I know its not the best, I really don't listen to music in the car much, I hate the radio, but I was just wondering if I could fix it.

A $100 unit will sound much better and have better features, stock radio sucks.

Hit the reset button or try sticking in another cd and the stuck one might come out.

Time for a new radio. Same thing happened to me, got the CD out since it would slightly come out, but then after that the CD player didn't work at all.

Got a new radio and couldn't be happier.

It's more expensive to have the OEM radio rebuilt (over $300 with pack/shipping), so just get an inexpensive radio/CD unit and be done with it. Maybe add Bluetooth while you're at it and call it good.

I installed a double din touchscreen and it was only $130. Works great and has Bluetooth. Well worth the money and time to install.

Same thing happened to my previous 03 track edition. I went through the hassle of taking apart the head unit to get the CD out only to find out 2 days later it had happened again. I bought a used OEM head unit for like 20 bucks here on the forum and called it a day.

As others have said, replacing the head unit with an aftermarket one is probably better. I hate how the aftermarket units don't keep an OEM style finish, so on my 07 Nismo, I just kept the OEM unit and installed one of those iSimple Bluetooth interface modules. Now I have Bluetooth connectivity for playing music out of my iPhone and hands free talking.

I'm thinking of replacing the radio what make/model do you recommend? I would like to be able to stream music via bluetooth and also hook up a wireless back up camera. I'm not real good at this stuff but willing to try. I saw a youtube on how to take the radio out it was a bit scary.

You are on the right path (i.e., replace your car’s H/U). You will get a much better result replacing the H/U, amps, and speakers.

Even the inexpensive H/U's provide great sound, external amp and SubW support, and backup video.

It's very easy installing and wiring this stuff in a 350z. The car has a plethora of cubbies and wiring paths.

All I want to do is replace the head unit. Main goal is a back up camera I really don't listen to the radio while driving with the top down, I enjoy the sound of the car more. Any suggestions on a unit with video input and blue tooth? Must be a youtube out there but I can find it I'm sure lots of you have replace the head unit with something better. Do I need a special bracket or wiring harness?
