Nope, adjusted all the way up.

I have a 2013 4Runner, and every time I turn on my headlights in the daytime I cannot see anything on my radio face panel. Is there a way to change the settings so the radio does not dim when the headlights are on?

What are the details on the new head unit/radio install, costs, ease of doing? I am looking to upgrade my radio, because I am not really satisfied with the factory unit.

High Five Well, this truck was a Toyota loaner vehicle, so iIguess it is possible that was this way from the factory. The loaner 4Runner the dealer let me use the last two days was a SR5 with a HD radio head unit in it. I have radio envy now. I cannot see why these two radios wouldn't be a...

Well, I got my truck back from the dealer, and it’s fixed. They repaired a pinched wire under the dash that was going to the antenna power amp. I suppose if it were not under warranty still I would have done it myself, which probably would have been quicker, but hey they fixed it for free.

It’s not a dumb question, but yes I removed it and reinstalled it before I took it to the dealer the first time. Since it appears to be a bad antenna connection it was the first thing I thought of doing. I agree it seems weird that this is such a problem for them to troubleshoot this issue.

So, the dealership replaced my radio/head unit, and it made no difference at all in my radio reception. I took it back, and they vow to fix it this time. When I asked about the possibility of it just being an antenna or a connection to the antenna inside the fender they stated they checked...

The Toyota service department says it is the radio. A new one is on order. Does anyone know if differnt stock models will work an SR5? If so, maybe I should have have an upgraded model installed instead.

When living and commuting in a large metro area, having local radio is almost a necessity for traffic and weather updates. Plus, I really enjoy listening to the local sports radio (man drama soap opera). :wink2:

What is entune? I am able to get some really weak FM signals, so I am thinkin it is either the antenna or the wire....

Eddie Yeah, I am leaning toward antenna or antenna connection problem, because I can actually dial in a few local FM stations. I just cannot get them all to receive or be sensed by the radio (as I would on any other vehicle), and the AM stations are not receiving at all. Thanks, Nelson

Hello I am a newbie here. I just purchased a 2013 4Runner with 18k mile on it from a local dealership (it was one of their loaner vehicles). So far I am pleased with it. I traded a 1997 Landcruiser that had over 230K miles on it for this truck. My first question for this truck is, is it...
