Default Head Unit/Stereo Randomly shuts off

For the past month or so i will be driving down the road and my radio/cd player will shut off and eject every disc i have in it. Its really annoying. Its not when i hit a bump, or take a hard corner its just at random. Has anyone had this happen to them before.

Im wondering if my Beat-Sonic Nav/DVD bypass module is doing something wierd to my head unit and making it trigger something to eject the discs/shut my radio off.

By the way this is happening in my '06 IS250 with Nav

Any help or tips would be of most help

same thing for me on my '07 GS450h. It happened yesterday for the first time and today was the second occurence, but I think it might be caused by hiting a bump in my case.
I have service check scheduled next month so I'll ask them about this as well.

I have an 07 IS350. Every now and then upon cranking I get no display on radio or AC control panels. Solution is to turn off and restart. Anyone else have this? Also have an aftermarket iPod adapter that is very flaky since iOS 7 came out. (can't recall brand - will have to look that up)

All of these problems are typically fuse or voltage related....Some components are more touchy then others but low voltage almost always results in malfunctioning electronics

yes im having this issue right now with my radio..at 1st i thought it was the battery because it drained out,so i got it jumped & took it to the shop and they told me my battery was fine..so then i cleaned the battery terminals because there was some noticeable corrosion, and the radio came on and was fine for a few days..but today it cut back off out of the blue..im lost lol

If you diagnose urself nothing you go to the stealership and they'llflat rate you 200 300 to tsleep the dash off and search for the problem.... If ur running stock audio setup check ur wiring harness.... But unfortunately there's only so much you can check without knowledge of where ur goes and how hard it is toget to
