Ok.. I have the same problem everyone else is having with the radio/ac controls...I own 03' G35. Infiniti replaced my radio 2 yrs ago bc it was not playing CDs or ejecting them (no chrg due to being under factory warranty) Two months ago, the radio shuts off and the heat comes on full speed with no way of shutting it off.. The next day it goes off and this continues for about a week. Now the stupid thing is stuck on 83 degrees due to our cold mornings and hot evenings (Dallas) so imagine me sweating all the way home after work bc of this stupid problem!! Called Infiniti that serviced my vehicle only to be told that it was a problem with the radio and the fee to replace it is $650.00.I got online, did my homework and came across this website to find that there are a ton of other people out there that are dealing with this same issue. Called Infiniti back today -spoke with service mgr and like heck he didnt give a rats tail about my problem..so I agree with all comments about their lack of caring about our safety.. I dont have a ton of money to spend on trying to see if one repair is going to solve the problem only to have it return months later... so my question is ... did anyone try installing an after-market radio? Thats what I'm considering since Infiniti is blaming the problem on Bose. If I can get out of spending 300.00 or less, I'll be happy with that but not the 1200.00 plus that everyone seem to be spending on a circuit board only to exp the same problem later. I enjoy this car--no problems what-so-ever til now....

Replying to: amethyst73 (Mar 24, 2009 8:33 am) I live in Fort Worth and am having the same exact problem with my '03 G35. Which dealership did you contact? Sewell, Grubbs? We are in the same exact boat...love my car but don't want to spend the $1,200. |

Replying to: hunter351 (Mar 24, 2009 11:25 am) I checked into an aftermarket dash console/finisher and spoke with the service manager at Infinity and he said that an aftermarket finisher/radio ABSOLUTELY would NOT work in Infinity autos. He said I would be wasting my money. We're still having the same intermittent problems. I'm hoping Intinity still step up to the plate and make a recall for these vehicles. I'm wondering if that individual gave it try.... I'm going to give Best Buy a call just to get their opinion.

Replying to: amethyst73 (Mar 24, 2009 11:33 am) controls are dead, stereo does not power up, no functions work? This is not an "Audio Finisher" problem like the dealer$hip may lead you to believe. This is a stereo problem! Repair rate will range $185-295. When the dealership replaces the Audio Finisher, they also replace the stereo. http://www.carstereohelp.com/infiniti.htm
