Camry 2012+ :: Satellite Radio Reception - Lose Signal All The Time
I bought, new, a 2012 Camry back in 2012. I got the satellite radio option. The reception with satellite is horrible. On the clearest of days, I lose signal all the time making it useless trying to listen to it.
Yes, I understand vegetation can hinder reception. But, it shouldn't to this extent. Not long after I bought the Camry, I purchased a 2010 Ford Fusion. It, too, had satellite radio.
I think, in the 2 years I had the Fusion, I lost signal 2 times. On the cloudiest, foggiest, snowiest, and raniest of days, the Fusion never lost sat signal.
I had the dealer check out the system and they found nothing wrong. I've let my subscription to Sirius expire since I can't even get a decent signal. Is this typical of the satellite radio with Camry's???
Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Radio Switches To FM Reception But Read Out On Screen Says AM
I'm experiencing issues with the radio when I change from AM to FM. If on AM mode and I go to audio button or on Steering Switches and push FM, it switches to FM reception (get the radio station on FM) however read out on the screen still says AM and all the presets are in AM mode.
On the reverse from FM to AM same occurs.
Is this a software issue?
Passat (B6) :: Radio Volume Fade Up And Down
My radio in the B6 seems to be acting strange...... I'll have the volume at a set level and it will fade up and down, like the volume is being ever so slightly raised and lowered. I thought at first it was some sort of speed-volume control but it fades up and down for no apparent reason. I have the in dash 6-cd changer with the XM built in.

Have a 2010 Camry SE. Camry was broadsided in an accident and ever since radio has not worked properly. Radio was replaced by Toyota dealer with a new one but still same problem.

