Well, an update - after discussing this with Lexus Corporate for a few months, and pointing out to them that there is a TSIB on this problem, they finally agreed to replace the amp for free. So hopefully that will fix the problem.

YMMV.

did u know whoever had it had "set" at like 90% volume... scariest **** when ur in the middle of no where
I used to to do this to my friends cars when they would let me borrow them. Crank the stereo up to 90% and then turn the car off. Scared the crap out of them when they got back in and started it.

I turn the sound to almost nothing and when I start the car back up I get WAKE UP from the speakers lol. DK what it is and I dont have ML. I have my set button setup as a mute so I just start the car and hit that as soon as I turn the key lol

Okay... sorry to bring back an "older" thread- but I'm having this problem with my ML system now. My radio or cd will be ON, and there's no sound... Then, like 3-4-5 mins later it comes on, usualy the same volume as it was on prior. But, NOW... it's started to come on FULL VOLUME, overload the ML amp, and not come back on for like 5-10 mins. What's up with these TSB #'s --> AU001-01, AU001-02, and AU001-06 ?

Honestly, it SEEMS that the connection to the ML is being disrupted somehow... like a wire is loose, but I don't know.

Can anybody help me out? What should I do ? How can I access the OEM amp to check and see if something's coming unplugged or not ?

Thanks for the help, fellas!

That's why we used the State-of-the-Art, called the iPod.

Does anyone have info on the part number needed to replace the amp?

The random full volume problem has startled the **** out of me several times now lol. It makes me think twice about using the stereo!

Thanks,
Luke
