| Description of the problem | When i had my car in park my stereo stopped working. No radio, no satellite, no nothing other than back up camera. When i start the car i get a blue picture of the stereo and a status bar loading like on computers when a program is loading. I took the car to the toyota dealer and he explained that the replacement would cost 2,500 dollars to replace and he explained there was no means to fix it. I went to another mechanic and he told me the same thing. I have had the car for only 1 year and 6 months with 45000 miles and it just suddenly stopped working. I believe there is a defect in these radios that cause this endless loop to occur. Many others have experienced similar problems with the same model of car as well. |
