2nd Time, '11 Taco AC Radio Tuner Has Died

Went to the dealer for my 10K oil change. On the way there, i was listening to the radio, and finding nothing to my liking, turned the radio off. After the oil change & complimentary wash, I headed home. Once on my way, I turn the radio on, only to find it was picking up only one of my presets on the FM1, FM2, and AM bands. Once tuned to that preset, I can press SCAN, and the dial scrolls though all the frequencies, not even stopping on the one preset that was working.

I would have turned around and went back to the Toyota West in Statesville, but I did not have 30 mins to spare for them to check it out once I returned, I called when I got home, and the service dept told me to bring it back for a look-see.

I had the tuner replaced for the same problem in '11, and posted about it on here. I tried searching for that post, so I could include the link, but had no luck with Search.

Now I have to waste part of Saturday to go back and have them look at the problem, again. That was the whole point of getting the oil changed today,

 

you mean this one?

 

Thanks, Dan. I was searching for threads I created, but came up empty 3 times.

The CD does work, as with the original audio unit.

Anyone else have the stock unit die repeatedly?

 

^At the top under "search" the second to bottom link is "threads started by me"

 

Perhaps I should ask if this 2nd bad unit qualifies me for a free JBL upgrade.....

 

I fixed the problem...make that oversight. When the they ran my truck through the wash, they forgot to put the radio antenna back on.

When I left the dealer yesterday, I heard a metal "clink". I didn't have anything metal rolling around in the cab or bed, and I didn't hear it again, so I didn't get concerned about it. When the radio didn't work, I looked out the window at where the antenna should've been, then thought "maybe I am thinking about my previous trucks' antennae (do I get extra points for knowing the plural of antenna?).

This morning, I took a look, and saw the antenna missing. A quick check of the cab found the antenna stuck between the passenger seat and the center console. I screwed it back in, and am ready to rock.

Now, if only commercial radio played something worth listening to....
