Default Audio not working

Im driving 2010 gs350, i can not get the radio/cd anything to come on. The navigation still works, the voice command button on steering wheel does not beep when you hold it. I checked the volume settings on the setup screen. I checked all audio fuses under the hood and under the steering wheel. If any of you have suggestions please let me know.

Take it to your nearest dealer. It will be covered by the factory warranty. Let them take care of it, to your satisfaction.

i had a similiar problem where i couldnt do anything with my volume. everything else worked. i called my buddy who use to work for bmw and benz just to get his take on it and he told me to turn my steering wheel all the way to the left and leave it that way for about 15 mins. i did so, came out and started the car and the volume started to work again. weird but it worked. he told me he use to see it once and a while and the problem typically was something in the steering wheel for the volume button. sometimes the pin would get stuck and by turning the wheel all the way, it frees the pin. i dunno, seems weird but it worked.

i agree though, you can just take it to the dealer and they will fix it for free.

under warranty. i also agree take it back. but if this is a common issue with the ml then i dont really see much of a point in getting it. what happens when it blows and your out of warranty? seems like a pita. either way lexus should get you back to jamming. so i need not wish you luck, your covered.lol

Do you have an iPod integration from VaisTech by any chance? I had a problem recently where no sounds whatsoever (stereo, Bluetooth, button beeps, etc.) would be heard in the car. The issue was with a faulty Y-harness that came with the SL2i iPod integration kit.
