Driving down the freeway, five minutes from home, stereo blasting, all of a sudden, no sound. It just went away. This is the first time. I couldn't get anything to work, am/fm radio, aux, cd, not even the voice commands. Pulled into my driveway, turned off the car, waited a second, turned it back on, everything is back to normal. Dunno what happened.

 

Do you think maybe the bluetooth took over but the screen didn't change?

 

Probably not. After I can to a stop in my driveway, I did everything I could to restore the sound before shutting off the car. The buttons were sluggish and sometimes unresponsive. It took a couple of presses to scroll from aux to fm to cd/dvd and sometimes the steering wheel buttons didn't respond. I'll check close next time if this happens but my bt phone nothing is unusual about it at this point.

 

That sounds weird, if it happens again I would take it back to the dealership.

 

famous last words?

Seriously, I do hope you resolve this one soon.

 

I actually said that didn't I.

Ironic isn't it. But I was playing a cd at the time everything quit and now that everything is fine, hopefully it won't ever happen again. As far as I can ascertain, the speakers quit for a second.

 

i don't have problem with the stero yet but one time my blooth was telling me that i don't have signal temporary.... right in the middle of 5 and 55 freeway???? weird

 

Sounds like the computer OS froze...Maybe Lexus is running Microsoft.

 

sounds like the CPU was busy doing something, ran out of RAM, and everything just slowed to a crawl.

 

What kind of CD? Commercially pressed or CD-R? MP3 or WMA? If it were a CD-R with WMA, I wouldn't be too surprised about the freezing. Could likely be a decoding overflow or bug.

 

Good point. That might have been it since I had been playing a CD-R using about the cheapest CD available to mankind (you know those free stacks of 100 they giveaway as promos?). At the time I was checking out the difference between sound quality from the same music burned to a CD vs. the Ipod aux.

 

Overheating, maybe?

 

overheat should be a problem as well if it's mircorsoft.

 

So... which one was better?

 

Ok, the real reason why this all happened was from this post https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=193497 after I read it.

Seems I had my nano connected to the aux port straight from the earjack. Even though I have the Belkin charger plugged into the nano dock port. I didn't realize the Belkin charger had a jack built into the charger so you don't have to connect thru the Nano earjack. Once I switched over, my setup sounded a lot better.

Then I wanted to see how close this partucular setup came to putting that same music on a CD and it's at this point, now I can't tell that much of a difference between a straight CD and using the nano connected to the aux port using the dock plug (not the earjack).
