Speaker is buzzing. would like to just get a replacement speaker from Radio Shack or somewhere close.
Does anybody know the size? WOuld rather go get the replacement speaker before taking the panel off. Assume an ez replacement.

And, CD player is holding some cd's hostage....doesn't play and will not spit them out. Anybody know how to retrieve them??

If you go to http://www.crutchfield.com then you can select your vehicle and they will tell you what speaker size will fit in your car. In my opinion this is a good time to replace all your speakers to get a better sound. Unless you get the exact speaker it will not sound the same. Also to remove a stuck cd is a pain. First you need to remove the head unit and then disassemble it. Here are two video's that walk you through it. Good luck.

Cool! Thanks!!!
yeah, I had seen those vids....I also have a busted door on the compartment over the radio, so when I replace it I'll check the radio at the same time.
I did rescue cd's & fix my son's CD player in his 05 focus a while back when one of his friends force fed it a cd.

You may have hit the stripped plastic gears issue in the CD player. Mine did that. Took it to a repair guy that Modern Infiniti uses to repair the radios. $250 to repair the cd player, and also upgraded/patched all the resistors/etc for the radio and HAVC controls. If you need to and can't find a place around you this guy is in Mocksville and have his card at home.

Thanks Biggie, I remember you talking about this before. Good to know!
Haven't had any issues with my controls (knock...knock..), but if I do I'll hit you up for sure for details! Wonder if that's becase mine is a 2004.5....
