2004 Infiniti G35 coupe w/ bose stereo. When the radio is playing, all of the speakers work. When I am listening to a cd, all work but the drivers door speaker. You can hit a bump, and it might come back on and it might not. But this is only when using the cd player. Any suggestions?

This is due to a loose audio ribbon cable that the CD player feeds to the head unit. If you whack the console on the driver's or passenger's side (lightly) you can get the speakers to come back on. Problem is, it will only get worse over time. Under warranty? Take it to the dealer, they'll replace the head unit. Out of warranty, if you're handy you can pull the radio, find the cable and snug it in.

    Call Crutchfields and get a USA spec conversion kit and it goes into your i-pod and no more CD ****! It's a bit of a job, but I love it!

It sounds to me like maybe just a loose wire on the speaker itself. The radio could for some reason feed the speaker using a different wire, but that would be kind of redundant. I would take the inner door panel off and check the wires on the door speaker, pull on them a little and see if any are loose. If they are, you should be able to just solder it. Let me know if this is the case, if not, we can troubleshoot it further. Good Luck

When I turn my cd player on all i get is CD ERR FO.

This is a common problem on the early year G35s and also on Infiniti/Bose head decks in general.

The stereo can be removed and sent to an electronics repair shop who can replace the damaged components, or you can go with an aftermarket solution.

I believe this problem has somethind to do with the laser going bad, but I could be wrong. I've seen this on numerous Maximas and I30s as well as G35s.

Infiniti G35 speakers don't work

03 and 04 G35 vehicles had a Technical Service Bulletin issued regarding the audio circuit board. No sound was one of the symptoms of a faulty circuit board. There was a design flaw with the boards on the early model G35's that was corrected in 05.The audio units on those cars consisted of three pieces, the radio itself, which is just a silver box, a circuit board that attaches to the front of the radio and then the outer display. I would suggest contacting a dealership service dept. with your VIN number in hand, and ask if the circuit board has been replaced. Even if it has, It will still more than likely be the problem. It's either that or the radio

Driver side window not working for g35 infinit coupe

This is a common problem on the G35. The window regulator/motor have most likely gone bad. I've also seen a case where the switch was the culprit. Try clicking the switch up repeatedly a few times and see if that does the trick.

How to remove jammed cd infiniti g35 coupe

This is a stereo we see in shop for repair on a regular basis, see www.carstereohelp.com for repair. However, I have one suggestion before thinking of repair. Disconnect one of the main car battery terminals for several minutes. This is much easier then removing and reinstalling the stereo in this car. This may act as a reset and bring the changer back. Otherwise, repair is needed.

2004 G35 Coupe CD/Radio

I have the same car and the same problem. After doing some research online and talking to my Infiniti dealership it turns out it's a fairly common problem with the head units (I have a Bose HU). The only real solution is to replace the HU. The service center at my dealership quote me about $500 for parts and labor. I'm so happy that it happened just AFTER the warranty expired :(
