How to Remove Radio / CD Changer / Navigation from Infiniti G35 for Repair

[@fosteralan4]

Who ever put this video up has really helped me a lot to understand how i need to take my center console out cause i had no idea how it all came apart mate you are a life saver thanks very much for your help.

[@FloridaJoe3]

I only needed to pop up the center console on my '05 G35 but your first instruction on removing the stick shift knob was very useful. Keep up the good work.

[@FOREVERKING93]

You damn near gotta take the engine out to change the radio smh

[@unitedwestand9490]

Tony Stark 😂😂😂

[@Bubblez914]

Right! I'm sitting here watching like, he might as well just disassemble the entire car.

[@miketyson69]

This helped massively in preparation to paint the interior trim in bayside blue to match the exterior. Putting it back together was easier than imagined too. Many thanks

[@TacitG]

As I'm watching this I'm glad my ashtray issue will take less than a minute to fix but damn that CD changer...

[@psychomotif]

if you say I would need to buy a new stock radio or get mine fixed means the problem is with the radio so why won't installing a new radio fix the problem ?

[@Drrn43]

For my 2003 Infiniti G35 Sedan (111, 300 miles), no need to remove the 2 trim panels above the stereo and glove compartment. I spent the most time with removing the plugs / connections. I had HiTechElectronics repair the radio, AC/heater climate control buttons, and tape player. Although my CD player intermittently worked prior to the repair, Omar of HiTechElectronic said the CD player did not work any longer. I spent $225 for the repair of the power connections + shipping + tools (i.e. stereo removal kit that includes panel remover from Walmart) = $323. I chose not to repair the CD player since I can use my nano or iPhone via FM radio blue tooth transmitter. I hope the repairs lasts for a while or until I buy my next new car. Thanks a lot Omar for the repairs and HiTechElectronic for the video tutorial.

[@vk56datty]

very clear instructions, thank you. took me 30 mins to install my radio. only problem you'll have is the foam dash trim will damage a bit at the edge of top of the radio trim.

[@yelkin2]

thanks for the detailed description and thorough walk-through. I'm replacing this unit with an AVIC + metra kit but funny thing is as soon as I pulled it out a bit from the dash it started working. Must be a loose connection, no? Either way this sucker is getting replaced!

[@jodyjones]

Hey so do you know any aftermarket navi/dvd player that can fit that top pocket under the clock an can pop up like the original navi do or do u have them for sale at your store online

[@psychomotif]

So whatever i said is possible right? changing the dash kit and aftermarket radio will fix the ac/stereo freeze problem. Thanks again for your professional advice. I am going to use your video to remove the factory stereo.

[@random240dc]

Great video, thanks! Would you be able to make a howto for removing the navigation dvd player above the glove compartment in the 04 G35?

[@ericlampham]

You guys are great! Thank you for posting this how to video. I have the exact model and I'm about to install an ipod converter. Thank you very much.

[@JonJonFreshMusic]

@HiTechElectronic my a/c goes full blast with no control and radio doesnt work, so if I replace both of them will the problem be fixed FOR SURE?

[@ahood60]

@HiTechElectronic is this a sedan or coupe or is the set up the same in both?

[@cfpkiller77]

great vid man!! keep up the good work and hope you stay busy! thanks!

[@MuNCiieZ]

I think I'll take mine to a audio place... I did my Mazda Millenia by myself. It was so easy. With the G takes SO MUCH MORE.

[@lledesma72]

Hi, My radio and AC controls on the center panel are not working. The radio works if I use the wheel controls. I read online and it seems it's a common issue on 2003/2004 G35's. The integrated board (AC and radio) gets damaged. Do you guys repair the board? If so, then how much?

[@waynewalker7209]

Hey will the Ac not stay on full power if repair the control panel and how much do you charge?

