Be honest , you listened to the xtal radio your dad built.

 

Well, you had FM, but you could only listen to it on the Magnavox Console stereo...

I own a third gen, but my (factory) radio tuner shit the bed during a recent drive. I went from FM to AM to listen to a traffic report, and the AM was muted (no static). Thought maybe the station's feed went dark. When I went back to FM, no go. But the iPod (USB) and XM worked... Turning the radio off then on did not clear the issue. AM and FM came back when I restarted the car. Go figure....

 

I suspect it's due to the XM radio uploading your location history to the CCP.

Ya, but it had a slate top and played vinyl.

I have a general class only.
retired EE after 40 years comm/nav radio design.

 

No, I'm very young and hip. I only listen to the radio because I don't have a CD player in the car anymore!

 

i think i saw you can plug a thumb drive directly in the side of display

 

Somewhere we went off track
but i do appreciate the levity. LOL
I can see my radio issue is not an isolated issue, but i wonder if it is widespread enough to get Toyota's attention.

 

I'm personally hoping it's maybe just a common factory-installation issue and someone more electrically inclined than me can figure out which wires to jiggle.

 

My money is that there is a side condition system or softare bug in design.
like truck is booting before connecting to phone type thing. And truck system has to
be rebooted to correct it.

 

I dont know, i nearly crashed into a tree trying to turn on and tune the FM radio. Its awful.

 

This keeps happening.
I asked grok and it pointed me to toyota nation where there are many 2025
toyota models with this issue. I hope it grows enough to get attention
to fix it.
