I am having the same problem as everyone one else with the loss of function with the radio and ac controls. I took my G35 coup in to the Cincinnati Infiniti dealer and they told me I needed a new radio finisher to fix the problem. the Total cost would be $1,350 plus $100 for labor. Does any one have a solution to this problem? Would a new after market radio installed fix this? please help thanks

I had the same circuit board problem with my 2003 Infiniti G35 that has been discussed by lots of folks. I took mine into Electronic Masters in Duluth Georgia and they repaired the board problem, installed a new 6-changer CD Player all for $450.00. Everything is working perfectly now. All radio/AC and other electronics are 100% repaired! The closest Infiniti dealership was going to charge me $1,250 plus tax. I am thrilled that I saved over $800. I

Same G35 2003 Infiniti problem with AC and radio.
Took it to dealer in Cleveland and he wanted almost $1600 to fix the problem. He was willing to soften the blow by waiving the $60 diagnostic charge.......wasn't that nice of him.
I mentioned the ITSB by Infiniti and he said that the replacement had already been done once...a month before I bought the car from the dealer
I took a pass on the dealer fixing this.
I had someone local take out the stereo (amazingly involved) and I am currently driving around with an empty dash. I am sending my stereo into Factory Car Stereo Repair people in FLA. for them to fix it. They have been nothing but nice on the phone and I have the expectation that everything will go well.
The local guy will put it all together when they are done.
Just my 2 cents on this amazing Infiniti debacle

I also have a 2003 G35 Sedan and have the similar problem of the AC/radio controls not functioning. I have seen this problem about 2-3 months ago when suddenly the stereo used to stop suddenly while playing. Then after few days i saw all the lights on the ac/stereo panels to turned off automatically. They would go on and off intermittently. Initially when the lights go off, i could not control the stereo with the buttons, neithr i could change the temperature or could not turn on the defogger. But i could control the stereo by the remote on the steering wheel. But since past month, even that option is gone. I can see from the previous posts that this problem is related to the Bose Stereo which probably needs a replacement, but what I need to know if anyone knows any place in Seattle area who can do this. I dont even want to go to the Infiniti Dealer in my area after reading the experience people had after taking their Infiniti there. Does anyone from Seattle area facing such a problem and seeking a reasonable (not costly) solution? Does anyone know any place here who can fix this problem?"

Hello...I also live in the Cleveland area and am experiencing the same radio and a/c problems.I cannot control the radio from the dash and the a/c runs constantly. I spoke with two local dealers and was told I would have to pay 115.00 to have a known defect diagnosed!!!! NO way...Just curious as to what you did or are doing to fix the headache...the cd player has never worked since we had the car ...about 4 years now....I did speak with Infinit Corporation and they could care less..Idid receive a qoute for 1600.00 also...thanks for listening and any input would be geatly appreciated...Jim Campbell

Find a really good car stereo shop -- preferably one that the dealer subs their stereo work out to... You will need to have your cd player replaced and the amp rebuilt. The amp is the problem. It pulls to much voltage and shorts out everything in the console. It can even drain your battery as it gets worse. I ended up getting mine fixed for $400.

hi kimbracrowe
So what you are saying is, the problem of Stereo/AC controls not working is actually a Stereo/Amp problem. After reading previous posts I was drawing that conclusion, but just wanted to confirm. Also, where did you get this fixed? I have a third party extended warranty on my car. I wonder if it will help me out here. Any thoughts?
Thanks for reading.
