Audio System Problems

[Nirmalya]

I'm having intermittent problems with my 2008 Prius audio system. The audio system works mostly fine during winter (it's an observation) but during summer, there are days it won't turn on. The 'Audio' screen simple shows 'Audio Off' and none of the buttons on the system work. Then the next day or few days later, it just comes on and everything seems fine. For e.g., today morning it was working fine, it was OK in the afternoon as well but in the evening, it won't turn on. Am not sure how will it behave tomorrow morning. This is quite irritating, especially when I'm on a long drive as I don't have access to radio news (traffic information is important to me) and music (i need that on a long drive). Need sound advice on what could be the problem and what needs to be done towards resolution.

Thanks & Regards,

I occassionaly have the same issue.

Mine is a JBL system.

I just control it via the steering wheel buttons.

I think it may be a bad connection on the back of the head unit that is affected by heat.

I am just living with it, but if you have any warranty I would suggest having a word with the dealer.
