Great job Gary. I received my call back from Malika, the Toyota contact that I got the case number from, and she said that her investigation shows that the radio works as designed. I agreed with her that it does work as designed but it was designed wrong and needs to be fixed. She said Toyota...

Wow, I haven't heard back from Toyota yet so I will be calling them and I will let you know the outcome. Charlie

Gary, it sounds like this is the decision of the service man. Have you heard from the Toyota contact that you called. I haven't heard back from mine. That will probably be the official decision and that may be important for the lemon law. I'll let you know when I get a call from my Toyota...

Donabed, thanks. Do you have the 100150 Premium radio? Thanks Charlie

Good info Jolly and thanks. Ya it may be a long battle but they may also get on it. Hopefully they will get it resolved with just a software upgrade but it still leaves me wondering why more haven't complained especially if the Camry's are also having the problem. The book keeps getting longer...

It looks to me that the 100149 radio does not have GPS so I'm confused by the other Corolla owner I talked to today. I wonder if the lady was confused and was thinking about the radio fading when she was on the Bluetooth phone? I never received a phone call on my wifes car so I am not sure if...

I got the call from toyota. My contact is Malika and after explaining the problem she gave me a case number 1506253035. She said that she is in an office with tech people and engineers and is going to find out what the problem is. I also told her that the vioce interupt option is there but it...

I received the reply from the Toyota e-mail and they acknowledged that they now have my phone number that I sent them yesterday and will call me today. Charlie

Hi Segino, I also found that setting and it does work if the radio is low but if the radio is at what I call a more normal level, at least for me, then the problem arises. Even My Ford Fiesta completly shuts off the radio or whatever media I am listening to when the GPS comes on making it...

Hi Guys. Great job Gary, I'll call tomorrow after they call me regauarding my previous e-mail to them. Here is the e-mail and their answer. I'll see what they have to say as I did send them my phone number. Lets keep up the pressure to get this finished. I am surprised that Toyota has to...

Hi Gary. I also found the "voice prompt interrupt" and turned it on but that didn't fix the problem. Maybe that should do it but the software doesn't support it yet. If so it seems like an easy fix for Toyota. It doesn't look like the software update that Toyota is going to do for you will fix...

Gary, did you se this. Not sure if it applies to us or not. http://www.corollaforum.com/threads/new-update-firmware-is-out.3984/ Charlie

Hi Gary. I have exactly the same model number as you do 100150. California requires 2 complaints that don't fix the problem for safety reasons but 4 complaints for anything else. I found the Toyota contact web site and you can phone, e-mail or snail mail. I e-mailed the site and am waiting for...

Thanks Crownarch. My dealer told me that an update wont fix it so I am excited to see how yours turns out. My dealer also tested two Corolla's on their lot, a 2014 and a 2015 and both had the problem. I'm in California so I looked up the lemon law and it says I have to take it to the dealer 4...

Hi all, I just found this great forum and am looking for a little advice. I own a 2014 Corolla S Plus. It has the radio system with blue tooth and GPS. The problem is that while I am listening to the radio and the GPS comes on giving directions, the radio does not fade so the radio and the GPS...
