    Ok so today I started to have issues with my radio just shutting off, shutting off and spitting out a CD at the same time. Last week my radio station changed on me, thought I hit some, but now thinking that I did not.

    So question is how many have had your radio replaced and still having issues?

    Edit: Should have said this was a question for 09+ Tacoma. Its seems '09 and maybe '10 models are the ones having this issue.

    No problem convincing the Dealer that I have a radio problem. They cheerfully agreed to warranty the radio for me. However, it has now been on back-order for about 9 weeks. :(

    This reminds me, I need to call and find out when it's going to get done.

    I don't know what my dealer may say or will be like. Going to have to wait and see if(when) it happens again. Don't want to go and wait forever get it fixed and find out they did not solve the HU issue! Kinda why I'm askin this..

    And I really don't what to spend the $ right now for an after market HU. And with winter around the corner all mods are on hold. Oh well wait and see.

    Ya my has been replaced once and the new one is doing the same thing. I took it back to the dealer and they said they are on back order and would be two months before I get a new one. The radio cuts off when I hit a bump.

    I found a good rap on the top part of the radio unit gets everything working again. After hearing stories of the replacemnent unit shutting off on the way home from being replaced I figured I'd wait until they actually fixed it before getting mine replaced.

    Until then I just use my knuckles.

    My first radio didnt pick up any radio reception. Thought it was going to be a simple fix but they had to order a whole new radio and swap out the old one!!:eek: No issues with this one so far.:cool:
