    Hello, so I have a 2014 4runner. I know there are some issues with the 5th Gen Radio system. A couple of days ago my Bluetooth and Nav. will no longer work. Any solutions of how I can fix this myself.??

    I don't have a solution but i've had a lot of problems with mine too. I wasn't sure if it was my phone causing the problem or the radio but damn it it's annoying. I will be in the middle of a phone conversation and it will randomly kick the call off the bluetooth and to my phone without warning. Mine hasn't been so bad as to not work at all - just doesn't want to stay connected to my phone. Did yours eventually start working?

    Have you taken it to a dealer? Under warranty at all? Now I'm worried what I can expect in the future. haha. Mine is a 16 so hopefully it will hold out for a while!

    Are yall still under warranty? If so, I'd get it on record with the dealer. I'm lucky and haven't had the issues on my T4Rs but, it's not something unique to your vehicles (or T4Rs). I've seen even the used head units can be $1,000 if you want to stay with OEM. Spoke recently to a buddy at a Toyota dealership and new, with them doing the work, runs well into the 1,000s.