Non existent reception when going under underpasses, drive through windows, or near power lines.
View 9 RepliesLexus GS 2006-11 :: FM Radio Reception - Some Stations Would Go In And Out Of Static
I just purchased a 2009 gs 350 a few months ago with 40k on it fully certified. I quickly noticed that most of the fm radio stations were static even local ones that I usually listen to all the time. Some stations would go in and out of static but too annoying for me to deal with. Ive tried turning random things on and off to see if it changes the reception but nothing works or makes it worse.
At first I thought I'd just deal with it, but then I realized how much radio I actually listen to. So I brought it to the local lexus dealer a few weeks ago to see if they could fix it. They replaced the head unit once with no success, so they ordered another one and replaced the original with it. They had the car for two weeks and when I picked the car up they said that all the stations come in except a couple.. Turns out it seems to be exactly the same as it was before, maybe slightly better. I want this fixed completely with no static at all especially since the car is certified and most things are covered.
I think it could only be one of three things the head unit, the rear windshield (where the fm antenna is located) or the wiring in between the two. Since they already replaced the head unit twice I think its safe to say its not the head unit even though they said they tested it somehow and that's what the problem was......
Toyota - Sienna :: 2006 - Radio Speakers Would Fade Out After Driving For A While
I have a problem and I'm not sure to start. I bought a 2006 Toyota Sienna two weeks ago the only known problem was the radio speakers would fade out after driving it for a while. I swapped it out for another radio and it didn’t make a difference now both sliding doors are also giving me a problem. At first the manual driver’s side door occasionally would not let us out using the interior handle almost as if the child safety lock is on and the exterior seems to require abnormal amount of force to open the handle. Now, this week the power passenger side sliding door started giving me a problem, the door was stuck in the open position and when we went to close it, would only move half an inch so we push it manually. Ever since then the buttons and Fob's only make the noise then are unable to move it any further either open or closing unless I use the handle and now since yesterday the interior handle on the power door is working intermittently as well. I spoke to the previous owner and he said the rear doors were not having an issue that he knew of I’m wondering if the radio and doors could share something in common that could explain both.
View 4 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) :: FM Radio Frequently Loses Reception After 12V Battery Changed
Recently, we had to change the 12V auxiliary battery on our 2010 Prius IV. Everything went smoothly and the entire procedure took less than 20 minutes. We thought everything was good, until we turned on the radio.
Since we changed the 12V battery, the FM radio (which is part of the NAV console) has great difficulty keeping any station tuned. Before changing the 12V battery, we could drive around and listen to our favorite FM radio stations; now, the radio frequently loses reception, and our music frequently gets interrupted with static.
It's been a couple months, and the situation has not improved. We took a look at the antenna, and nothing looks out of the ordinary. It seem odd that changing a 12V aux battery would cause this problem, but we have not made any other changes (not even an oil change) for several months.
Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: No AM Reception After Installation Of Aftermarket Radio
So I just installed my Pioneer 4400BH - Took several hours and all went well - EXCEPT - no AM reception after I installed the radio. FM seems fine.
Two possible guesses:
1. Did not push the antenna connector in far enough.
2. Gen 3's use an antenna amplifier. I did not think that Gen IIs used on so I did not connect the Power antenna lead to anything.
Volvo - Xc90 :: Electronics And Navigation - How To Boost Weak Radio Reception
Does the XC90 have a very weak radio reception? Some of the FM stations that were normally very strong in my other cars were weak at the XC90, and some of the AM stations that were normally okay got no signal at all at the XC90. Is there anything I can do to boose the radio reception?
View 19 RepliesAvalon 2005-12 :: Radio Reception Lost On Random Cold Days
I have an '05 Camry XLE with the in-dash touch-screen AM/FM CD Nav system. On random cold days I seem to lose my radio reception. When I turn on the radio I receive a lot of static with break-through talking or music. I've tried to change stations using the touch panel, the steering control as well as the manual tuning dial and I still got static.
I've driven to work ~40 minutes and most of them were filled with static and some break-through talking (not of the station I was tuned into though). The last couple of minutes of my drive I did get a station that said it was 98.3 but I was tuned into 95.5. No matter which station I dialed in I still received the 98.3 station.
It seems like the antenna or something in the radio was stuck or frozen. I drove the entire time with the heat blaring on feet/defrost and rear defroster on thinking it might warm something up but that didn't work.
Accent LC (2000-05) :: Brakes Suffer From Severe Fade
I've noticed that from any higher speeds (over 100kmh) if the brakes are hit hard, they will suffer from severe fade and are useless until they cool for quite a while. Second, I don't know if it is simply my accent, but I just had the front pads done last year (they only have maybe 10 000km on them) and the brake pedal has probably 3/4"-1" of travel before any real stopping power kicks in. My parents just bought an 09 accent and the braking performance is just soo much better! I want to know if there is any way to bring my 02 accent on part with that of newer models. Do the calipers/rotors/etc from an 06+ model year will fit the 02?
I really have a sponge of a brake pedal and really want something done about it and I will go as far as it takes to get better performance out of my brakes.

View 1 RepliesAccent RB (2012+) :: Radio Aux Input Not Working
When using any accessories plugged into the Aux port, either with the original iPod cable, aux jack or my bluetooth receiver plugged into the aux jack the audio comes out very staticky and even cuts in and out. The weird part is that it intensifies when I accelerate and usually at the top end of the RPM range before a gear shift. When I am really pushing the car during a merge or passing the audio eventually just gives out. When I am in a more constant RPM the audio just crackles. I have checked my fuses and dont seem to see any issues.
View 3 RepliesAccent RB (2012+) :: Turn Off Car To ACC Mode For Radio
I have a question around how turn my 2014 Hyundai Accent off to ACC mode?
Starting the car into ACC mode is OK.
Press the start/stop button without the foot on the pedal and it goes into ACC mode and the radio turns on.
Turning off the car into ACC mode. How does one do this?
Scenario - I am connected to Bluetooth on a phone call. I park the car and want to turn it off but keep the call going. Currently it turns it all off!
On my 2016 Hyundai Tucson - I have manage to figure out that if I put the car in P and press and hold the lever on the gearshift and press the start/stop button then it goes into ACC mode.
On my 2014 Hyundai Accent - There is no lever on the gearshift to do this.
If I turn car off in N - Neutral, it goes into ACC mode BUT it BEEPS continuously.
