Another Electronics Issue - This Time My Navigation Screen Goes Blank - Totally Gone & Eventually Returns. This Happened Twice This Saturday.

[springer]

All Right - these electronics issues are starting to get me a little irritated with my new, loaded-up Land Cruiser with the Premium Package, Leather, 20" Wheels etc. It currently has about 1,400 miles.

First I had the stereo issue - which I still have which I reported here in this sub forum a couple weeks ago. The sound - whether playing, Sirius,/XM , FM or AM just quits. No sound at all. I brought the LC to the dealer to look at and was told that, according to my dealer, Toyota is aware of this issue. It has yet to be resolved or repaired and I am still waiting to hear back from the dealer in Lewisville, Texas.

The latest bit of aggravation for me with the electronics happened Saturday when my navigation screen just disappeared from the screen. I couldn't get it to come back on until later, after I had parked the LC for about an hour and, after starting it up, the navigation screen was back.

Then, while driving home, it happened again. This time the screen started to disappear from the top on down until it was fully gone except for a small arrow in the middle of the screen. After about a minute, this arrow disappeared also. Then about 10 minutes later, while still driving home, the screen popped back on and remained on until arriving home. Go figure!!!!

On Monday, I'll be taking it in to the Toyota dealership again.

Randomly, mine goes blank when I start it up. I just have to tap the screen to undo it. It does not do it every time. Glad I don't have the issue you have. I think I remember that being an issue on the Tacoma 4G site but I can't quite remember. They do share a lot of the same features.

Thanks for the info Nick.

My navigation screen goes out while driving - and at no particular time - both times it occurred after I was driving for approximately 30 minutes. It is annoying, very annoying. Especially with the other issue that I wrote about in my first post.

Sounds like you have a faulty unit. I hope they replace the computer for you

Volume on mine was unable to be changed, in other words the knob and steering wheel doohickey would not work. Recranked several times with no success. Got it home,turned off, then restarted and it worked. SMH. For LC money the damn radio should work!

Next time it happens try pressing the volume knob in for ten seconds the release it. This should restart the infotainment system.

I had it happen one time. I was able to turn the radio off and then back on with everything back to normal. The last two vehicles I have owned, 22 Silverado and 23 Tahoe, both had this issue but would actually shut completely down without warning and decided to work when they felt like it. I think it is just too much tech for a vehicle's own good.

While the car was running, I tried shutting off the radio and it didn't change a thing. I also pulled over, shut the car off, opened the door, closed the door, and started the car and that didn't work either.

Bottom line - something is not working properly. It needs to be replaced or properly repaired.

This is what I did. I’ve only had this happen to me one time. I powered it down and powered it back up on the volume knob no problems. If it makes anyone else feel better my 2019 Land Cruiser did this three times long spans in between I never had any problems with the unit in general nothing ever happened just some weird quirk.
