yaris hybrid radio issues

[Johnvj]

My hybrid has radio issues in that if I use a satnav. or car camera, the radio loses digital stations or wipes them out. The aerial was replaced but not the radio. Is there anyone else have this type of problem and if so, how was it cured ? I could go back to an analogue radio for now. I heard that the radio is cheap and nasty and that the electro magnetic immunity is also questionable.

Hello John - welcome to Toyota Owners Club.

How are you connecting the sat nav and car camera?

Interesting. I have an issue whereby the AC page gets stuck ON after adjusting the AC fan or temperature, and won't blank automatically (screen is otherwise "auto off" after changing station or volume).

It doesn't always occur, but if it does, it is shortly after the car is switched on. It's fine afterwards (if it gets stuck, selecting another page unsticks it).

It seems to be related to it starting up - the whole unit is a bit slow for about a minute or so after power-on, then it's fine.

Do they update the software when it goes for service?

No updates can only be applied in response to a customer complaint.
