I totally agree... I'm going to give Cartoys a call to see what they say.

I have posted my ongoing issues with this. I had the same stereo and console panel issues. I had to replace my battery about a month ago. It had began to need a jump to start after sitting a day or two. After the battery replacement the audio/console began to work perfectly and has so far. Well- that new battery is now completely dead. I am replacing it today. I have had to jump start the car daily fro the last couple of weeks.
I am assuming from reading about this, that the audio is draining the battery. I will disconnect it while I am home till i can figure out what is going on. Would removing the fuse for the audio help?
Both my spouse and I are unemployed and I really have to find the most economical fix for this.
My dealer here in Atlanta says that 95% of the time the replacement of the bose audio fixes this problem.

OK -- here's the straight poop. I spend months dealing with this last year, and obsessed over the solution, so I'm telling you what works (and not what I think). The problem is the circuit board on the back of the radio, which is integral with the climate controls (bad design). Components fail, or the solder fails. This CAN be repaired. If the entire unit is removed (not easy), it can be shipped to a place in Orlando which fixes these all the time, and did mine in one morning, several months ago. They do several every week! It will cost a couple hundred, far less than a "new bose" which is stupid suggestion -- they are no longer available. But you say you can't afford to do anything right now. The problem is that the radio has a slow drain on your battery, even with the radio off. That's why the car is dead after a day or two of no driving (mine would die on Monday morning, especially if I didn't drive on Sunday). There are TWO audio fuses in the G35. The one in the kick plate fuse box (to the left of the brake pedal) is NOT the one that will matter. Don't waste your time. There is a SECOND fuse block next to the 12V battery under the hood. You have to remove the trim panel and cover from around the battery to even know it was there. In that fuse block there's a 15A audio fuse. Remove that one and the radio will no longer drain your battery. The downside: the radio/CD no longer plays. Also, the AC will run however you had it set before pulling the fuse. You can not change the fan speed, temp, AC to on or off, etc. But those are your only two choices -- fix it, or disable. A lot of other posts seem to include what people think, want to try, or get into unrelated problems which muddies the issue. I spent a LOT of time getting to the bottom of this, got it fixed absolutely-positively. I was damn close to selling the car over it. If you want the name of the place in Orlando that can actually fix the problem, let me know. They do quite a few that are shipped to them from elsewhere.
