Bose unit has CD/Cassette - problem - Smoke started pouring out of the
cassette player slot & I had trouble getting the cassette out of the unit.
I then disabled the player. 1. Any idea what could have caused the problem?
2. Any suggestions on what to look for, & where, in particular to look, if
I should take the unit out? 3. Any idea where I might find a free
schematic online on this unit? 4. Any way to disable the cassette player
ONLY, so that the FM & or CD player could still be used? 5. I read
(somewhere online) that the standard stereo for Maxima can not be
installed when the car came with the Bose set up. I would purchase a used
unit, if I could locate one & know that it is compatible. I searched eBay,
and evidently the Bose I have is not easy to come by.

1) Sometimes the Bose just dies.  The smoke thing is new to me.  I
would suspect a blown capacitor inside the unit.
2) If you disassemble the unit I would look for distorted electrolytic
capacitors (the cylindrical ones).  Be careful, if it's large you
should discharge it first.  I repaired my Bose amps by replacing all of
these capacitors with Panasonic equivalents I bought at Digikey.
3) No
4) I don't know
5) You must use an adapter like a Scosche to properly connect an
aftermarket headunit to Bose speakers without damaging them.  Google in
the domain 'maxima.org' for more info.
