Out of sheer desperation I’ve come here! I truly need a #5 button for my 1996 Maxima bose radio. I tried some nissan forums but they all seem to have heavy restricions for newcomers and proved to be of no use whatsoever! Clarion wants to sell the entire face plate! I know there are plenty of broken radios out there that would be willing to part with one of their buttons but I’m having a hell of a time finding one! Normally I can find just about everyting I need on the internet but this time I’m stumped! If anyone can point me in the right direction you would make me oh so very happy! Thanks.

Have you looked around your local auto recycling facility, a.k.a. “junk yard?” ---

And are you sure the button isn’t still somewhere inside the car? ---

I had the same problem. What you want to do is take the radio out, you have to the the ash tray out and you will find a screw take it out and there are couple of others you have to look. Then when you have the radio out disconnect the power for 5 minutes then plug it back in this should reset the radio then it should work… My cd does not work on mine!
