#154 of 204 G35 Radio/AC Problems by bigmurth Aug 09, 2009 (5:33 am)
I am having my fix performed today. My guy here in NM, Crystal Clear Audio....feels strongly that the culprit is the lousy Bose-badged radio that sets up the whole breakdown in the system by causing the shared circuitry with the AC controls to go haywire/inoperative. I have all the same systems and thankfully up to this point, I have had continuous radio/Sirius operation through the steering wheel controls and no interruption of my beloved Howard Stern broadcasts....hey now! We're installing the Metra brand aftermarket panel and AC interface, and a brand new Kenwood radio/deck. New tweeters in the doors, and a new transformer network to step-up/step-down power from the stock amplifier located in the rear of the car. With the new deck, and the mods/tweeters, etc., plus getting a radio that has the ability to pump out the satellite directly from the unit for better clarity of sound and having an USB/and Ipod hook-up...it's well worth it and I'm still under $700. The dealer wanted me to pre-pay for a special order of the audio finisher, with no guarantees that it would work, probably have to yank the radio for a re-build of dubious quality, and have to wait for two weeks with no sounds or AC...and a probable outcome that won't likely fix it permanently, for $1500-$2000...on a car that might be worth $6K-8K right now. I'm trying to wring another 40K miles out of this....and thanks to Infiniti's arrogance at the corporate level and disinterest at the local.....I'll be back in the arms of the Toyota Corporation for my next wheels...which is a bloody shame----as this car is one I've enjoyed owning on every other level.

Replying to: vfr0092 (Aug 08, 2009 10:21 pm) I have never done anything like remove a radio from a car. It looks complicated from the video. Do you recommend that someone who has not done this before try? Also, can you/how do you drive the car with the radio out? Do you partially put it back together?

Replying to: vicky12 (Aug 09, 2009 6:39 am) Hi Vicky,   This is the link to the removal process I wrote about. Its in the DYI (Do it Yourself) section of infinityhelp .com , check it out and see if you think you can pull it off. No special tools required. I needed a wrench to remove my car battery terminal, and a phillips screwdriver for most of the removal.   I can't remember if I drove it during that time. I could have though no problem. Following those guys I had the radio out in 1 hr,, but I was busting my ass to get it out and to Fedex on time.   Watch the movie and maybe have a buddy with an extra pair of hands.   You may call your local Radio Shop and ask them how much to pull it for you.   http://www.infinitihelp.com/diy/gcoupe/projects/infiniti_g35_radio_replacement_p- rocedure.htm
#157 of 204 The Fix is In (finally!!) ('03 G35) by bigmurth Aug 15, 2009 (12:57 pm)
It sounds like there are some of you out there that have had success with re-soldering/re-building the audio finisher board, coupled with re-built CD changers, resulting in a sub $500 fix. More power to you and I hope it's the cure, once and for all. I have just gone the other route in trying to avoid the "stealership's" solution that might ultimately cost upwards of $1500-$2000, and was no guarantee of it lasting! I had my guy here in Albuquerque NM (Crystal Clear Audio 505/892-5684), install the Metra 99-7604 Dash Kit (available on Ebay-ships immediately approx. $179--specify correct color to match dash!)--this gets the interface between climate control and audio circuits into the dustbin of bad memories. He installed a Kenwood KDC-X493 AM/FM/CD that has aux./USB inputs for IPod, etc., added some sort of transformer/modulator between the radio and the amp in the rear, to effect the proper speaker bias and adequate volume levels, tucked it all underneath the console (totally out of sight) adjacent/under to the shifter---and probably did some other things I probably don't need to know or understand....but what I've got is a superior sounding system, AC/heater controls that work the way they're supposed to....for about the same amount of money that the Infiniti people were going to charge to "order" the audio finisher...before any installations and hopes of a fix. And it all looks great to me, and I can now play my IPod through the radio, and my Sirius Stiletto is wired directly into the radio, providing even cleaner sound. Hey now! Thanks for everyone volunteering ideas and answers and best of luck to all who still need to get wired right! BigMurth

#160 of 204 CD player clicking by lynna56 Aug 19, 2009 (3:08 pm)
Hi, I have a 2004 G35 sedan in Raleigh, NC. Just recently my cd player stopped working and shows a ''check disc" message. I've also heard the unit operating after the ignition is turned off. Am I right that this is electrical (sorry, I'm a girl), and what should I expect to happen next. Any advice is much appreciated. I've read through many of the posts and fear I'm headed for trouble. Does anyone know where to take my beloved car other than the local dealership?
#161 of 204 Sorry, do not go to your dealership unless you don't mind spending $600 by vfr0092 Aug 19, 2009 (8:39 pm)
read my post earlier. Mine started with the CD error,,then within a yar progressed to everythign going out. Go to a local car radio shop,, Have them pull it and send it to Electronic Master in Deluth Ga. phone # 678-957-0686. yes mine used to make noise after car is shut off too,, but just for a few seconds.   1st CD error,, then lights on buttons go out. somethingabout the CD failing causes everythign to fail becasue the databuss from the A/C buttons and radio buttons go directly through the radio.

#163 of 204 2003 Infinity g35 coupe A/C & Heater fan problem by roopac Aug 27, 2009 (2:25 pm)
All of a sudden my a/c and heater fan just stopped working. on the computer it still reads that its on and blowing on max or whatever i set it to but in reality it fails to actually blow air. My radio is still working and dealer said it may be a problem with circuit board which can cost up to 1200$. i have only 56,000 kms and really doubt that this is the problem. If anyone has any idea what is going on or of solutions please help. it would be highly appreciated.   Thank you
