Default Bose Radio Stupid Question of the Day...

Car: 91 200 20v

How do you turn on the CD changer? I put a CD in the changer in the trunk (yes it is plugged in), turn the power on the little remote with the curly wire inside the car and turn the radio on and all I get is the radio station it is tuned to. There is no "CD" button anywhere on the radio and it says nothing about the CD Changer in the owners manual or the Radio Operating manual... WTF?

Default Check the Bose web site for your CD changer model...

and look at the instructions. It may need a different head unit. You can also find head unit instructions. HTH.

Default Early cd player used RF (radio frequency). You will have to set your radio

to the frequency that the CD is broadcasting and use the remote control to change CD or track. This aka FM modulator.

Put a CD in the player and turn it on press play on your remote. Set the radio to FM and start scanning the stations until you find your CD playing.

Default Thanks for the help... got some more questions

I found the radio station but it is not a clear signal. The radio sounds perfect on a station with a strong signal but the with the CD player on you can hear lots of static and you can kinda hear the station in the background. Any thoughts???

Also... the rear deck speakers are the only ones that work. When I fade the sound all the way to the front the Drivers door speaker is very faint and the Passenger and dash speakers got nothing. I'm very pleased with the sound coming from the rear speakers I can only imagine what it sounds like with all of the speakers rock'en out. Any ideas where/what to check?

Thats again for all the help!

"with the CD player on you can hear lots of static and you can kinda hear the station in the background"

This is one of the shortcoming of FM modulator. Also it sounds as though you really don't have the right station dial in for the CD player.

You should be able to change the frequency that the CD broadcast. First try to find a frequency that isn't being used by another station (good luck on this one) and set the cd player to the new frequency. I don't have a manual for this CD player so you will have to figure out this on your own.
