[QUOTE="tjustin7, post: 8248643, member: 660491"] Greetings all, I have an 2003 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA, with the stock 6-disc BOSE cd player. Recently it's malfunctioned with an error "PLAYER ERROR" and seems to be unable to eject disks, and cannot eject the disks. I was able to physically pull the stuck disk out, but the unit continues to try and eject a disk, fail, and then give the error. The AM/FM radio works fine. I went to a "major car stereo store", and they said because I had a 2003 GM / BOSE stereo system, I needed: a standard CD Player - $100-150 an adapter to convert 12v to 0.3v due to the BOSE system - $150 a steering while adapter so the volume controls on the steering wheel work - $120 Brackets, etc, for a total of $475 after taxes. Just to play CD's in the my car like I could before. Is this for real? Surely other people have had this issue? He suggested NOT getting a unit from a junkyard, as it might not work, and, having been off for so long, may not work due to anti-theft. Note the stereo has an AUX button on the front, but no AUX input on the front of the unit. Is there some other solution that doesn't cost $475 to make this so I can play CD's? Is there some hidden AUX input on the unit that i could somehow plug an iPod or something into? Thanks for any advice/input. [/QUOTE]
