Default Amplifier!!!!

Sometimes when I start my car of late, the stereo will not work ( radio, cd, or auxiliary).... Then I’ll start it later and it works!!! Someone told me the amplifier is going bad, so does anyone know what kind it is and where I should get one???

Do you have Mark Levinson? if so the AMP is in the trunk. I can't recall if the Standard Lexus radio also had an amp in the trunk??

Did you search for any DIY threads replacing the OEM amp with aftermarket or just simply replacing?? I bet your not the first one to replace ;-)

Could be, but could also be a loose connector somewhere.

Default Amp....

No I don’t have Levinson but I do have 13 speakers, so there is a amp in the trunk.... So a Levinson amp would still plug into where my old one is???

Yes, even without the Levinson system there is a amp in the trunk. Should be on the right side.
