I just got this rx330 from the previous owner, when Lexus guy was doing inspection they didnt see small problem,

got loose driver side mirror, loose door panel, etc, jIt's like music had been played for 33 sec then suddenly stop. 3 secs later it starts again playing the rest of the song, same when I was using radio, randomly stopped and started the rest, but it happens only once for every trip,

I ve upload a video on youtube,check between 30sec-40sec, anyone can help me?

 

That's a weird one. What could make it stop and go again...will be hard to pin down.

 

From the video it looks like the radio lost power for a second. It loses the audio and the display lighting goes out.

Going from cheap to expensive.

I would pull the radio out of the dash. Takes about 2 minutes. Just cover the shifter so you dont drop the bolts down the console.

Take a look at the connections on the back. See if any are loose. Worst case just unplug one of them one at a time and see if it is tight.

The next thing is how old is the battery? Ive seen a few wild things happen with a battery that was about to go. On my old RX300 the clock would reset to 12:00 everytime you would start it up.

Next thing would be the radio itself. But that expensive to replace. It may be cheaper to fix.

Ask these guys. And see if they have ever seen our problem before.
