Today my Media system rebooted twice while playing a CD...
The first time it happened was right on start of the car. Was stuck at the confirm "you know how to drive" screen then it rebooted and came up fine.
The next time was at the end of my drive went to lower the volume. The volume bar updated, but the actual volume of the system didn't change. The system then rebooted and came back up fine.
Is it possible to play any videos in the navigation screen? Thinking of playing videos off my camera or phone.
View 6 RepliesThe navigation screen keeps rebooting - Shows Lexus logo then warning message, waits a few seconds and then repeats. So radio, navigation and all others functions are not working any more....
View 5 RepliesI have an intermittent electrical problem that I thought was the alternator but my mechanic says isn't. Every now and then the sound system will start rebooting and the heater fan may stop and start.
Normally voltage across the battery is about 13.8v or more. At times the car changes into the error state which continues until the car is restarted. It may then or may not re-enter the problem state.
When the car is in the state where the radio re-starts, the voltage across the battery drops to around 13.2v. The two big fans on the radiator start and stop according to the thermostatic control. It is this startup that causes the radio to restart etc. I got one flash on my multimeter of a drop to 12.8v across the battery on the start. This would be due to extra draw to start the fan motors and is usually too fast for my multimeter to react to.
Entering problem state might happen once a month. It seems more likely on long trips and is so intermittent it is hard to diagnose. Its start coincided with the replacement of the head unit with an after market one. I have checked repeatedly for loose wires behind that unit that are shorting out, now I am thinking it is somewhere in the charging circuit.
I recently purchased a 2015 Camry XSE on November 23rd. I have the Entune Audio Plus system in my vehicle. The first thing I noticed while driving home is the music I was playing through Bluetooth was changing pitch constantly. The closest thing I can relate it to is a cassette tape being slowed down with dead batteries. It's brutal. My mom bought a 2015 Rav4 on the same day as me. For the past month I've been doing nothing but trial and error. Here is what I have come up with.
My radio while playing bluetooth skips, speeds up and down (pitch change) and gets really bad static. Also, when I use the steering wheel controls to change the song it changes the song INSTANTLY. In my mom's Rav4 and my friends 2015 Corrolla, it plays for about 1.5 seconds before changing to the next song. This is the buffer being played out. Mine doesn't create a buffer and is playing the data stream in real time. If any interference happens or the clock rates change it gets reflected in the pitch.
Now, I called Toyota and explained it to them. They had me read what audio version I had in my car. It says "0744". It listed two items, Audio and Operating System. The rep on the phone was taken back and said NOTHING was installed on that radio. What is supposed to be listed is bluetooth drivers, kernel and a couple other things. My audio version should say DU.60.74. She told me to take it to my dealer and they will update it through USB and it only takes a couple minutes.
I have really driven my Corolla until the stereo system stopped working a month old. The audio just stopped during one rainy day when I was playing a CD.
The stereo unit appears still functioning and I was able to take the stereo out and un-plug/re-plug in the 4 wires connectors in the back. A couple of times, by doing this, the audio came back for 10~15 minutes and then went silent after that.
So, what could be the cause of the issues? Could it be there some short in the wiring? How would trouble shoot this issue further?
I have a 2009 Sonata Limited with the Infinity sound system.
Was driving along today, with music and bass quite loud and the front driver door speaker just simply turned off. All other speakers work fine, including the tweeter on the driver side.
Before I take apart the door panel to check for connections (my main suspect), I'd like to have your opinions on this issue. I already broke the tweeter panel when taking it off to replace my broken side mirror, I'd rather skip taking this off again, with the door panel, if I don't have to. But I assume it will be inevitable to get started!
I have an iPhone 5S and whenever I plug it in to my car it automatically switches to the iPod input and starts playing tracks in alphabetical order, though sometimes it remembers to continue playing whatever I had playing on my phone before. This is rather annoying because I'd rather the car stay in whatever input mode I had it, and if I do switch to iPod or Bluetooth, I want it to *always* remember to play what I was playing before, even if it's Pandora and not "iPod" music. Is there a way to configure the JBL system to do this? Or at the very least stay in its current input mode until I manually switch it?
View 3 RepliesJust bought a Certified 2012 2.5 SE about a week and a half ago but I have a question. I've connected my iPhone through the system just fine, but the system automatically added it as a bluetooth media device as well.
