    No, no problem like that. Sometimes when I go to turn the volume down it's very slow to respond.

    Intresting, mine will switch between HD radio and standard when using FM as the signal strength varies but it does not cut out.
    My 2018 did the same.

    Sirius/XM will cut off when I drive into my garage (garage is on the north side of my 2 story house). FM stations HD1 are solid reception but many HD2 and HD3 stations will cut out because of terrain.

    On another note, I rarely listen to the radio. I have about 7 podcasts I regularly listen to. It is nice to listen to what I want, when I want. I Bluetooth the podcasts from my phone to the head unit and it works great.

    When I use bluetooth for a podcast, the volume is never high enough via my iPhone. When I connect via lightning cable its much louder but it cuts in and out no matter what the media (podcast, youtube or playlist). I'm pretty frustrated and I'm about to take it back and have them look at it cause I'm stumped.

    My 2020 TRD Off Road is in the shop for the fourth time for radio issues (2 months old). Makes a scare the crap out of you noise - like throwing a mic on the floor - followed by the radio cutting out. Radio might immediately come back on or stay silent for the entire trip. May come on after restart, may not. Doesn’t matter what source (did it once while I was on speaker phone). Dealership installed new radio; did the same thing on my first trip.

    My 2020 audio cuts out regularly. At first I thought I was just dropping signal for SXM, but it happens just as often when I'm on Spotify (and my playlist are downloaded for offline use). I have the tech package but not advanced or premium. My buddy has a 2020 premium and his does not cut out.
