CD mechanism is jammed due to a nylon guide that has splintered in the transport. the discs cannot be removed without literally stripping the whole thing down.
the unit can be repaired for $550-650 depending on the overall condition of the CD unit. parts are Ex Japan
MY CD PLAYER SKIPS OR WONT PLAY NORMAL CDS - I SEE 'ERROR F3' ON MY SCREEN
time for a new laser. repairable at a cost. WORST part is the labor to remove and refit it. laser is available locally. this IS NOT a DIY job
DOES THE FACTORY CD UNIT PLAY BURNT CD'S / MP3 format
- yes it does. it DOES NOT play CDRW. it does not play mp3 discs
CAN I CONNECT AN IPOD TO THE FACTORY RADIO
yes and the radio WILL control it OR if you have the factory NAV screen it can be done as well.
the other one will use the factory radio as a controller and you can drive the IPOD off the steering controls IF you have them.
CAN I REPLACE THE RADIO IN MY CAR IF I HAVE THE BOSE PREMIUM AUDIO
yes it is possible.
you need:
new 2DIN facia panel to suit your car.
new A/C controller (two versions with 'DUAL' button and without)
Bose interface (there are two versions with NAVI and without.)
Rear Bracket
Nissan Storage Pocket
note if you do not have BOSE audio the process is a LOT easier. you do not need the bose interface.
CAN I ADD AN EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER(s) TO THE EXISTING RADIO
without bose audio - yes you can. the process is the same as a 'normal' radio.
with BOSE - again yes but you will need an interface.
I WANT TO CHANGE MY SPEAKERS - WHAT SIZE ARE THEY??
front are 6.5" tweeter is a 1" soft dome
front speakers require a mounting plate to be made for proper fit.
rears are 5.25" and require TOTAL removal of the rear area for access.
if you have BOSE audio the 'subwoofers' are 6x9s. amplifier is located in the boot rear left on floor under panel in coupe and under rear shelf in sedan.
I HAVE FACTORY FITTED NAVIGATION WITH TV. HOW CAN I:
1. GET A MAP DVD SO IT WORKS IN AUSTRALIA
2. CHANGE THE TEXT TO ENGLISH.
3. CHANGE THE TV SO IT WORKS HERE.
1. No. There are no maps for this unit used in the Australian market. It can be converted using a local unit if Navigation is required
2. there is a software hack in the works from russia that will reportedly fix this. see HERE for this. this DOES NOT FIX THE MAP ISSUE!!
3. Japan use an ENTIRELY different televison system that cannot be converted for operation here. a local tuner must be fitted for TV to work. it is suggested that the antenna system be changed as well for one with higher gain and better reception.
Hi Chris. I have 2001 v35 350gt sedan. The stereo broken. I bought a second hand to put in. It works great with Aircon but stereo like Dics and Radio not work. It couldn't find any FM or AM channel. It show CD error F3 on screen. I am grateful if you could give some advice.
