My screen on my 2014 IS 350 Fsport is jsut cycling through the lexus start up. Ive disconnected the battery for awhile thinking this might help and taken the NAV sd card out ect and nothing has worked. I just put the 2021 SD card in then boom it happned like a day later. Wont run wiht nay car or no card. Same screen over and over and no music. Help?

 

This is the 3rd or 4th thread this week with the same issue. It comes up relatively often for the 2014s. Solution is a new headhunit. Suggest buying used and the model # you want to find is in fine yellow print on the front of your headunit.

 

Where can I buy used online? If its out of an 18 ro 19 will carplay work?

 

IS carplay was introduced in 2021 so no, it won't work.

Side note, this thread needs to be stickied somewhere on the main page on 2014 radios boot loop / failure

 

MAN, I have the exact same issue. Vol ****, buttons, don't work on my 2014 IS. I took it to the dealership and they quoted me $1750 for the radio unit itself, thats before tax and labor, so really like $2k...my fuse wasn't bad either...like it'll say Lexus Enform and keep cycling over and over. No sound, no bluetooth connection, nothing! And prior to that, my radio wasn't working. Just BT and AUX. It sucks!!! Yesterday it said it was rebooting then worked for like 5 mins, then got gas and it stopped working again UGH

 

I think whoever with a 2014 IS with radio failure need to get together and file a class action lawsuit

 

So whats the most reliable aftermarket fix for this? Im not paying 2k for an oem unit

 

Would getting the BeatSonic unit work if you guys are having this issue? I had mine replaced 2x under warranty luckily but you never know when it could go out again

 

I am wondering if using conventional oil vs synthetic can be a factor in the thumping idle noise? Lexus near me had free oil changes for HC workers so I took advantage of that 2x. Wondering if they used conventional instead.

 

The radio issue is a radio issue...no aftermarket device is going to help it...the issue is internal.

If you had the oil change done at the dealer and they used 0W20, then it's going to be synthetic oil. If they used something else then it's the wrong oil. Assuming they gave you a receipt it should indicate what parts they booked out...I.e. Oil and filter.
