Replying to: vicky12 (Aug 09, 2009 6:39 am) 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 |

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 |

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? |

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. |

| Help, my infinity's battery was drain since light was left on. Had someone jump it but to no avail...We tried 3 different vehicles to jump start. Doesn't start at all but the dash clock is running. What's up. Can someone help. | |

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 |

I think it is clear by now that the factory radio in the G35 is a piece of crap. This is one of Nissan's cash cows. I had the radio in my 03 G replaced three times. The last time I installed the Metra kit with a 2 din Pioneer radio with GPS instead of another factory radio (originally installed a single din first, but did not like the look so go with 2 din). Not only does the Pioneer look great, but the sound is better too. I now have hook ups for iPod and other accessories that I did not have before. I will be installing the adapter to add radio functionality to the steering wheel so I won't be missing anything. The only thing that I would like to improve in the Metra kit is the hvac buttons. They look a little cheapish, but they work. Do the research and deside for yourself. Chances are that if you keep your car long enough the radio will go out again. There is a reason why nobody will give you more than a few months of warranty on the factory radio repairs. Good luck!
