So it started with it froze one morning, I turned it off and it came back on showing the Toyota symbol and was stuck I turned it off a few more times, and the reboot screen came up and it loads to the end and froze, now it does the same thing except it only loads a quarter of the way and goes back it does this three time and stays black for a minute or so. I have had my back up camera since this happened and still do so I don't think the radio is fried, it's going to Toyota Tuesday and there going to do an update I hope the update works or maybe they can flash the radio and do it ldk this is an amazing car I love it except for this issue right now if anyone has had this please tell me will it work again it's out of warranty so
Radio froze now only have back up camera

it seems I'm not the only one as of recent. I was just on another thread. according to the service rep who checked me in here in Toyota Hackensack, nj, he said to me it is likely just a firmware update that only the dealer can do. doesn't make sense to me since I'm in a 2014 corolla and I heard all the dealer issued updates were handled then. so I'm thinking they are gonna hit me with replace the whole unit of course way past the milage and literally just a week after my 3 yr mark(not that it mattered cause of my mileage) ive heard under warranty this issued is covered. ive been trying to find a way to do this solo but the reason its a dealer mandated update is because (according to them) you need a Toyota sim card(which I'm assuming only the dealer has) sucks man ill keep both threads updated my cars being looked over now.
Hey guys so I just got back from the dealer tech couldn't do the update so dealer say they have to replace the unit. 1123 parts labor taxes. I told them no. Cesar in another thread with this issue and on a YouTube video I have seen ppl say the warranty covers it. I however am past warranty so I'm looking for other options.
I just encountered this issue last night (4/3/2020) on my 2014 Toyota Corolla. Waiting on an email from the service department (be surprised if they actually DO contact me) to see what's happening. I've downloaded the firmware update to a USB however I can't see the menu to install since it is in the reboot mode. Any ideas?
There have been a few updates ( https://securedp.toyota.com/download-app/downloads ). But as far as I know, none addressed this issue in units with navigation, if that's your case. Some say it was resolved by installing an updated map SDcard ($) or by doing this:
I just viewed the video that was uploaded but I'm not having the "map" problem. My problem is that it looks like the radio is rebooting....looks like when the computer is getting an update but nothing completes. The screen goes black....then the screen comes back on with a picture of the radio and a line under it indicating something is going on and that keeps happening. The radio got "stuck" before this happened when I was changing the status (Sirius XM) but that has happened before. Now....I did replace my battery in the car November 18, 2019 but nothing happened until now. Do you think your disconnect to terminal/pump brakes/reconnect terminal will work?
