Bose CD problem

My CD player accepts the CD, thinks about it for a few seconds, then ejaculates it.
I hate to spend a lot of money on repair of an semi-obsolete unit. At the same time, if I start upgrading I will probably spend $1000 before i realize it. I kinda like the idea of keeping it stock.
Bottom line:
Has anyone had this same problem and is there a chance it is something simple like a dirty lens or something ?

I have the same problem, as do many other Touring owners. Mine started with it would only do it with CDR's when the car was cold. Then it would do it with all CDR's when the car was cold, then all CD's when cold. Very common problem, but the only thing you can do is replace it, which isn't easy either. Bose amplifies each of the speakers individually, which makes it a bitch to hook up any aftermarket decks. Basically, you have to be willing to put the time and money into it to do it right, or deal with it.

I'm just dealing with mine till I have the money to fix it.

Yeah Vic, I tried to buy yours (I think) ?

I will try a CD cleaner, if that doesnt work, maybe a long q-tip thing + alcohol, if that doesnt work, i'll drink the rest of the alcohol and listen to my walkman

My CD does this also and I have found that CD cleaning CDs (the ones with the little brushes) do work but not for very long. I currently have to run the CD cleaning CD through a couple of times about once every six weeks.

It doesnt take too long so its no major hassle
