jcr71 2 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 hello all i found this forum when googling this morning. my issue is with the radio in my partners car. i think its probably the quietest radio ive ever heard in a vehicle, and ive been around for a few years. its adequate for listening to the radio, but even at full volume i dont have to raise my voice hardly at all to be heard. the car has satnav and a reversing camera. and the software version on the radio is 6.7.0 wl. so my questions are- is the shockingly low volume correct? if yes, and it is not fixable, can i buy a better quality sound system that would just be a simple swap out without any rewiring and would keep the satnav/camera features? thank you jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flash22 669 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 First off check the balance and fader settings 60/40 or 70/30 to the front is ideal as you want the sound stage up front You can also do a speaker test in the hidden menu - diagnostics check - SPTest Hidden menu Press and hold the Car button (Holding the Setup button instead takes you into the full diagnostics check) Turn the headlights on and off 3 times or Press the Vol/Power button, so it displays Audio Off Press the MENU button Touch «Display» Touch «Screen off» Quickly press ">" 5 times and immediately press "<", 5 times turn the ignition off to exit the menu iirc 6.9.0 WL is the latest free update for the nav log in or setup an account on My Toyota - top right, click on My Toyota - My Vehicle then add a car and/or click Register my multimedia Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jcr71 2 Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 just a quick update- had a look at the radio today and managed to find the fader after a bit of head scratching. for some reason it was set to +5 rear. i changed it to +4 front and it made a massive difference to the volume. hopefully it will be loud enough for my partners podcasts now. thank you once again for the help. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
