Clarion 6 disc cd changer are defective, error 2.
- Sharon Hill, PA, USA
I own a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder SE that is configured with a bose/clarion 6 cd changer unit. The unit failed in 2007 giving an err 2 message. I had the unit removed by empire Nissan lakewood, co who sent it to be repaired twice to a service contractor. Both times the unit was returned reinstalled and failed again. This is a defective product. An internet search revealed many other consumers reporting the exact same err 2 problems with their audio systems.

Factory cd changer for 2001 Pathfinder le becomes jammed, will not play cds or eject them, shows an error code of err2. After doing research on the internet, I found out that the unit is manufactured by clarion and that many owners of the same vehicle have had the same problem. If Nissan know about that problem why don't recall it?

6 cd changer cd player never works, I have tried to call Nissan as I found 100 of similar complaints but no response. The cd system is by bose. One of the top cd makers in the world. Dealers will charge 2000 to fix it, is it really worth fixing it for 2K I would rather install of the mkt one, however it shows poor customer service and quality.

My 2001 Nissan Pathfinder 6 disc cd changer went out on me the other day with the dreaded "err2" message. This is clearly a defect that the manufacturer is not taking care of. Something must me done.

I have a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder that has the 6 disc bose cd change, I have contacted the original dealer of the vehicle as well as Nissan and clarion, the manufacture of the cd player and have received multiple snow jobs. All I am looking for is the defective player to either be fixed or replaced with a new unit, I know that I am not the only one out there after researching said player on the internet. I found out that several hundred if not thousand people have the same issue.

Nissan Pathfinder 2001 le - 6 disc bose/clarion cd changer does not work even after attempts to repair. Dealer will attempt to replace as a courtesy, not covered by warranty, but service manager and internet users both stad this was a known problem with Nissan.

Second time bose 6 cd changer has failed since purchase of my certified pre-owned 2001 Nissan Pathfinder in April 2004. Same err2 message - grinding of cd's - no play, no eject. Already spent $250 getting fixed about 18 months ago - now same problem recurring.

This complaint is in regards to my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. The 6-cd in-dash changer does not work. It makes a clicking sound when you try to play a cd and displays "err2" on the screen. After researching this problem on the internet, I found that hundreds of other Nissan owners have this exact problem. The cd changer is rendered useless once this happens.

I own 2001 Nissan Pathfinder and the clarion bose 6 cd player keeps braking down. This is the third failure and Nissan nor clarion are willing to fix. Moreover I was shocked to find out that hundreds of other users across discussion forums are complaining about the same problem. Clarion made a crap of cd player so they should stay behind their product. Thank you!

The cd changer in the Nissan Pathfinder 2001 has inherent defect. It appears that the mechanism inside fails no matter what type of repair it goes through. I contacted both Nissan and bose and no assistance what so ever.
- Toronto, 00, USA
I have a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder le that has approximately 74000 miles on it. This summer, the oem 6 disc cd changer by clarion in the car has stopped working properly. It was not used inappropriately or abnormally in any way. I inserted a cd into it, and it displayed "err2" on the screen, and began clicking repeatedly, and the cd did not play at all. I was able to eject all cd's from the changer, but the unit continues to not work. In subsequent attempts to play a cd in the changer, the same error "err2" displays and I hear the repeated clicking. I have not tried to replace the unit or fix this problem at all. I have done some online research and found that this is a very common defect in Nissan Pathfinders by readying/joining a forum where hundreds of users are experiencing the same problem. In fact, I have found pay services dedicated to repairing this unit because of the overwhelming population of users with the same problem. I believe Nissan should resolve this issue immediately. Thanks.