[@psychomotif]

I have a 2003 G35 coupe, intermittently the ac/stereo freezes where the ac blows at full speed and stereo wont stop at high volume no matter what i do. Do you think that if i put an aftermarket headunit, it fixes the problem?

[@uhanif1188]

@HiTechElectronic I cannot move the gear back from Park because it is stuck. Is there any other way I can take off the console? Or the circular plate under the gear? I need to access the shift lock button to try and put the car in reverse/neutral. (Battery has died)

[@alfredotatum53]

Great video! Helped tremendously!

[@OCDRUMGUY]

Great video man! I learned a lot from this.

[@HiTechElectronic]

You need complete wiring harness, display unit and the navigation drive unit. I would suggest a portable navigation unit.

[@ahmer9800]

Thank you so much for making a DIY video!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I bought my G35 04, with a bad CD player, i use the tape (tape 2 mp3) but im scared that the unit might give out anyday.

[@91342George]

I had CD problems myself on my 04 G Coupe where the CD gets stuck, all i did to fix this problem was held down the Eject button for under a min and the CD came out, happen to me twice and worked for me both times. I was having the same error message just like everyone else, try holding down the Eject button for a while see if it works for you like it did for me.

[@teemarsters5477]

Hey bro can you do a video about how to remove that headunit thing above the glove box area please

[@HiTechElectronic]

You could do it, but you also need to replace the A/C control panel as well with an after market unit.

[@iiSup3rior]

I have a 2002 Expedition XLT it has the 6 cd changer but it's not part of the stereo itself it's in the middle part of the car and I have to open the compartment to change the cds. Is there a way to change it?

[@msgeneva225]

Is there a way on the 2004 Infiniti coupe to take the manufacture cd player out an change it out to a better deck

[@friedegs]

Question: I have a "power supply" issue, with no radio working, no control over the AC. (AC is stuck on full blast, ice cold!) Once the head unit is removed, can the vehicle still be driven? Will the a/c continue to blow on the "stuck" setting? or will the entire climate control system not work until teh radio is reconnected? Thanks!

[@wotsup9oo]

Can I change the radio for a more modern one?

[@Kevo83Lbc]

THANKS!! This video was a big help!!!!

[@jodyjones]

So its not worth the upgrade of the navigation system theirs a guy on craigslist selling the whole unit for 300 an the glove box with the dvd player I want to do a complete swap will it be to hard what I need to do

[@jodyjones]

How bout if I want to install a navigation stock G35 system what will I need

[@s14attack]

Wow! did not know I had all that work to look foward too.

[@HiTechElectronic]

AC would would work fine after the repair. Please check our website for prices.

[@ivan872007123]

hey would you be able to repair a g35 2003 cd player the radio volume fades out

[@deknicer]

how much you guys charge to repair the stereo ? if is the cause of the inop buttoms and ac on all the time ?/ thanks

[@Desi9]

@justlooking1115 did u get a answer for this? i was wondering the same thing

[@HiTechElectronic]

Problem is in the CD section of your radio and it can be repaired. If you decide to replace the radio with the after market unit, you need to replace your A/C control with the after market unit as well.

[@Shaolin80000]

This was a great video. Thanks

[@JamesBoone-v7j]

My G35 Infiniti radio went out how much do you charge to put one back in I have the original one

[@Jimothy408]

Hey help I removed my cd player and dropped it of at the shop but as I was driving back the heater turned on full blow. How do I turn it off??

[@zoltec88]

hello any way you can do a vid on a mercedes c class 2002 up

[@HiTechElectronic]

Just unplug the battery in the car and plug it back in, it might help to reset the CD mechanism. If that does not work, then you need to take it to your local electronic service center or ship it to us for repair.

[@HiTechElectronic]

You get this error because the CD mechanism is faulty and needs to be repaired but we do not know anyone overseas. You could ship it to us if you could not find any service center locally.

[@rickyymunoz]

Do you think it’s a good idea to spray paint the plastic trim pieces ?

