, best thing i ever did, i hated that bose head unit Quote
choptop Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Time to say good-bye to the Bose I think.....................well Clarion....................RIP Quote
taffyjason Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 there are some very good double din head units going at the moment, my JVC was only £200 down from original £400 (i think), you won't regret getting rid of that horrid little snot bucket of a bose head unit ! Quote
rayhoop Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I think that is what will be happening soon... Lets just say I wont be going easy on the unit when I recover my CDs from it! Quote
taffyjason Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 i might take mine to the shooting range, see how it stands up to NATO 7.62mm at 300m Quote
rayhoop Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Just having trouble tracking down the required adaptor loom (as mentioned in the how too guides...) I can find the loom to connect the new head unit (via the pre outs + ISO) to the Bose amp, but it doesnt appear to do the steering wheel controls too... Quote
BulletMagnet Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 i might take mine to the shooting range, see how it stands up to NATO 7.62mm at 300m Prolly no better than an iPad 3...... Quote
taffyjason Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 well i would have sold the ipad personally , but morally the right thing to do Quote
taffyjason Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 i have a single shot Ak-103, it should make light work of the Bose, failing that my friend has a semi auto shotgun with sold slug rounds! Quote
