  1. Oh god!... I feel your pain! It helps make a better electrical connection (I think) whats happening to yours? Thanks mate.. that’s good to know just in case it ever happens again! Hopefully it won’t 🤞
  2. I went throgh hell with this! same thing, I had to pay lexus to find the problem I had even changed the headunit myself and it made no difference. Turned out to be the ML amplifer... very expensive to replace! I had no idea I had the ML sound system untill I went to replace the amplifer (it was running very hot). long story short, the lads at lexus opened it and sprayed contact spray on it, closed it back up and its been working ever since... touch wood!!! I can see this happening to a lot more cars as they get older.
  3. Hi, I know the issue with your car was a while ago, but was it resolved with the update? Im having a lot of the same problems! Lexus are having a lot of trouble finding the issue, tried the update and even put a different raido in and still the San.
  4. Sent them an email, so hopefully they still have it, woundering if any of the information from the crashed car will pop up when I put it in my car or maybe thats all comes from the main ECU! That's good to know, hopefully that will fix the issue and its not something else! Not pushed about the screen at all. I'll just be happy when I can listen to my Spotify again!
  5. Cheers... I'm thinking now if I do this, will I need to still bring it to Lexus for them to connect it there computer for it to work, because in other cars the electronics are linked to the car with id's. Will I need to get a p nav replacement because it's what I have with the r camera.
  6. There was a time where I would have happily given this a go, but I would be afraid of causing more damage to it... but if my hands are really tied I will. I think the head unit (the brain) is behind the screen?
  7. I knew I wouldn't be that lucky! did it take them long to do? I got a price from my Lexus dealer to replace the radio and it was almost 3000 euro. I have wrote to Lexus about this, not expecting much from them but I said I'd give it a shot. Very bad lifespan for a media system in a Lexus.
  8. Just checked my VIN on the Lexus recall checker and it says "We have identified that your Toyota is subject to a voluntary customer service campaign or outstanding safety recall." So I gave my local dealer a ring to see what it is for because I did not get any more information from the recall checker. they are going to call me back. Its a bit odd as my car was just with them yesterday but they never mentioned anything about a recall?
  9. Thanks for the link It looks like it maybe my only option at this point. Would you say Lexus would fit it or would I have have to take it to someone who fits radios? As it's not a new part
  10. Just been in with Lexus, and they spent an hour on it trying to figure out what the problem is with no avail. As it's no longer in warranty it could prove expensive to fix. The sound came back on today before I had taken it to Lexus but it only sounds normal when I am stopped in traffic but when I drive it brakes up like crazy almost as if it is linked to the speed I am going (I have auto volume turned off) but then I stop and the sound goes back to normal but sometimes I need to move the car an inch forward or so for the sound to go back to normal after stopping. I have to say it's not saying a lot about the quality of the media system if it's packing in after 3 years.
  11. Also, would something like this be coverd under the manufacturers warranty? Tanks all.
  12. Thanks for showing me this, it sound very like my own situation, hopefull I can get this resolved soon.
  13. Cheers 200h, It was one of the first things I tried but no joy. I cant even change the audio settings now because there no sound, very annoying.
  14. Hi all, I have had my IS for around four months now and have been having on and off trouble with the radio regarding the sound cutting out. I had thought it was linked to the active sound so I turned that off in the sound settings, it seemed to have fixed the problem for about 2 or 3 months but it has happend again. It normally lasts for a day or two and then comes back on (the sound) but I would like to get this proplem resolved asap so I booked it in with Lexus. Has anyone on here at the same experience with the IS media system? and if so how did you resolve the issue? Cheers.
