Nope, not at all! It just plugs right in the back of the factory head-unit, and you press the "media" button to switch to this auxiliary input! Works instantly, and CD's still play fine :-)

I have a single CD player and nothing about it has changed after installing the cable.

No, the CD player continued to work after I installed. Everything worked fine.

I didn't. The cable played through the AUX, still have CD and tuner features.

I don't know, like I said on my review it didn't work on my 2004 Mazda 3 Hatchback. But my guess is that the 6cd changer won't work since you are unplugging it.

I don't know what you mean by that. With the wire plugged in, you should still be able to listen to the radio and cd's. To listen to music from the wire you installed, press "Media." At least that's what it is in my car. It may be "Aux" in others.

I'm sorry ours has never done that. But I would just make sure the cd is clean, and then check the manufacturer's website or google it.

If you have the factory single-unit stereo/cd changer combo, it will still work. When you add this device, you use the "Aux" button (below the "CD" button), but the CD button functionality remains unchanged. On the other hand, if you have an external 3rd party changer that plugs into the same aux jack, you will have to choose one or the other.

We had to send the one we ordered back..thier was only the cd player in package, nothing to run it with? We had a 12 disk player in our trunk and wanted to replace that as it broke down..so not sure what too answer on your question. sorry...

Yes, you can, through the AUX input. Should work well; however, you may prefer the sound of the built-in CD player. (I do.) The secret is to run the built-in CD player non-stop for a couple days to burn it in. After that, it sounds very good.BTW, you'll need a stereo RCA to 3.5mm cable. (The RCA jacks go in the back of your multi-disk player, and the 3.5mm jacks go in the Bose.) These cables are dirt cheap, either on Amazon or eBay. If you unsure how to do this, take the Bose and your multi-disk player to your local Radio Shack, and they'll fix you up. (It will cost a little more, but still not very much.)

If it is in a "constant" power source you can use the on/off button and it will not byes power. If you plug it in an ignition controlled outlet it will turn off when you turn your car off. Either way it will pair up when you are within 20 or 30 feet of your car and play the last song it played when you turned your car off.

It is totally incompatible with our old system and has all new connections. SO we have not even attempted to dismantle the dash to make new connections .. It still sits in the box ! Will post when we finally decide to tackle it !! It is to replace pioneer system that is 12 disk JD-1212S. Hope this helps...

It has a headphone/line out for audio output, so you can plug in a headphone to RCA red/white cable for external speakers or just plug in computer speakers. Everytime you power it off, the CD starts from the first track, so it doesn't have that feature. This is just a normal CD player, just with Bose branding. It has excellent sound quality output and is better at reading scratched discs than other CD players though. Bose used to sell it for $50 about 5 years ago.

Have not used the AUx jack yet - Are you using an amp? Does it happen when you use just the CD player with a store bought cd. It could be the source you are using for the aux- Is it a phone - try and ipod as the source

I never had that problem. Try cleaning all your CDs. Make sure your CD player is level. Make sure your CDs are properly placed in the tray. Good luck

I haven't had a CD player for some time, but the connector out of the speaker is a male plug, so, I don't see what not. I would check and see what the return policy is just in case it doesn't. Also, the plug out of the speaker is only about 4 inches long. I use it on my iphone and my computer I bought a male/female connector and it works just fine.

I leave mine in my car but always turn it off. I have noticed that when left on and my radio off, it does not play automatically. I still have to switch off and back on in order to play. It may just be a compatibility issue with my radio.

No it doesn't. I just jot the # where I stop it & fast forward to it. I use my Chrysler T & C van cd player when I'm driving & it holds the place when I turn off, take CD out of player or just when I take calls. I can reinsert the CD, or turn back on or start van. It will start in same place I stopped it. I love it. I'd never buy any thing but a Bose player.

Yes I have, I finally unplugged it and left it that way for a day and then plugged it back in and was able to get the disc out. By the way you will soon come to regret buying this item, I hate it because it is so temperamental, but can't justify buying a different one until it completely breaks.

Hi, S! I'm sorry you're having problems...some CD players are "stand-alone" and will play CDs all by themselves....others need a receiver or some other device to allow you to hear your CDs. An easy test to see if your player needs a receiver or not is to look it over and see if it has a volume control. If it doesn't have a volume control, you need a receiver. If it does have a volume control, you've got another problem somewhere. It might be that the CD player is defective or it might be that you don't have your headphones and/or speaker connected correctly, or you may not have the power cord plugged in correctly. Hi, S!

Yes use an auxiliary cord that plugs into the headphone jack of the CD player then the other end plugs into the auxiliary input that is located under the middle compartment on the front of the unit. The auxiliary cord has a headphone jack on each end. (Aux cord)

I have an 06 eclipse gt and it is the same thing. No aux after pressing cd on the dash. Behind the steering wheel, there is a middle button that you can press. Keep pressing till you get aux. You will then be able to use the aux cord. It works perfect! The only thing is you have to take out the dash and plug it in the back. You would then have to fish the wire to the desired placement. Hope this helps!
