My head unit has probably 60 hours or less on the CD player and < 1hr on the cassette since I normally just listen to FM and use an FM transmitter to listen to MP3s. So if you're interested after I remove the unit, let me know.

I think converting to an after market double din is the way to go.
I'm just wondering why no one's found a reasonable fix for the board since it looks like a fairly common problem!

yes, this has been a common problem on this board.
mine has been good for about 2 weeks since i stop using CDRs, the manual states that its not good using burnt discs anyhow, so that might have added to the issue.
if the issue returns, i'm going w/ an aftermarket DD. the dealer will try to fix the radio first, then circuit board. after its said and done, you could be looking at $1300 in repairs.

Yup..that's exactly what the dealer said.
They're 95% sure that it's just the radio, and not the board.
They said they are able to get reburbished HU for about $350...and of course if that doesn't fix it, they move onto the Audio Finisher Board.
Likely around $200 in labor to remove the old HU and put in the Refurb HU.

The failed circuit boards have been a common issue, and failed HUs tend to lock up, giving the dreaded "Disc Error FO" display.

Agreed.
I'm going to go with an aftermarket head unit.
It came back to life briefly this morning, and I removed all of the CDR's that I had in it....shortly thereafter it failed again.
I think I'll go with the Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD and the Metra kit....can't find the Metra kit in Canada though, and any shops I call want $300 for it, when I can order it from the US for around $150
Anyway, thanks to everyone for the replies!

The TSB or Voluntary recall from Infiniti shows you exactly how to do it (with pictures)
You can download it here:
http://x.infinitihelp.com/forum/loca....php?catid=180
On a side note, I got all of my CDR's out of the BOSE HU, and now everything has been working fine (about 5 stop/starts at lunch)...
