Default Clock and hazard button

Weird question
after replacing my DVD changer w the beatsonix kit and meticulously plugging what was leftover back in, I have no clock and the hazard button doesn't work
Everything else works flawlessly
Any clue of a wire and or fuse that controls this?

or if anyone can confirm this is the power to that portion of the factory head unit. (this plug is plugged in which is why this is so confusing)

I have the Beatsonic kit in my 09 ISF. It's been several years and I don't remember each and every plug, but I think you missed something.

After reading through multiple threads on the 2is pages,
I believe someone had mentioned that there was 2 plugs with the identical sizes and they possibly were switched
I haven't had a chance to take back apart the radio area yet but will confirm hopefully this weekend.
If this is true, I will post confirmation for any future questions someone might have with the same problem.
Def weird that toyota would have done this w the same size plugs in the same general area though.
Oh well, after the last 3 years nothing surprises me anymore.

How's the Beatsonix kit treating you?

The kit itself is fine for the most part. A little cheap feeling and looking for the price you pay for it. I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 at best, but unfortunately its really the only option out there.
Literally, basically, bypassed the whole stock set up with after market amp wiring and radio. All I really needed was the trim pieces on the side and the optional yet obtainable steering wheel control module that you could buy separate.
They could be made a hair thicker and have a better finish. I may end up pulling them at some point to paint to match trim or at least a flat black paint vs matte black plastic they currently are.

Still haven't had time to pull everything back out and check that one plug and see if its swapped with the wrong one. (toyota/lexus issue maybe not beatsonix yet..)(still seems crazy to think they used 2 plugs exactly the same size in the same location.) Time will tell...hopefully this weekend. Who knows with a toddler and weather and life.

I will say after working in car audio for almost a decade and completely gutting multiple vehicles of my own (including a sc300 and gx470) this is the first car I've had issues with. Not just wiring or converting factory to aftermarket.
I also have a weird popping feedback noise when shutting the car off. You can pause a song on usb and turn volume completely up and push buttons all over the dash and or window switches etc...no feedback or noise whatsoever.
Push play and crank it up without any kind of noticeable engine whine or other noise apparent. You can turn the radio off or leave it on. Turn it up or turn it down to 0 with it on and no matter you still get this weird popping feedback noise when turning off the car. (usually the same volume of feedback for that split second, sometimes louder or softer but not in sync with any radio volume upon turning off)

Finally confirmed this weekend after having time to re-pull radio. There was in fact exact same size plugs. Switched them out and all is well now.

Hey man, having the same issue but can’t solve it. Did you have 2 plugs that fit into the same size slot? I only have one, similar to this video near the end
. He says that the bottom slot should be empty and i’m assuming the right slot is the power for the clock/hazard display. If i plug it into the right slot I get no clock display and the hazards don’t work. To clarify, I only have 1 plug available that fits into the bottom slot or the side slot, my blinkers work fine as well.




Thanks.

There are 2 white plugs exactly the same size
one fits in the side bottom area and one is supposed to go further up behind the unit area best I can remember
You should have both.
It looks like I can even see it in the 1st picture dangling in the back ground
try that one where you have the other and or reverse them to the other area.
If it worked before it should work again unless you blew a fuse of some sort.

Weird, only have one plug. That plug in the back doesn’t fit anywhere but I’ll take a look again to make sure, it is for sure too wide for the side plug. Was also stumped on why there was just an extra plug yesterday lol. Bought this car used private party and it came like this.

Maybe Lobux or someone can chime in with a schematic of some sort
If you need a dvd changer for whatever reason I can sell you mine.
