Problem overview

Some Infiniti I35 owners report experiencing persistent freezing and skipping issues with their CD player, even after replacement. This problem is known to affect older models, and owners are advised to check for any recalls related to this specific issue. Environmental factors, such as cold weather or humidity, can exacerbate the malfunction, leading to skips; in such cases, dehumidifying the player may help. Additionally, the quality of CDs used can impact performance, as scratched or damaged discs, along with the use of DVDs or Blu-rays, may cause further complications. Hardware issues within the CD player, including problems with the read head and potentiometer, are also potential causes. If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, seeking assistance from a professional auto repair technician experienced in CD player repairs is recommended to diagnose and address the root cause.
