Stereo not functioning
Good morning,
I have seen some threads related to this, but thought I'd post this as it isn't quite the same.
2013 RX450h. Audio turns on/off. No volume control at all. I looked at the sound screen and the tone controls are all in the middle and unable to be changed.
So, it sounds like the amp? Anyway to try resetting this before I buy a new one? Does it have to be the battery cable or is there a fuse I can pull?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

If it has power then fuse is not the issue. I would try disconnecting battery and hope for a reset, but it could be either. Look in owners manual to find correct fuse. Fuse boxes are under dash by drivers left knee and in engine compartment. Key to fuses is always indicated inside cover.
You probably need professional diagnosis. Are you still under the warranty?

Where that fuse might be... I have no idea. Aftermarket amps often have fuses attached to them, but I doubt that's the case, here.

Do you have navigation? If so, you should have that GIANT, separate manual pertaining to nav and navigation = stereo in these cars.

Try pressing the overhead "SOS" button. It is a subscription service you probably are
not paying for. When it is activated it takes over the microphone and speakers. It is
possible that it is now somehow interfering with your stereo. Press the button and you
should here the voice in the car say either "you have no service, for subscription information
press the button again" or you will get a live operator. Either way it may clear the system.
