  • 2008 D4D 6 CD Stacker Stereo Unit Problem

    Hi All

    Just wondering if anyone out there has experienced this problem with their head unit. Generally I have the stereo turned ON even when the car is parked, so the next time I start the car the stereo starts playing. The problem I had over the past couple of days is that the stereo plays however, from the head unit you cannot control any of the units functions (eg. select AM, FM or CD, Seek radio or CD track, turning OFF and ON...everything but volume control) but from the steering wheel controls you can change stations, change to CD, change volume and even turning the head unit off/on. When the head unit has this problem the main screen is blank, no LCD display just a green backlit glow. I've checked fuse, pulled the neg terminal off hoping to reset the head unit however none of this has resolved the problem. Then out of the blue the LCD screen is back to normal and control via the head unit is back again??? :?

    I've got the D4D in for it's 10k service next week and have reported the problem, the problem is that I can't replicate the issue it's pretty random! So just wanting to see if anyone else has experienced this.

    Cheers

    Hey Nick:

    My Missus Had the same problem with Her 1yr old Rav 4
    couldn't replicate the problem either :? Couldnt control volume
    no screen display etc except Rav's have orange/red backlit screen.
    not much help there sorry mate. I'll see if she still has a photo of it on her phone to post up
    its only happened twice since we've had the car though so we left it to Toyota
    it hasn't happened again.........

      Yep - I've had a similar problem over the past few weeks. While operating the radio, the LCD screen suddenly goes haywire displaying constantly changing random shapes and symbols. None of the unit controls will function - including the power button. Steering wheel controls do work however. It's happened three times - unfortunately I've not been able to get to a Toyota dealer at the time to show them the problem. I found that if randomly bang out a "tune" on the various control buttons on the unit, it comes back to life, and operates perfectly! Turning the key off and powering the unit down and on again had no effect. I'm waiting for it to happen again so I can make a bee-line for the dealer!

          Yep we are on our second unit and will be getting our third unit come next service. The wireless part works ok, just the cd side doesnt work properly. Pain in the bum. I can usually get it going again by pulling the two radio fuses. Yes there is two fuses. Three units and the car has only done 21,000kms

            Far out Steve, 3 units... :roll:

            Just had 10K Km service done and mentioned the fault. They could not replicate the issue :roll:, which is always the way! Anyway the problem has been marked on my service history and they will replace the unit should it fail again. Now I just want it to fail so that I can get a new reliable working head unit cause when the problem happens you cannot get your CD's out! :lol:

              what they do, i am led to believe is, fit a service exchange unit. and they will send your discs back to you. The units look brand new though.
              when you do have an exchange unit fitted make sure all your air con buttons and all those other buttons on the dash work. We left the yard and had to drive back to the yard. The apprentice didnt put the plugs backs in so nothing worked. And watching a fitter come out to the yard and start pulling all the plastic bits off is not pretty they are quite rough, i was thinking any minute now these expensive bits of plastic are going to break.
