Hi Guys

had a really strange one today regarding the sound system

the volume button will not work both on the system and the steering wheel.

the mode button is working but only strolling between the radio stations and frequencies ...does not show cd / Aux.

all was working fine yesterday but not now......

any ideas how to resolve?

Hi Bob

You say the volume won't work - do you have sound and you can't alter the volume or is there no sound and no response from the volume control?

Bob

 

There is sound but I cannot alter the volume either via the button or the steering wheel. Thanks for responding.

Try the US forum. They may know more

Other than trying disconnecting the battery, there must be a wiring issue or issue with the mark levison unit. Having had the whole console off several times to install my double din unit, I'm pretty familiar with it. I still have the Mark levison unit, which might be useful to you if it's not a quick fix. 

Thanks I will try the battery disconnect first.

Do you have any after-market device connected into the sound system with it's own function or volume control?

Yes but that is not working as well. I have an iPhone adapter that uses the cd mode but this cannot be found using the mode button....only radio stations are showing.

thanks

So this morning I start the car and everything's working again! Must be a ghost in my car!

This was implemented in the mk3 ls400.

last year there was play in my front suspension arms, this year all is well.

next year I expect brake pipe corrosion to disappear 

its evolution...

I couldn't resist taking the bait of the trolls! Also posted on the isf thread in the jap car section.

Never had my driving described as constructive before 😁

@Rusty Crobar Well the reason for that is you've never been assessed by someone who knows what they are talking about..... now you have 😏

Drive's like a pussy!  MEOOOOOWWWWW!

I had the same issue a few years ago on a 2008 IS-F as well. Hot weather is a factor, but basically the volume would intermittently stop working and then fix itself. But if its the same issue it will eventually completely go, and the fix was to swap the ML unit, which is around £2K (luckily my warranty covered it).
