Welcome to NICO! I recommend this shop:

They've been doing circuit board replacements for years now.

Welcome to NICO

I would visit a few audio shops in your area that specialize on working on hi end automobiles such as Acura, Infiniti, Mercedes etc and get estimates on replacing the audio system before trying to repair the OEM one.

Good luck

I just used Short Circuit to repair my 03 G35 dash

They did a good job, relatively fast and not too expensive ($225 + $20 ground shipping)

The best part is that nobody else but them gives you 1 year warranty on their work... At least I didn't find anybody else....

The worst part of this deal is that you have to pull out your in-dash CD changer and player yourself....
it's not too easy, but not too hard either....
I took me about 30 minutes to do that using instructions...
it wasn't too bad tho.... especially for a guy who rarely repairs his car by himself...

I recommend to use Short Circuit !

To replace the OEM will cost you an arm and a leg

you would need to order the aftermarket din dash which will run you for about $150-175 depending where you buy it + the cost of aftermarket CD player + installation (unless you do it yourself) + pain in the butt of rewiring of the whole thing !
The only good thing about it - it separates your climate control from your audio board.

I decided to pay $225 to repair and keep OEM parts....
your car values more with OEM parts if you try to sell it later....
but if you planning to keep it until it dies, then of course get the aftermarket

Aftermarket JDM kit is like $275...but well worth it IMO. You will spend more money but the sound quality alone from not having the "BOSE" rebranded Clarion head unit is worth the upgrade. Plus, it allows for much better versatility and you won't have issues with the 6 disc changer getting CDs stuck.
