Radio Volume Trouble? - Page 2 - TundraTalk.net

bradrob82 · 08-08-2008, 08:27 AM

i also had the problem of the volume not working, no matter how much you spin the knob it would not go up or down, i tried turning it off and on and switching between fm-cd and back and forth, nothing worked. i came back about 2 hrs later and tried it and it still did not work. while in fm1 the radio started to randomly change stations. i called the toyota dealer about this problem and explained it to them, they asked me to come in so they could get a number off of the stereo and then they said they would call me when my replacement stereo is in. i hope it works better than this one i have now. i dont know who made the cd player for my 98 tacoma but it has taken a beating and is still working great.

It seems like the electronics is a hit and miss thing. From what I read Toyota has replaced all units that has a problem.

Same here. No questions asked. Tell them the display on the radio was showing mixed up symbols as well. They should replace it.

ASL , it adjusts the volume higher when your driving and lowers it when you stop . Check your owners manual to see and understand the settings .

rjelliott517 · 08-19-2008, 10:27 PM

I guess thats why i noticed it. I was messing with it and turned it on just before it happened. Thanks for the heads up.
