audio

Gotta love a 20 year old rig! Yesterday, I brought my rig home from my independent mechanic who had just repaired my failing ABS system. He also replaced the Hi-Lo shifter that I'd removed to unfreeze. Two my surprise, I found that my audio system was not getting power. All non-audio buttons...

Hey y'all, I just picked up a 2001 LX470 and am having some issues with the audio system. It currently seems like only the tweeters are playing as whatever comes out of them sounds quiet and tinny. HAs anyone had similar issues, and if so what turned out to be the solution? Would it be the amp...

this radio has not been working for several years, it just says "audio off". because the climate controls are incorporated into the nav screen, and they continue to work, we have been using bluetooth boom boxes. but it is VEXING.... it the issue in the head unit, or in the amp? i am having the...

as the title suggests, id like to try to replace/upgrade the factory amp located behind the front passenger glovebox in my 80, rather than bypass it with a new head unit. (i just really like the look of the old school 90's head unit and don't want to change it- also i like the two little...

I have a system-wide loss of audio in my 2011 LX, and it has been traced to the failure of the RSES DVD monitor in the roof. The head unit self-diagnostic is what points to this, showing "NCON" for the RSES. Apparently all the audio runs through this. The head unit powers on correctly, and all...

I bought this last year when I though mine was broken. Turns out I blew a fuse. One scratch on temperature status area. Price: $450 + Shipping

Hello to everyone taking the time to read this thread. I am having issues with my head unit volume rotary knob, amp is dying(intermittently powers woofer), and all speakers make this god awful rattling racket. I do believe the factory equipment is beyond saving and is due for replacement. The...

Good morning Mudders, I wanted to upgrade my stereo deck. I had a CD deck the previous owner had installed but it was neon blue, too bright, didn't fit in, and I don't own CDs. I found this on amazon: Got it in the other day and got it installed. The amber back-light matches my dash lighting...

So, I got tired of sketchy XM reception while driving around in wide-open spaces and decided to replace the antenna. The conversation about "why Satellite versus cellular/XM app?" has already been had and there are pros and cons for each that don't need to be re-hashed here. My challenge parsing...

Hello all! After my three-day battle with my sound upgrade, I figured some of you might appreciate some of the information I've discovered. First off, this was attempted on a 2006 LX470 with Navigation and Mark Levinson audio. I researched this extensively before I dug in, but as it turns...

DIY Factory Nakamichi Head Unit 3.5mm Aux Install '98-02 (I think this is the same unit through 2002 but could be wrong). I really enjoy the factory look of my head unit in my '99 LX470 but have been frustrated by the low sound quality of my $2 FM radio adapter. I decided to figure out a way to...

Hello all, I'm preparing to start overhauling the sound system in my 96' LX 450 but I've run into a snag. The speakers I have are a pair of JBL GX528's and a pair of JBL GX628's. The smaller ones, the GX528's have an RMS rating of 45 watts and a peak of 135 watts. The larger ones, the GX625's...

Hey everyone, I searched and yes, I found a ton of articles. The problem is, im an idiot and still don't know exactly what to do. Ive attempted to do probably the simplest install and can't even seem to get that right. sigh. Installing a pioneer double din unit. The guys at Best Buy tossed me...

Hi all, thanks to those that helped answer questions when I was looking. I pulled the trigger on this beauty: 2006 LX 470 with ~126k miles. Living in Boston, it's going to be my winter daily driver (bike commute in the summer) and number one vehicle for camping and ski trips (with two ~70 pound...

Hi fellow mudders, So it all started when I saw THIS THREAD... I was all excited and started researching the possibilities and options. I originally wanted to install the smaller headunit where you replace only the MFD and includes "transplanting" some logic board. I dropped the idea when I...

This is from a 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser. All parts work with no issues. Have everything from navigation screen, to cassette player to factory amp , to six disc changer to navigation computer to the climate control board (climate control ecu), backup camera ecu. All prices negotiable. ++...

Crutchfield sent me the attached MasterSheet for the removal of all of my OEM dash & door speakers and the main stereo head unit. Please note that the CD changer and center console speaker are not covered in the attached.

Just installed JBL GX600c components in front and 5 1/4 2 ways in the rear. They worked for 24 hours sounding great. I woke up this morning finding that my front channels are unresponsive like there is no power going to them. The rears and subwoofer are sounding great still. I am sure it isnt...

So this morning I went out, started my vehicle, and my front speakers are not working. I checked the fuse under the hood, and pulled the head unit in the dash to check all connections on the back of the unit. The connections and fuses are all fine. Anybody have an idea of where I should go from...

No audio coming from any speaker on any audio mode. I checked the AMP fuse under the hood and each 10a fuse on drivers and passengers side that relate to the audio system. Disconnected the battery for 20 min and reconnected. Still no audio. Any idea where to look next?
