QuestionHi .. Excuse this 73 year old if I'm in the wrong forum .. my wife's 98 Mazda 626 has a Bose system .. neither of us use the CD much, but the radio is great .. the Bose has been installed for 4 years [out of warrentry, I'm sure] ..
anyhow, yesterday, I turned the radio on, and NO SOUND on am/fm and no CD playing...the antenna works up/down and the volume indicator works .. I immediately took the car to my local garage to have the guy check for fuse[s]; all ok! .. then I called two Mazda dealers .. they want $65-$120 to UNINSTALL/SEND TO BOSE/REINSTALL after BOSE will charge ? for the repair .. I understand the TOTAL could be several hundred dollars ..
Being on a budget, unless there is some quick/easy "fix" I'll have to just buy a cheapie am/fm for the car .. any comments will be appreciated..
Thanks in advance .. Manny
AnswerMy suggection is go to a local stereo shop and get a firm installed price on their cheapest CD player. If they are pros, they will gladly help you out of your problem. Some big box retailers have good install bays, some don't. Check for MECP certification, and ask to talk to a manager and get the price quote firmed up so there are no surprises.
By the way here are some old info pages;
