Default Lexus LS600hL volume stopped working an radio continually beeps

It just happened out of nowhere on my way home from work yesterday. 30 minute drive of this beeping was driving me crazy. I tried turning the car on and off a few times and it still does the same thing.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Several members have reported having their amps repaired by: http://www.unitedradio.com/

Seems like the cost was in the $350 range including return shipping.

I'm assuming your under warranty. If so, scroll into Lexus and this will be fixed under your factory warranty. You won't have you car for 2 to 3 days either if the amp is not in.

Now I had a similar problem recently ... No beeping, but the volume stopped working from the head unit all of a sudden, but minutes later it worked again. It still worked from the steering wheel though. It's done this twice this week.