The problem is, It automatically starts trying to play music no matter what I'm listening to (usually SiriusXM)... In order to save battery, this pretty much forces me to either;
1) remove the phone from my pocket and turn off the player each time I get in or connect it to the charger cord.
2) Go through the menu and disable to media portion on the MFI.
Trouble is, either method seems to be a temporary turn-off.
My question is this... Is there any way to permanently disable JUST the media portion of the bluetooth connection without disabling the phone part?
My media player has crashed about 5 times, most of the time the scenarios are as follow:
-restarted during music playing through bluetooth
-restarted during navigation + music playing through bluetooth
-restarted during music playing through bluetooth
-restarted during navigation
And today, my media player failed at searching songs from USB drive, couldn't connect to my phone through bluetooth, then restarted after i re-pairing my phone and re-insert usb drive. Everything went normal after restarting.
Other than the media player, couple days ago, I slowly turned my car all the way right, trying to pull my car into my garage at about 3-5 mph with brake applied, i hear this loud high pitch noise, went back and forth couple times with the same motion, sound still appeared..
I see trunk leak has been an issue for while and Nav has been an issue for IS models.
View 4 RepliesMy radio displays the word "Safe" when the car starts and will not work. I am guessing that the electric system failed at some point and I now have to put a code in the radio to get it to work. My question is: exactly what buttons do I push to do this?

View 2 RepliesAbout 2 weeks ago I was driving along and my entertainment/control center began to reboot itself about every 2 minutes or so. When it reset itself it would often times be unable to be used meaning that say if I had the climate control up I could not adjust anything with the knob or button and could not control any of the stereo controls along the bottom either. Is this an issue of needing my battery replaced or is this a faulty and malfunctioning infotainment center?
View 7 RepliesThe media button on SYNC quit working last week(2010 F150, six cd player, no navigation). No voice commands or phone, also can not perform the "Master Reset" because the phone button on dash does not work. I have had this issue before and pulling fuse 13 for a couple of minutes always fixed it. Pulling the fuse no longer fixes the problem. I also tried disconnecting the battery.
I left the cable off overnight and still no luck. I came across a similar problem being fixed by a ACM reprogramming TSB (SYNC (possibly) Fixed by TSB 11-10-22) on a another forum. Do reprogramming working on a dead SYNC system when the hard reset was tried and did not solve the problem? Dealer did not want to reprogram ACM and told me need a new APIM.
Audio doesn't resume upon selecting Radio or Media from the display?
Instead, we have to press the volume **** and then select radio or media, adding a step.
So randomly today, my Edge is constantly rebooting and the ABS and Parking warning lights are on. My brakes feel fine though and the Edge won't stay on for longer than a few seconds before rebooting.
View 1 RepliesSince I've purchased my car starting at 47 miles on it, I'm now under 5,500 miles (I don't drive that much)- We've got a problem... I've been noticing that weird funk smell that everybody back in 2010-2011 were talking about in an old thread here (moldy/mildew/wet smell coming from a/c), but guess what? It's 2015, so it's time for an update on the newest Prius models and see what's going on and what are people doing differently these days and so forth.
I was due for another factory warranty maintenance checkup, so I took my car in 2 days ago for the workup. I've mentioned to the shop guys about the funky smell and the guy told me, "it's a problem that several toyota models ranging from 2014-2015 are having and Toyota can't figure out the problem." Basically, he told me to just deal with it and stop whining over it. It's a new car and I don't know about you, but I've gotten sick from mold exposure before so no, I don't want to experience that again.
At first, I thought my filter was just down right nasty from all the pollen and air pollution, but I was wrong after the Toyota guy took the filters out and showed me how clean they were. (I even sniffed the filters to make sure they didn't stink!) ... The goal is to touch base on this issue today and update what's going on. This is still a problem, it's in the 2015 Prius models obviously.
This happened while I was driving.. Stereo shut down, Nav screen went blank, then immediately rebooted as if I had just turned it ON.
View 12 RepliesSeveral times now since I bought the RCF 3 weeks ago the audio system freezes. It always happens with Enform streaming Pandora, the whole system locks up, touchpad is dead, can't adjust volume, can't use Nav, etc. Only way to fix is to turn off and restart the car.
View 12 RepliesI've been driving this Sonata 2015 Limited and while going very light on the pedal in eco mode it is barely hitting 18 to 20mpg. I find that very odd, and presume something is either calculating wrong or the car has an issue.
