I just purchased a 2005 facelift Mazda Atenza and found the bose stereo seems to have an intermittent issue playing CDs.Sometime it works absolutely fine and others it won't read a CD at all or freezes.Has anyone else had an issue like this and would know where to get this fixed in Hamilton!

oh no! these are a pain in the butt! once they stuff out you have to get a whole new one. the air con an heating are part of the centre console so are really expensive to replace. you might have to get an ipod addapter if you want to listen to your fav music.

Have the CD's been copied off the computer! I have heard of these causing issues in a few different manufacturers units.

yes, one has that I tried. Though I have had the issue with a new CD I just purchased as well. Just stopped out of the blue and came up with "Check CD".I'm really hoping its not stuffed, its one of the reasons I chose the car :)

This is why I hate the fact manufacturers are moving away from DIN.pain in the bum AND wallet.

Sometimes there is a DIN space behind all the curvy trim, all you need is the appropriate bezel and it's all good.Failing that, I agree it's very lame.
I'd see if you can have an iPod interface installed and just buy one of them to leave in the car. Way more convenient than CDs and probably a damn site cheaper too.

I actually looked at getting one of those put in but turns out that they aren't reliable.

Get a 2nd opinion. It's a wire.

On what basis have you determined they're no good! Just wondering, cause I've seen examples of several different kinds all working just fine.

turns out nothing was wrong with the cd player, I had it checked out and cleaned and an auxillary added so I can use my iPod.Also found out it has an HDD.I have no idea how to access this, its all Japanese music, apparently it a sanyo HDD.Has anyone come across this in the Mazdas!
