Hello there,

I have an issue with my radio in my 04 G35x. Smoke was pouring out of the tape deck over the weekend. When I looked in there I saw 5 pennies and a nickel in there. (The work of my 3 year old)

Well there is no sound from the system now.. It still turns on and the functions work except there is no sound at ALL.

Anyone knows how to fix this. Weather there is a circuit board that controls the sound or one whole system.. Where can I get parts and so on.

I’m in NYC

Thanks in advance

 

Your best bet is to do a double-din conversion and install an aftermarket head unit. Lots of us have had the stock system break. The only place to buy one is the Infiniti dealer and it costs thousands of dollars. Maybe you can send it out to be fixed, for instance, here's a shop that deals with Clarion (they make our head unit): Short Circuit Repair

 

Yeah, 04 headunit's getting ready to die anyway based on observed longevity of others.

Double din time!

 

u should thank ur son. he did u a favor

 

Thanks for the advice.. i will look into the Double Din.. seems cheaper and better than fixing it.

any sugesstions on a good DD Unit.. and can I keep my OEM GPS?

Everything you need to know, right there. The guy who put it together is awesome.

 

As far as good ones?

What's important to you? iPod/iPhone? Bluetooth? DVD? Nav? Voice control?

With kids around, I'd probably go with one that doesn't have a moving face... or maybe do go with a moving face and use a lock code on it, so they'll cover up any slots.

Pioneer's 4200 is a great choice if you're not interested in nav or voice control, even the 3200 is quite good.

 

I'd also recommend one of the Kenwood double-din units. I've got one that's a couple of generations old now, but their GPS is built by Garmin and is a million times better than the GPSes in competitor's units, but their audio user interface is less polished.

 

Thanks For the Advice and links ... Guess this Upgrade is a early father's day gift to myself. HAHA

thanks again
