My 2000 Miata has 22K miles and today the radio stopped working. Fuses and battery are fine so would anyone have a suggestion as to the problem? It's a Bose with CD player. Thanks!

I have a 2000 Miata with 22K miles on it and my Bose radio/CD player stopped working. I checked all the fuses and everyting else works. Do I need to dismantle my dashboard?
