Thanks...like I said, I remembered someone mentioning it wasn't covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty. However, when you hear bumper-to-bumper...you would think that it would be included. Guess that's just another of life's oxymorons.

Thanks. All "sound" advice. LOL. It occurred to me maybe replacing the head unit to get one with a USB port for an IPod might be in order anyway. Do you have any thoughts on which aftermarket units fit easiest & best into the Azera? Thanks again, Eric

Eric,
 
It's pretty much anything goes in regards to what can work in the Azera opening. You can go with a single din (regular sized radio) and end up with a pocket above or below the radio, or you can go with a double din (which is what the OEM unit is if you have the Infinity system).
 
Kenwood has a very nice unit that has a USB plug on the front...
Kenwood DPX-503
 
Pioneer has a very nice unit as well...
FH-P800BT
 
JVC has a nice offering too...
JVC KW-XG700

Again, thanks for your advice.
 
Checking with a local automotive/marine (supposedly high end) audio system supplier & installer I was told my "sound cut off" problem is a failed Infinity amplifier. I was further told that because my Infinity speakers will only work with the Infinity amp, not only will I have to replace the audio unit, I'll have to replace the speakers too. Does this make sense to you? Why would presumably passive Infinity speakers not be usable as long as the wiring, ohms & etc., all matched up with the new unit? What am I mssing here? Thanks, Eric

If it is the amp, then you can actually take a look at it...make sure the connections going into & out of the amp are snug & secure. If you still have issues, contact Harman-Kardon's OEM department and see if they can do anything for you since they are the manufacturer. I know they've helped some out with actually changing the specs on the amp for a couple of Azera owners that thought the center channel speaker was too strong. The amp is located behind the rear seat on the passenger side. Pull the trunk liner out and you'll see it.
 
Also...if it's cutting off and on, it would seem to be a short somewhere. You could pull all the speakers to make sure all the connections are secure with those as well. Ultimately, if you secure all connections coming off the radio and going to the speakers and at the amp and it still is acting up, it would be an internal issue with the amp.
 
Anyway, the speakers can be replaced independently of the radio. That's the joy of an outboard amp as opposed to the set-up Bose employs. Heck, if you wanted to, you could by-pass the factory amp if you really wanted to. It would take a bit of work, but you could easily install an aftermarket unit and run speaker wires back to the trunk where the OEM amp is and splice them into the wires that are the output wires from the amp.
 
As far as replacing speakers go...all the speakers are 2 ohm impedence except for the tweeters. The sub is a dual 4 ohm sub, which creates a 2 ohm load at the amp. However, you can switch up to 4 ohm speakers if you want, there will be a slight drop in output since the impedence will be higher.
 
I've already provided you with a guide to remove the radio, I also have a guide to replace the door speakers and the center channel speaker if you decide to go that route.

Azera DVD Player by bmb1767

My salesman hinted at me that there is a way to bypass the issue with the DVD player only working if the car is in park, but would not elaborate. I see the safety reason for it, but if I am traveling with children (or adults for that matter) I would want it to play.
 
Is this possible?

I haven't dealt with the factory nav/dvd players in the Azera. I know with aftermarket units it can be done. I would think that it could be done with an OEM unit, it's a matter of finding the wire that you would need to "short" to make the unit think the car is in park. However, with aftermarket units, they have the ability to operate in dual zones...meaning the unit in the dash won't allow you to see the movie playing, but the monitors in the back will get to view.
 
It has been said...anything is possible, question is...how far are you willing to go to make it happen. You would have to find someone that knows how to do it and do it on the side. No reputable shop will do it because they don't want that on their hands should an accident take place, then the owner of the car sues them.

About to have 30,000 mile service. Dealer service offers the "minimum" recommended at $385 and "superior" at $465. Any advice/experience with these choices will be appreciated.

Nope. The lady who booked my appointment rattled off a number of additional services, e.g. lube door hinges, engine additive and other stuff I didn't make a note of. Starts to sound like an upsell with minimum value to enhancing the performance/durability of the car ... but I remain open to other comments.
