Hi Guys,
Bit of a book here, but I hope it all helps.
In March our CD player in our car started playing up, it would click for about 30 seconds whenever you started the car, sounded like a grinding of the trays on the 6 stacker. Anyway after months of looking for the solution to this problem I finally went about getting stuck into the unit to find the problem and to try and fix it.
Now there is a lot of information in www.g35driver.com
in regards to this problem, it seems to happen a fair amount and usually the best way to fix it is to take it to the dealer for a replacement under warranty. However seeing as most of our cars do not come with a Nissan Warranty we are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I followed the instructiions provided on the g35Ipod install DIY as well as the many DIY on the g35driver site.
All the information is fantastic.
Now I finally got the unit out and had a proper look around, it appears that there is a problem with the actual CD player and not the trays themselves.... I am ok with that, as I finally have all the CD's out so there is no Clicking noise any more... However and I must stress this... There is a white connector that goes between the Radio Controls Circut Board and the Radio Unit itself... The little metal filiments are very fragile and are prone to flaking whilst you work on the unit. Once I completed the work on the unit, I started to reassemble everything... But the filiment had broken off slightly on the one end... poooof!!!! Fried the LCD / LED Radio Display ....
So now we are on the hunt for a new unit. I will go through Nissan Aust to see what prices we are looking at for a whole unit and also for the Display Unit....