[@HiTechElectronic]

The paint will come off and gets dirty. You should be able to find a good used trim on ebay.

[@dukviper90]

@HiTechElectronic Actually it could be. IF you removed the battery, the engine might need to relearn the idle. BTW, thanks for the vid. I was comfused when i got to the glove box. LOL.

[@oscarmelger7672]

I have a question on an Infiniti G35 2004 if it has only Am fm cd changer stock radio is it possible to use a stock radio with Navigation System?

[@HiTechElectronic]

It is possible but not cost effective. Also why would you install a navigation system which is a 10 years old technology.

[@HiTechElectronic]

The problem is the radio but if you want to replace it with an after market radio, then you need to change the A/C control unit as well. The easiest and cheapest way is to have your radio repaired.

[@davidhoag8077]

Excellent video!

[@TheVishuvish]

I have a "power supply" issue, with no radio working, no control over the AC. It seems like this is a common issues with Infiniti, is it possible to repair this?

[@erick019]

My 04 G35 stereo sounds like its has static and then suddenly stops playing its still on but wont play for a while is that something you guys can fix?

[@RayTFM]

Can I swap a stock radio to stock navigation 04 g35 sedan

[@carlosrojasg29]

If i send you my OEM/Factory Dash Kit would be posible For you to modify to fit am LCD stereo withou cuting the A/C

[@HiTechElectronic]

It is not simple, but you could try.If not successful, sell it back on craigslist. Keep in mind that you are buying an eight years old technology. For navigation purposes a portable Garmin GPS has more feature.

[@HiTechElectronic]

A/C can not be controlled if the radio does not function at all or if it has been removed. Normally A/C stays on one setting.

[@fl0wmastr]

great video! thanks buddy!

[@HiTechElectronic]

Try disconnect the power for the radio or just unplug the battery for couple of minutes, if it did not fix the problem then you need to have your CD Player repaired.

[@HiTechElectronic]

In the near future. Thanks,

[@HiTechElectronic]

You need to have your CD changer repaired. If you could not find any service center locally then you could ship it to us for repair.

[@HiTechElectronic]

You do not need to replace either of them. Just have your radio repaired and that would take care of both problems.

[@HiTechElectronic]

The problem is either the radio or your amplifier. You could send it to us for repair or take it to your local service center.

[@Ceoisher]

what oo you do if your cd player is jame & want eject cds. i have a g35 smart car my cigarette lighter is in a different spot. It seems that infinti wants to charge $700 for a replacement radio. saying it cant be repaired. I dont want to spend no money on buying a new radio or installing a differrent one it has to be a way to un jame the cd changer. Infinti made a mistake putting that cd change in the radio ..

[@carlosrojasg29]

Hey buddy is there any wey if i can cut my OEM factory dash kit intead of buyin a Metra Kit?

[@HiTechElectronic]

Without the kit A/C won't work.

[@techtron2376]

HiTechElectronic Who cares anyway just roll down the windows

[@vietredneck]

Great video!

[@dannavarro8420]

thanks for the tutorial!

[@HiTechElectronic]

The problem is in your radio and you only need to send your radio for repair not the A/C panel. Please visit our website to get the quote.

[@yoshifan706]

How do I remove glove box and change cabin air filter/bulb.

[@HiTechElectronic]

Yes, it is repairable. Please check our website or call 800-580-3376 and send only your radio/cd player to us for repair.

[@SilverSeakid]

5:09 to 5:14 Where the F*** can I get that trim that sits RIGHT ON TOP of the radio? I bought the car without it and I cant find it anywhere #$#@! Anyone know the part number????

[@brownkhoney]

Did you ever find it??

