Hello to everyone.
New member JDX here.
Having purchased my new car I am disappointed with the electrical problems Im having with it from the outset. I have fixed the central door locking & the sunroof & the coolant level warning (when the coolant level is good) but have had no success so far with the cd player not working. Thanks to Dave @ DND for his advice - it seems my unit is u/s - the carriage is jammed & cannot be repaired. Ideally, I do not want to change the look of the centre console by putting in a different type of unit, so Im hoping to locate a replacement CCR2006. Please let me know.....thanks.

Needs to be BOSE enabled

OP`s profile says CDX so would be non-Bose I`d imagine

Erm . . . Stereo in front of me says BOSE 

[albitz]

Unusual for a CDX.Possibly retrofitted ?

[Dave DND]

No idea - stereo has come in here for repair with a jammed mech but is currently BOSE enabled.

I`ve pointed the guy at this website, (good to see he joined up) but it may be worth anyone with a solution for him to talk through about identifying whether his car is actually BOSE fitted or not, and does not simply have a "wrong" head fitted, as I am aware that this is a new vehicle to him.

Look after him though, nice guy to deal with.

 

[albitz]

Yep. Would be a good idea for the OP to have a look and check that the car has Bose amp & speakers.

[twiglet]

Looks like he might be pretty close to you too Albs

Im currently on hold to Vauxhall customer care (30 minutes now!) to try to establish if the car was supplied with the Bose system initially. This may take some time .............

Read your PM`s. I`ve explained how to ascertain whether Bose is fitted

Give up with that one - far quicker to look on the rear shelf and see if there are two subwoofers fitted.

Speakers fitted = BOSE
No Speakers = far more options now open to you

[Dave DND]

I`m a muppet ! Should have mentioned this   

If anyone has a working CDC3 or lower changer 2006/2008 section that works, it may be far easier to swap over the mech and vertical board as the rest of the head unit is ok

 

[JDX]

I did read my pm's RobG & am just uploading some pictures which I will post shortly. What I can tell you now is that when I turned the stereo on it said"BOSE STEREO" on the dashboard display - is that a clear indication of it being fitted? Also, I have the original car pass (credit card size card with vin no etc) which says on the line:
Radio Type/Code = 0206/****.
The car is registered 04/09/02 2.2 litre diesel estate - 1 previous owner, 49000 miles......

[Dave DND]

The message on the display is what I have also taken it from, but you will need to make sure that it is the original stereo to the vehicle as a BOSE stereo will run a non-BOSE system, but not vice-versa.

Checking the rear shelf for speakers is the quick way to tell.
