In my04 burb the CD player works fine until I play copied cd's for a long time. They get stuck and or stop working. Dealer told me its only with copied CD's and he pulled my 30amp fuse and 15amp radio fuse to reset my factory radio. Is this normal and have nay of you guys had this problem. Also CD's get very hot.

Try a different brand of blank cds. I like to record them at lower than maximum speed. your burning software allows this setting.

I have been making and playing my own music cd's for years and have never had a problem with them. Try a different brand as suggested and don't go for the cheapest brand available.

I've found that I can't burn CDs at the max setting or they won't read in newer factory CD players. Also, certain brands of CDs will work at higher burn settings than others. It all varies.

I just had the same happen and actually the cd is still stuck in the slot wont play and wont eject.Then i find out that with the bose setup there is no such thing as replacing the deck unit without changing every speaker and not only that the complete system would need to be rewired! :nopity:

I'm calling the Bulls**t card on that one, that doesn't make fiscal or physical sense to make a part so exclusive that the WHOLE system has to be replaced. That means that if you blow a speaker than GM has to pay for an entire new system down to the wiring. I understand maybe the amp and MAYBE by some stretch that the speakers have to be replaced to match ohm loads etc. etc but why the hell would you replace the wiring. i think somebody is playin you for a fool.

Im not being played for anything, im just going off what 3 out of 3 car install establishments told me.I do not have the standards system it is the bose setup to which ive seen similar complaints.There is no way i can buy a aftermarket headunit and plug it in and have it work with the stock setup, it will take new speakers along with new wiring to said speakers or atleast thats what every place has told me.

 

I cut my losses short and bought a 2gb ipod, no more lugging around cd's or making dupes of them to take in the car.I have pretty much put 20 or so cd's on this thing and still have room for another 20.

You also have to remember that stereo install places don't really make much off the actual installation of stereos. They don't make their money up front either. They make money by selling you s**t you don't need, and then installing it for you...rewiring your entire sound system is a LONG job and they're going to get paid pretty good for it.

Which is why you just install everything yourself. It really isn't that hard to do, and a helluva lot cheaper. And speakers are speakers. It would be pretty hard and expensive to make a speaker that would only work with one specific head unit.

Completely agree with you. There is very little that I won't take the time to install myself.

You could always make friends with someone who has all that, buy them some beer, and let 'em at it!

 

Thats what I like my friends to do anyway :flag::)

      Winter Returned

      By OnTheReel · Posted

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.
