Entertainment Center Acting Up

Bought my 2020 TRD Off Road about a year ago and love it. However, occasionally the entertainment system will spontaneously change the source and I change it back and a few minutes later it will do it again. I tried power cycling it but to no avail. After about 10 minutes it fixes itself. Anybody else seen this?

 

No, I have not.

 

Remove the negative battery terminal for 10mins. It will reset the radio. May or may not work but easiest to try.

 

Welcome. That’s an odd issue. Maybe a head unit replacement is needed?

 

I would try to narrow it down to whether it's a specific source that gets switched from (only from CarPlay/Android Auto > another), or if it doesn't care whether you're listening to. (It'll switch from FM, AM, XM, Bluetooth, USB etc.)

If it's only CarPlay/Android Auto acting up, I'd try things like restarting the phone, switching to a different cable (I'd say this is most likely so I would just start with this), a different phone, etc.

If it doesn't care what source it is, my intelligence-insulting suggestion is to make sure nothing could be dangling and hitting buttons.

I don't remember if there's a source button on the steering wheel, but maybe hitting that (and any button on the headunit) a bunch of times could unstick it if it's potentially stuck inside.