[@SilverSeakid]

Kerline S. I contacted InfinitiPartsUsa.com and sent them a circled picture of the trim in a pic of the radio and this was their exact words "The piece you have circled is not serviced by it's self. That is part of the whole face plate. To get you the proper part number for it we will need your VIN number. Thank you". Kerline, I have yet to email them my VIN# b/c I too lazy to go inside my car and write it down, but I'm not trying to buy the whole faceplate just for that part either. BUT there's some hope, I read a discussion on a G35 fanboy forum and someone in the thread found the correct part number. Read the discussion for yourself. Copy and Paste: g35driver.com/forums/interior/426240-trim-above-radio.html

[@SilverSeakid]

Kerline S. The piece they are talking about is $92! OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! If you wanna drop the dough here is the link: www.infinitipartsusa.com/Infiniti-Part-Number-68411-AC700-p/68411ac700-.htm

[@HiTechElectronic]

Unplug the battery in the car and plug back it in to see if the changer reset itself. If it is still jammed then you need to have it repaired.

[@blakejohnson8414]

All I want to do is put carbon fibre wrap on the plastic part! This is an epic procedure!

[@VRTRedStage]

great guide. thank you.

[@elkynmaury3289]

Sup Cholo thanks for taking your time man, I'm working on changing my right this moment following your instructions, hope all is well 👍

[@HiTechElectronic]

After market radios do not work with your A/C panel. Only Stock radio would do that.

[@HiTechElectronic]

The G35 & 350Z have totally different Radio & A/C system.

[@psychomotif]

Look at 997604 - METRA 99-7604 Recessed DIN Mount Silver I think it does retain the functionality of the ac.

[@mbjackson17]

My cd player just says eject disk... But it never will. I was told to find the cd changer and hit the reset button. Is this true? Please help. I'm on Pittsburgh pa and the radio stations suck here!!! Lol

[@HiTechElectronic]

We have not seen any of them coming back after being repaired properly.

[@techtron2376]

Hey will this work for Nissan Skyline V35 250GT 300GT 350GT Sedan/Coupe?? Please?

[@TheJamshed02]

AP499D25 YES it does , i own 350gt skyline in australia and its the same

[@frostbite1991]

AP499D25 these ARE 350gt Skylines. Infiniti is just a brand Nissan uses for their luxury cars here in N. America.

[@HiTechElectronic]

We do not sell any navigation. Please check with your local car stereo shops.

[@jocelinlimon1576]

i have a infiniti g35 the radio stopped working so we unistalled it and when we put it back now the car wont turn on ?

[@HiTechElectronic]

+Jocelin Limon The radio has nothing to do with starting the car. Your battery might have been discharged during the removal.

[@rottingcorpse21]

Wow all that oil to fry one egg. Could Infinity had made it more difficult to take out a stereo?

[@hgdge]

youre a god. thanks.

[@HiTechElectronic]

That is right.

[@HiTechElectronic]

It is always good to turn the power off but if you have to leave it on, it is fine.

[@rodneyakjohnson451]

God damn now im thinkin twice about this shit

[@Ellwood76]

ya me too...i "burned cds" for the first time in forever. never thought id have to do that shit ever again.

[@HiTechElectronic]

Disconnect the battery in the and plug it back in, hopefully that would reset the radio.

[@aplex323]

OMG. Thats a lot of work for something simple, Fucck That.

[@HiTechElectronic]

Installing after market radio won't solve the problem. You need to buy a new original radio or have yours fixed.

[@HiTechElectronic]

Yes, we could repair it.

[@truleo78]

can you just replace the screen?

[@scottburke6812]

How did I know it was going to be so much crap? Everything on my infiniti is going around the block to get next door.

[@HiTechElectronic]

That will do it but not just replacing the radio.

[@Toppmad]

Thanks

[@Handlez831]

Dose anyone know why my g35 won't let me insert a cd?

[@mariogamer6452]

Every afternoon I get no sound, but comes in the morning, I don't have navigation system.

[@HiTechElectronic]

+MarioGamer 80% is caused by the radio or %20 by the amplifier.

[@HiTechElectronic]

I am sorry, we do not any removal instruction for your model.
