    I stored my Toyota for over a year and my radio doesn’t work It won’t let me update. The radio goes to the navigation screen and it turns on and off continuously. Any way to save it?

    All stock, baby!
    It’s possible/likely that a resistive connection in the power delivery is causing the flakiness. I’d suggest checking the easy stuff first, like the fuse, followed by the connectors for the radio. Since it was stored, rodent damage may be to blame, look under the hood around the fuse/relay block.

    The radio itself may have bit the dust as well, but that seems less likely from just sitting.

    Just giving you a heads up, but you may want to change the title of this thread to something more appropriate like "Radio Navigation Issue" etc. In general it's frowned upon on this forum (and might even be stated in the member rules) to use the word "help" in a title unless it's for an actual emergency, stuck/stranded somewhere, etc.

    Thanks for responding back. I checked all that. I checked all connections and I know people that had the same problem used a flash drive for updates. I pulled the battery cables when in storage and it looks like it lost the capability to up date.
