Lexus ES 2013+ :: Stereo Won't Power Down
Jul 18, 2015
My wife and I carpool in our ES 300H and we were on the way to work recently when my phone rang. I should explain that I am the passenger and she drops me off as I am closer to our home (and her phone is paired to the car). Anyway I tried to turn the stereo off so I could better hear the caller and stereo wouldn't power down. My wife also couldn't adjust the volume on the stereo or the steering wheel. The controls simply wouldn't respond. When she stopped the car to let me out, she shut it off completely and then was able to regain control over the stereo.

13 Elantra sedan. When I turn the key to on (engine not running) The stereo turn on normally.(NON -NAV) Start the car and it turns off, no screen, no audio, just like i hit the power button. Load up the electrical system, max A/C, headlights, Etc. It turns back on like nothing happened. Voltage on the battery is 14.3 with no load and right around 14.0 when everything is loaded and i finally get it to turn back on. Do these head units have an over voltage protection? 14.3 doesn't seem that high to me.

I test drove a nice 2014 IS350 today, it had a red LED on under the Mark Levinson stereo logo, does that just mean that the stereo is on, or is that an error indicator?

I recently got a 07" with 80k miles but no navigation. I got pioneer stereo with a backup camera and now my airbag light is on and the installer telling me that I just need a obdII scanner to clear the code and I am all set.

I have a 2007 ES350, Navigation, climate control, touch screen all works, radio powers on and functions as if it was working. back about 6 months ago the sound audio began having a mind of its own and working randomly, very annoying to say the least. Well, now it quit all together, no sound for a couple months now.
I am knowledgeable in the area of car audio, electronics, engines etc... I think this car has a factory OEM amplifier, although I have not located it in the car yet. I know the amp is getting power because I can hear a turn on thump when I power the head unit on and off.
So I think there is a cable/connector between the head unit and the amp that was loose causing the erratic behavior, and now the bad connection = no connection as if someone yanked the RCA jacks on an aftermarket system.
FYI, I already pulled the head unit from the dash and looked for any loose connections, found none, put the thing back together and am getting really frustrated with no sound.

This happened while I was driving.. Stereo shut down, Nav screen went blank, then immediately rebooted as if I had just turned it ON.

Today while driving the stereo simply cut/lost its sound. Radio and everything else still works buttons screen, just no sound. Turned the car off, it sat for 5 mins and turned the car back on. Sound came back for nearly 20 sec and then cut off.
Looking over the Lexus history the ML amp was replaced with what Lexus history shows as an upgraded amp per TSB about 30-40k miles ago if I recall.
The previous amp issues when it failed was the chipping noise, correct? Could I still potentially have a failed amp?

When I started the gx up today I couldn't get the volume to go up or down, not on the steering wheel. I turned the stereo off and on several times throughout my ride to work but it didn't change. Then when I got to work, turned off the vehicle and turned it back on, it worked. It's like it got glitchy and needed to be reset.

Sometimes the volume button on the stereo nor the buttons on the steering button do not increase or decrease the volume. I can turn the stereo on and off - still the same. If I turn the engine off and on - this issue goes away. It's only just started happening in the past few weeks.

Experience a hissing sound from stereo, specifically mark levinson. The hissing sounds occur from certain songs and when the engineer rpms are around 4500.

Volume and equalizer controls stopped working on my 2002 this morning. Were functioning when I drove to the tennis club but not working on subsequent start up.

We are looking for a 2005-2006 GX 470. I like all the options that come on them but I have always felt the more you have the more you have to fix. Some of the $ spent to maintain the GX is not a problem such as mechanical items. I like the vehicle enough to be willing to deal with the air ride suspension in the future. If the navigation system goes out does it take out anything else? I do not feel a great need for the navigation and was wondering if it should be a factor in our purchase?

I was trying to change my disk from 12.1 to 13.1 in my 2008 GS 350 AWD. so I ejected the disk via the screen, took it out and put the new one in. Started making a continuous clicking sound and then took the disk half-way out then in then totally out. Ok, maybe a bad disk so I tried to put 12.1 back in and same thing happened. Ok now I tired the original disk that came with the car. Same thing. Very odd. It worked fine up until the second I took it off.

I recently joined the Lexus club purchasing a GS300, and I am very excited. I was thinking about swapping out the head unit, for something a little more modern, like an Apple CarPlay system. As I already have the Mark Levinson system in the car, if I were to change the head unit, would the Mark Levinson system be ruined or unusable, or would the new head unit integrate into the system. I ideally want to keep the ML system in tact, but have a more updated head unit...

Recently had battery problem on the Passat. I had to have the car jumped and the stereo was on. Now I have no power at all to the stereo, everything else seems to work fine. I checked fuse panel, no blown fuses. Is there a separate fuse or breaker for the Monsoon system.

My wife has a 2007 Jeep Compass. The stock stereo stopped working one day. It had no power going to it. My wife's father is a mechanic at a car dealership. He's an older gentleman and isn't very savvy when it comes to modern electronics such as stereos. He tried to fix it for her. He ended up telling her the stereo was "burnt out" and she needed a new one. She was bummed out because the stereo didn't work. I bought her a new aftermarket stereo for her birthday and it came with the installation kit and the adapters and connectors. She asked her father if he could install it for her. He tried and couldn't get it to work. One of his coworkers looked at it and said he suspects there is a "bad wire" somewhere, possibly under the gear shifter? He bench-tested the original stereo and it still works! Where do we look for the "bad wire" ? How do we find it? They haven't been able to find it so far. This model does not have steering wheel controls for the stereo.

Picked up a 2016 GS 350 F Sport without the 1 touch power trunk and the wife is dying to have that trunk.
Is it at all possible to have it installed aftermarket if we didn't buy a GS350 with it?

I bought a Kicker 6x9 speakers rated 300watts for the rear of my Corolla 2009, i did not feel any changes in sound and power of the stereo, i tap the stock speakers too just to compare but it sound the same to me even on a 40 and above volume.

I recenty was having some problems with my 2003 6.0 liter. My FICM connection was not seated all of the way which casued my truck to just die without warning....... AFter I had fixed that, my stereo died. Just dead??? Nothing...EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS???
So, after I had messed with everything I could think of, I thought, OK new DVD/Stereo time.
I checked fuse #32 which was the fuse to my stereo. The fuse is fine...BUT...There's no friggen power to the fuse via my test light. Test light works on other fuse spots so I know i"m not getting power to the fuse #32.
Since I don't have any power to this fuse....WHAT NOW???? How to trouble shoot this problem?

As of yesterday the gas pedal started losing power completely. It only happens for a brief moment when I'm driving and only in the morning. The car does not shake, rpms don't drop and no check engine light. I'm not sure what's going on, I can't replicate it so going to Lexus is pointless at this point.I was thinking maybe its my fuel pump going bad?
